The Tool Jam 3 is over!

The winner is Motivation Keyboard by Zclipse, an indispensable tool that makes you feel like you're in a movie while typing on your computer keyboard !

Thank you and bravo for all your tools <3



This Jam is about creating a tool.

It can be a spreadsheet application, a painting tool, an animation maker, a music sequencer, a word processor, a bad idea generator, a game engine, a palette mixer, a fantasy console, a new programming language, an .png to .wav file converter, a spelling mistake generator, an MS Paint clone, or anything else.

  • Low-effort buggy tools that you develop in 30 minutes are welcome.
  • Ultra classy, customizable and full of features tools are welcome.

  • Your entry must be a tool.
  • You can start working on the project before the jam starts or finalize an old project for the jam.
  • But you can't submit a project that was already published on itch.io before the jam.

Apart from that pretty much everything is allowed: anyone can enter, working in a team is allowed, submitting multiple entries or submitting an entry to other jams is allowed, using pre-existing assets or code, working with any game engine/language/tool, it's all ok.

Theme: 2-in-1

2-in-1 as in two tools in one.

Like two complementary/opposite/similar/unrelated tools merged into one. Two tools intimately combined or only juxtaposed side by side.

Like a pencil with an eraser at the end, a compass-watch, a calculator that can also be used as a color picker, a thimble that can also be used as a vacuum cleaner.

Reminder: this theme is totally optional, you can take it literally, interpret it as you want or not use it at all.

Tools will be rated by anyone based on three criteria:

  • How nice or fun it is to use.
  • How much I could potentially use it in the future.
  • How innovative or original it is.

Questions?

If you have questions, please use the community section.

Discord?

Yes there is a discord server !! Personally I don't take care of it and I don't know much about what's going on there. But I hear it's great. Btw, I'm still looking for people who would like to be moderators or something.
