Make one TINY game this September and share the process with other people doing the same thing.

Hi, I’m Nat. I’ve become a bit addicted to making games quickly. I’m currently making 100 TINY games in 100 days, and I’d love some company.

TINY Jam is a monthly invitation to finish a game and make friends along the way. Pick an idea that fits the time you’ve actually got, then give yourself a clear finish line.

The jam has two rules:

• your game must be playable in a web browser; and
• your game must be TINY:
  • Tangible means someone else can play it as a complete experience.
  • Intentional means it has a clear sense of play, whether that comes from an interaction to explore or a feeling to experience.
  • Novel means you’re trying something new for you.
  • Yours means it reflects your own creative choices.

When you start work on your TINY game, start a thread in the Community tab with what you’re making and what you’ll consider finished. Do this first before you release your game, this is your accountability step. Return to that thread about once a week with your progress and next step. Take an interest in someone else’s game too, so we each have someone following along.

Upload your browser-playable game to itch.io and submit it before the deadline above. The submission form asks one question for each letter in TINY, giving you a chance to reflect on what you made.

Once you’ve submitted, play some other entries and leave their makers a thoughtful comment. I’m looking forward to seeing what you make.

Nat
