**Apologies if this is in the wrong place!If so, I'd be happy to have it moved elsewhere.**

Hi everyone! I'm excited to announce that the first ever "BARA JAM" is now open to the public for viewing and to sign up! BARA JAM 2018 is hosted on itch.io here: https://itch.io/jam/barajam-2018

BARA JAM is a 1 month long game jam, beginning on November 1st - 30th, dedicated to creating male and/or male-relationship focused games that feature the "BARA" influence. Bara content lean towards containing a character(s) who are muscular, of bear-like build, possibly hairy or rugged. Although Bara can mean different things to different people, a good summary of this jam is a focus on non-bishounen characters, a reflection of varied body shapes and comfortable masculinity.

So start discussions, find a team, spread the word or get hype by joining us and finding out more through BARA JAM's media:
