Hi. I'm TheGrumpyGameDev. I stream on twitch at an unreasonable hour each morning. "Matty Two Shoes was WRONG, dude!"

This is my game jam.

It reflects the types of games that I make, which are games in VB.NET that are played within a terminal window, otherwise known as "console apps".

The Rules:

  • The game must be written in VB.NET, so you'll want to have the source code available.
  • The game must render its content into a terminal window (i.e. it is a console app).
  • The game must adhere to the theme in some readily apparent way.
  • The game must be launchable from within the itch app. There is a trick to this with console apps.
  • The game must be "wholesome". I don't know how you would make a game in a terminal NSFW, too violent, have too much gore, or the other usual things that are typically disallowed in jams anyway. I'm certain that some of you could surprise me.
  • Make the game during the jam. Don't be that person. You know who you are.

The Theme:

The theme is:

***You Can't Move***

Take that!


The Discord:

Here.

The "Prizes":

Each entrant that follows the rules(according my own judgement) will get a steam key for Freebooter of SPLORR!! (Which is neither written in VB.NET nor is a terminal app, but I happen to have made it so I can hand out steam keys to it at no personal expense. Nothing is perfect, and you still get "something".)
