This jam is now over. It ran from 2022-11-26 03:00:00 to 2022-12-03 08:00:00. View 61 entries

Making good games is overrated! Instead of trying to make games that are perfect, polished, and fun, let's make games that are broken, unfinished, and interesting.

This game jam is about having fun making games NOT making games that are fun. Here's some tips:

  • Don't like making tutorials? Explain nothing!
  • Did you really want to spend an afternoon making an options menu?
  • Planning is for winners (aka dont do it)!
  • Make big mistakes and laugh about them later.
  • Don't worry about running out of time. Even a feeling is a complete submission!
  • Bugs? Woah cool!
  • All graphics are optional
  • All gameplay is optional
  • Whole game is optional
  • The game jam is NOT optional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's do some bad games! Intentionally and unintentionally!

Join the BAD (bay area game dev) collective discord https://discord.gg/jHPpcebYp2 on Friday (Dec 2nd) at 7 PM PST to discuss the submissions.

(Hosted by https://patrickriordan.itch.io/ and the BAD Collective)
