This jam is now over. It ran from 2022-10-14 00:00:00 to 2022-10-27 05:30:00. View results

Judging time extended 3-days!
Be sure to score games that need more rankings!

They know you abandoned them,
and they're back for revenge.

Maybe it's a project you have long-since forgotten. Maybe it's a half-finished experiment gathering dust in your lab. Maybe it's an idea that haunts your dreams. Maybe it's a doodle without a single thought.

It's time!
It's time to exhume those long-dead ideas!
IT'S TIME TO BRING THEM TO LIIIIIIIFE!

The rites be followed precisely,
lest we draw the baleful glare of the eldritch mods.

  • Finish between 7PM CDT October 13, 2022 and 11:59 PM CDT October 24, 2022.

The jam kickoff event starts in the Society of Play Discord at 7PM CDT on October 13!

We'll be assembling teams if you'd like to join/build one!

If you're looking for likeminded people to collaborate with, there will also be a team forming event that evening.  Check out the projects people are resurrecting, maybe resurrect your own, and find some fun people to work with!

The spirits are rising.
There will be no peace until they are dealt with.
We must move with haste.
