Hello everyone,
We're happy to announce that tomorrow we will be launching a month long game jam for our game Suspect 2E!
The jam will run from March 4th 2024 to April 8th 2024. It will not be ranked.
Submissions can be cases for the game, new mechanics, or complete hacks of the game, as it's released under a CC-BY 4.0 licence.
If you'd like to take part, you can join the jam here: https://itch.io/jam/unsolved-case-jam
In Suspect the players take it in turns to play as the investigator and the suspects. The investigator asks questions and the suspects answer, building an ever more complicated web of events. As the suspects slip up and make mistakes the investigator challenges them until they finally accuse the culprit.
Suspect 2E builds on the previous edition expanding and clarifying the rules.
We've also released a Creator Kit to help people to make their own Cases for the game. The kit walks through creating a case, with annotated sections providing advice along the way.
If you're planning to make a case for the jam, be sure to check it out after reading the game. You can find it here: Making A Case: The Suspect 2E Creator Kit
This is the first time that we've hosted a game jam. Jams are special for the both of us, as that's how we got started making TTRPGs. We've since entered lots over the past few years and love the energy and excitement of people coming together to share what they've made. We're excited to see what people create.
Game jams and creator kits are new territory for us and we'd love to hear any feedback on how you find your experience!
Any questions? Ask away on the community board and we will make sure to check in regularly. You can find the community board, here: https://itch.io/jam/unsolved-case-jam/community
