Intrigued by a Game Jam...
but it happened months ago? or even years?!
Revive it now!

The Revival Jam is a short game jam about bringing back themes and constraints from older game jams to create small interactive fiction games. 

To participate: find a game jam or competition with a theme or other restrictions (e.g. interface, gameplay, mechanics, etc...), and make an IF game based on the constraint!

You can find ideas of previous events on the IF Wiki (Jams, Competitions), on itch.io, or even among the previous Neo-Interactives game jams.

Constraints and Rules:

• Your game should use the constraints or theme from any previous game jam or competition.
  You cannot use a jam that does not have constraints.
• You can revive one of your old projects that was previously unpublished (or will be very significantly updated for this jam), or make an entirely new game.
• Games should be interactive fiction; that is, they should be interactive in some way, and focus on the text.
• The Jam is open to any language.
• You can submit up to 3 entries!
• You should aim for a maximum gameplay length of 15-30min.
• Entries can have NSFW content, as long as it is indicated in your submission.
• Entries should not include any generated AI content.
• Spam or hateful content will be removed.
• During the duration of the jam and the two weeks following the deadline, the submissions should be free to play.

Possible programs to create Interactive Fiction:

• Primarily hypertext/choice-based: Twine,  Ink, ChoiceScript, Dendry
• Primarily parser/free-text input: Inform 6, Inform 7, PunyInform, Adventuron, ADRIFT
• Other: Bitsy, Binksi, Ren'Py
• and many more can be found listed in the IF Wiki.

At the end of the Jam, we will create an IFDB page for every entry. The IFDB, or Interactive Fiction Database, is an IF game information catalogue, creating a historical record of the IF landscape. You can also create this page yourself before the end of the Jam! Contact the organisers for questions or if you'd rather not be included.

You can also opt-in to see your entry submitted to the IF Archive (the entry will be playable from its IFDB page) or submit it yourself!
