Oh, sorry! I misread you're question. Last year, it was around the end of August, so that will likely be the case for 2026.2.

Hello! I sent you a friend request! I’m part of a small team of two and we’re interested in working with you. We both have quite a bit of experience making games and participating in game jams. I can tell you more about it on Discord. 

“Submissions open from February 15th 2026 at 6:00 AM to February 22nd 2026 at 6:00 AM”. Thats what it says on the game jam overview, so thats when the game jam will start.

Thanks for reaching out, but I’ve found someone else to team with. Good luck finding teammates!

Hello! I think you meant to send this to someone else. I don't have any friend requests, and I don't remember sending you one. The friend request I sent was to shlomitia.

Hello! I sent you a friend request so we can chat! I’ve made a few games in Godot and this is my fifth game jams! I would consider myself a generalist. I’m best at 2D art and writing, but I can also program in GDscript.

Here are some of my games: https://amethyscent.itch.io/

Thanks! I sent you a friend request!

Yes, I am! Do you have a Discord where we can chat?

Not a sound designer or composer, but I just wanted to say that I love your art!

Hello! I’m also a game design student and I’ve participated in 5 game jams so far. I may be interested in working with you, and I can give you some advice too if you’d like! Do you have experience working in Godot?

Hello! I sent you a friend request. I just want to ask you some questions on discord to see if we'd work well together, if you don't mind!

Hello! I’m looking to team with one person, two maximum. I’m strongest at 2D art and writing and am weakest at coding and making music, but I am a generalist. This would be my first time working in a team, but my 6th game jam. 

I’m looking to make a 2D story-based game in Godot. I’d prefer to work with someone over 18, perhaps with a specialty in coding. However, I’m also fine with working with artists, writers, etc.. 

Also, I am a small YouTuber, and would like to make a video on the game we make afterward. You would not have to do anything specific for the video, and I will credit you as a co-creator of the game. However, if you want a bigger part in the video, we can discuss that as well!

Thank you for playing!!

Thank you so much! I definitely agree that the combat could be much improved in future iterations!

Thank you, and I definitely agree!

Thank you!

Really impressive that you managed to put together all those story details during the jam! I know how tough it is to come up with a story with fleshed out world building in a short amount of time.  So amazing work on that end!

It’s always a tricky balance between pulling the player/reader straight into the action and making sure they actually understand how the world works through exposition. And trying to juggle that in such a short window is even harder. Despite the things I pointed out, it's still a very impressive job!

Wow! Well, it was super satisfying to me!

Thank you so much! I definitely wanted to add more flair to that final boss fight but didn't have enough time. When I eventually come back to this game, I'll definitely consider adding that!

Very unique game! Great job!

Extremely fun considering how simple it was! I ate a little over 100 cookies before I let myself be jump scared, just to see what it looked like. Great entry!

Thank you!

Thank you and rated :)

Very nice game!

Very fun little game! It's simple, but the objective is clear and attainable. I really like the colors of the background and think the sound effects really fit. Good job!

Really fun and unique game! All the little details and animations made me smile a lot. I especially loved the eating treat animation. Reminded me of my dog, lol. Great job!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

You're probably the third person to bring this up, and I totally agree! Consider it a plot hole, if you will. I didn't even think of that while I was in the middle of making it. Honestly, I was probably more focused on getting the game to work than on those important story points. I'm still somewhat of a beginner programmer, so the combat was a big challenge for me. I do plan on coming back to this game at some point. If not to expand it into a longer, more advanced game, then to at least fix bugs and add in the things I wasn't able to during the jam period (SFX, animations, more art, etc). Thank you again for playing :)

Nevermind! Looks like we ended up with the same idea, posted in each other's posts, and played each other's games at the same time!

Thank you! I actually just rated yours before even seeing this! Great game!

Thank you!

Rated yours! Here's mine:

Amazing amount of content for the amount of time allotted! The art is amazing as well.

Unfortunately, I did have some trouble following along and understanding everything. It's very clear that the lore/world building is very in-depth and complex. I think part of the issue is that the player doesn't really know any of it, and is just dropped in the middle of everything. I'm curious, was all the world building/lore/story/characters all created during the jam period, or is it based off of previously made lore? If it's the former, that's even more impressive! Also, I'm not sure what I was supposed to do to choose one of the characters. I tried talking to each one of the options, and I tried talking to one person over and over, but I wasn't given the option to choose anyone. Did I miss something?

Otherwise, great job for having been done in a week! It's great to see more story-rich games! Although, mine isn't nearly as story-based as this.

Very unique game! It's a bit hard to control, but I understand that's kind of the point!

Your game is amazing, and very impressive for having been done in a week! Rated and commented! I don't really need rates, but here's mine if you want :)
