🎮 Hey, Welcome to the Stop Killing Games Community Jam!
This is a game jam created and conducted by SKG community in support of the Stop Killing Games initiative.
But don’t worry, this jam is for everyone, not just those who already agree with it.

The initiative isn’t here to divide gamers, it’s here to unite them and help preserve what we love. In the case of this jam, that means making games worth keeping.
If you love video games, you’re in the right place.

💾 Bonus: Think About Preservation
Will someone be able to play your game if it disappears from itch?
Think about how preservable your game is:
- Can it run offline?
- Can it be downloaded?
- Is it tied to online services?
You might run into interesting challenges, and maybe even invent smart solutions we can all learn from.
🧡 Why?
Because we love games. And we’d rather see them preserved than erased.
No matter how the initiative unfolds, let’s make something worth preserving!
