hello! i'm rae. i like making playdate games, and i wanted an excuse to make a new one. jams are a great way for me to just get out there and make something, and i had the realization that i can just...organize one myself. so, why don't you join me this week in making something cool?

this no-stakes playdate game jam is exactly as it sounds: just an opportunity for you to make some kind of playdate game, in case you need some kind of external motivator to get started. there are no ratings or rankings, no prizes to be won, just a week of time and a reasonable excuse to make a cool playdate game! i'd love to see what you come up with.

here are some rules:
• your game does not have to be made entirely within the jam period — the deadline's the "important part"! why not pick up an idea you had a while back or something?
• no AI assets (art. music, dialog) or code.
• if you used something somebody else made (like an asset pack), saying so would be nice (there'll be a spot in the submission form for it!)
• have fun! and don't push yourself. do what you can
• if you participate and don't wind up finishing your thing, i'd still love to see what you've started!
