[Cover Image Alt Text] "Function Disabled: An Annual Disability Pride Jam" written in yellow-green text on a green, gem-like background. There are two yellow border lines surrounding the image.

[Banner Image Alt Text] Same as the cover except the border lines only go up and down, and there is a green gradient on the sides.

[Background Image Alt Text] The same green gem-like texture as the cover image's background.

Welcome to Function Disabled 2025! This is a jam I'm hosting for the third year in a row now! This is an unranked jam for disabled creators meant to just get our stuff out there and uplift our community. Check out the submissions from last year and the year before! There is also a discord! (Note: due to issues with screen reader compatibility, these links open in the same tab. If you'd like to open them in a new tab, right click and select "open link in new tab"!)

RULES:

  • The idea of this jam is to support disabled creators! If you identify as disabled, then feel free to submit! If you don't, then consider checking out the submissions and supporting the creators! This is honor system based obviously.
  • If you're working on a team, the principal creator should be a disabled person, but teams may have people who do not identify as disabled on them.
  • Any form of art you can figure out how to post on this site is fair game! Video Games, Physical Games, Zines, Comics, Music, whatever you want!
  • Submissions are encouraged to be about experiences with disability in some way, but this is not required!
  • While content can be about dealing with the prejudices of the world, content that promotes bigotry is not allowed. This includes movements such as Zionism.
  • AI Generated content that utilizes training data that is not your own is not allowed. There are many, many asset packs drawn by real humans on itch.io, and many even are public domain! 
  • We encourage making your work as accessible as possible, but understand this can be difficult to manage as a disabled creator.
  • NSFW content is allowed,  but it and other sensitive topics must be warned for appropriately.
    • As such, we ask that only 18+ creators submit or join the discord server, for the sake of safety.
  • Late submissions are allowed! Send your work over to me through social media (harpoon--gun on bluesky!) or through discord if you decide to join the server and I'll add it on!
  • Already published submissions are allowed! We just ask if you submitted something for a previous Function Disabled Jam, you submit a different project this year. You may also submit your project to other jams, if they allow that sort of thing.
  • Submit your work to other jams it fits if you so desire.
  • Feel free to charge for your work!
