The theme for this month's community jam is...
Have fun taking photos <3
Feel free to attach your photos to this thread to act as submissions! I know the itch photo size limit is a bit small, so alternatively here is a google drive folder to submit to if you want.
Also, a new OWS update to fix some bugs and a mac build should be released in the next few days, thanks for your patience!
Added my first shots via google disk.
Game: Counter-Strike 2
Tools: OWS + Source 2 console commands (.exe launched with -dev argument)
Added mine to the google drive! Very cool tool, got me to play my favorite game again for the first time in a while :}
Game: The Beginner's Guide
Tools: OWS
so a few months ago i stumbled upon a doll franchise called what's her face that was distributed by mattel around 00's i know how doll companies love making games as additional merch to their doll series so i quickly found this game with the same name that was released in 2002.
so this was a lil trivia to my work which is very straightforward i might say but still fun.. so yeah.. enjoy ! i added it to google drive folder
whoa that's so cool! ive never seen that game, the UI reminds me a lot of the post card editor inside of lego loco: 
I forgot about the theme! I think one of the exposures I did that fits synthesis might be this one. I call it "3600 chickens"
hi, we have added a folder with our collaborative project. It includes 40 images made in different virtual worlds (some of them were obtained by switching two applications while using shutter) + text (both in English and Russian) about our research project. thanks a lot for your tool, it was fun playing with it
My submission above, titled "A Wiggler In The Wind" which combines the games Saint Wiggler In The Desert and The Land Of Forgotten Souls
Below are some other attempts, which may or may not fit the theme. Use if u wish:
s i c k, the wiggler / forgotten souls one is my favorite, but i also love the circle crop on the last one (and the birds!) thanks for submitting!
Added several pictures (to my new folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kTyk5piWp9EN2DiVRE01R59qbPIhyRzX) from my favorite Dark Souls III, which I dedicated for almost a month (trying to understand it's debug menu).
I set myself the task of finding syntheses and transgressions of varying degrees, and levels of representation, within the classic mechanics and important moments of the game. I chose, for example, the moment of Princess Filianora's awakening. This was the scene I spent the most time capturing, but I don't regret it.
Let the rest of the elements and their synthesis show themselves in the eyes of the jam audience.
Game: Dark Souls III

Thank you very much for your comment. I very often think about the fact that FromSoftware games themselves are quite difficult to decipher. But I will try to shed some light on this series without particularly revealing the cards of the game itself, leaving room for interpretation and fantasy.
My main goal was to take one single good shot of the cutscene of Princess Filianore's awakening. I believe she is the most beautiful and important character in the Dark Souls series, and her awakening marks the true end of everything. The apogee of beauty within this game. There was a problem in the cutscene - there was a pre-arranged camera, different poses for Filianore (as a standard npc) + always had my character in the frame, which I didn't want. So I installed a patch to access the original Japanese debug menu(via patch). However, all of its options did not work in the cast scene. As I understood it, the cutscenes were taking the parameters of what to render from somewhere outside. So I used UXM to unzip the game and navigate through the files. After spending a couple of days exploring the file structure, I was able to literally delete the parts of the character that were taken by the game. This didn't cause any errors (!) but gave me a free scene to shoot. Next, I had to figure out the camera angles, the different Filianora models at different moments in the scene, and what speedhack I should set for the shutter speed I chose. I've long wanted to preserve Filianore's light in a special way, and I think it's no coincidence that I found a jam that's based on working with light and its mosaic of patterns.
The rest of the pictures are various kinds of syntheses of bugs, mechanics, embedded stories and interactions. I wanted to be between a fairly high speed game and a moment of perfect shot that dissolves into time through Open World Shutter.
You could say that the rest of the pictures are just Filianora's dreams. Or maybe what is filmed doesn't exist at all.
