And thanks for checking it out and the questions! I'm working on the idea of turning this into a zine and guiding players through it week-by-week with added random events and stuff (and flat earnings per week rather than the dice lol) to mix things up more and make it less complicated.

Yes, you multiply the entire total (including the d20) by 20. I liked that I got an average (USUALLY) of about 35-45 with the full set of dice, and I originally multiplied it by 10, but I like the added variability of the d20 multiplication. Even though that means you might get a 1 or 2 and make under $100...

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I live in a very small town. When I made the game, I walked around taking notes of different things I saw.
I always had in mind to make different versions so that it included more things you might see in different areas. I am currently finishing up some other projects, but if you send a list of things you'd like to see added to a city edition feel free to list them in the comments or email me at cataclysmicknight at gmail.com.

This is so clever and fun and unique and awesome. It's one of those things that only an indie creator can make, in the very best of ways. And omg if I could just eat all of the junk in this house to get rid of it... 🍽️
Seriously, this is amazing and stylish and fun and clever and UNIQUE AS HECK. And fantastic!

Aaaaawwwww well Joan, that's wonderful! We actually have community copies on many of our recent releases still, and we have a whole free games list too if you're interested --> https://itch.io/c/3435507/free
I'm so, so glad you like them, Joan! That makes our day to hear that :D 🧡

Hi! Sorry about that. So when you click that button, a pop-up appears. If you click the "no thanks, just take me to the downloads" you should claim the game :D
This is the same for any pay-what-you-want game as well. If a game shows "pay what you want," a similar popup will appear. You can always just hit that "no thanks" button :D
On Friday I took part in two jams: a four-hour anniversary jam hosted by a good friend of mine and the latest Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam. I made something for each!
I made Make Your Own Fun in four hours. You can even watch me make it on stream here! There are 26 community copies remaining as I write this.
Then an hour after that ended was the Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam, and I made Remember... for that one. Remember... is free through Sunday (today) 🥳 and I'll add 30 community copies at some point Monday.
I'm delighted with how both turned out, and you can read more about both, how their creation went, etc. in this blog post.
Here are some images from Make Your Own Fun
And a couple from Remember...
OH WOW! That's freaking brilliant, I'd never heard of that before! I'll definitely look into it, I think that flipping the little wooden blocks in the classic Shut the Box is part of the fun and so figuring out a way to capture that in a piece of paper would be amazing too, even if it's just a separate printable. Then people don't need a bunch of change or whatever (cuz tbh no one uses cash these days lol).
Thanks for the recommendation!

Oh my goodness, this game is the freaking sweetest! 🧡 The premise is so adorable, the vibes of flying in a dangerous sky while dodging death, the way Amanda moves when she's casting spells, the ending... It's all incredible! I was so anxious, especially when a specific event happened toward the end that I won't spoil... Whew!!
Very well done, this is epic!

Oh wow, this was awesome!!!! I ended up running all the way up through the end of the demo both ways and using the first two suits. This was a blast and a super cool take on blackjack (which is hilarious cuz I literally just finished a blackjack-based game too, but mine is analog).
Seriously though, this is terrific! Thanks Itch for recommending it, and thank you for making it! I definitely wishlisted it :D

Oh my goodness, this is lovely! You had me from the title and tagline of being valid 🧡 I'm a trans gal and instantly related to that.
I love how much openness there is here for journaling. You're given just enough of a prompt to inspire thoughts and imagination, and then put pen to paper and create a story of growth and change.
Also I had no idea that mushrooms "led the charge" for other plantlife! That's such a cool way to weave that fact into the game.

Hi!!!! Thanks so much for the comment, I have it on my Todoist to get that changed and make room for the title. I found that even when I played it solo I wanted to write the title somewhere, and in zine form it's not bad (you can write it on the page "under" it so it isn't seen right away) but in the one-sheet form that's not the case. But it's nice to have the option of putting it right on the page, too, for a quick reminder like "Oh yeah, this was based on that song!"
Also thanks for liking it so much that you printed it out, too! :D
And yes!!!! LOL I'm so old (and out of touch lol) that I forgot the radio actually shows song titles on it these days 🤣🤣🤣 So I like that too! If I can fit that into the rules, I will

Hi! My partner, Angel, and I each created a game for Friday's Hyper 1 HOUR Game Jam, and we always celebrate by making our games free through the weekend. But with today being the Superbowl here in the US, I'm assuming loads of people won't be around 🤣 So we extended it by one extra day.
Both of these are IRL prompt games: Roll a Recipe has you creating a recipe, while Just Good Cookin has you creating a game!
You can get both free here --> https://itch.io/s/116413/whats-lookin-good-cookin
And you can read more about them, our inspirations, etc in this post --> https://www.patreon.com/posts/98255793
Individual Itch pages are here:

- Just Good Cookin' --> https://beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io/just-good-cookin
Lovely to meet you all! My partner, Angel, and I make TTRPGs, lyrical games, and yes zines too :D In fact, we have almost 50 zines now, many of which are free in digital form!
We're partaking in Zine Month for the very first time with our first crowdfunding campaign together! We're making 16 zines throughout February for a self-created challenge. While I've promised most of those as temporary exclusives, a few will release before this jam ends and we'll gladly get em in! 🥳
I'm a trans gal with rage issues, bipolar, and suddenly discovered I'm an extrovert when I shed my previous gender, but can barely escape the house as I live with someone who has a bad immune system. Plus we both had Covid once and YIKES.
Despite all of that, we're positive, uplifting creators who enjoy giving people tools and encouragement to rock their lives 🤘
And I just wanna add I LOVE THIS JAM!

Oh dang, amazing choices! And oooooohhhhhhhhhhh someone else knows who Sleep Token is!!!!
I was gonna do one based on The Will to Resist by Bleed from Within (I LOVE the line about "I am the Radiance and the Abyss" and I still wanna do that sometime).
But I think I'm gonna make "The Best Game in the World" based on Tribute by Tenacious D
