I'm sorry that's really frustrating. I went through the check out process myself to see whether i could replicate it. i think it might be a paypal error as you say, or cookie/cache issue with your browser.  Sorry for it to be so roundabout, but perhaps if you try clearing those it might work. Though obviously you'll need to re-login to stuff.
 

Sorry that you're having trouble. The organiser has been under a lot of stress with the bundle because of behind the scenes stuff, which is why its so late this year. Itch has been very very slow in its assistance and they've had a lot of flack from people.

Is the direct link. when I click to buy it, I can just change the $20  suggested donation to $10. Is this the issue you're having? Alternatively there will be more community copies at the end of the bundle period if you'd rather wait. Otherwise let me know if i can help with troubleshooting?

Hi,

In the interest of directing people to buying the Queer Games Bundle and spreading funds to many more queer creators and artist, there will not be any community copies added until the bundle period has ended.

If you'd like to check out the bundle you can do so here https://itch.io/b/3062/queer-games-bundle-2025-with-10-option

There is also a $10 pay what you can option linked there.

❤️

Thanks! Im still adding to the lost bookshop and hope to continue growing it much like my collection of books. Im really happy it caught your eye ❤️

Hi,
It might just be that i'm not understanding  what we should be doing. I've filled in the form, should I then also submit the game to this Jam? for the bundle, or do we wait for approval?

Thanks

Hi, as mentioned in the kickstarter message if you picked up a copy via the Kickstarter. Only the zine is complete, but was digitally released early for backers. The Art for the VTT and the VTT itself is still in process. 

We're planning on submitting an Ashcan (hope that's ok?), because the scope creep has crept and whilst we now have a playable version, it's not going to be pretty and all singing and dancing in a week (or two).  Though defintiely nothing wrong with more time. 

As other parts of the Puzzle haven't been posted by others I'll start sharing them over the next few weeks. I won't be sharing them  in any kind of predetermined order, just randomly. I also won't re-share the part that have already been posted.  Happy Solving!

Awesome, thanks,  completed. Happy to send you over a copy with the printers marks and such?

There are community copies available on the page :)

* Face palm * I ran out of time. Ah well

Hiya, 

I just wanted to query whether it very specifically has to be an item ready for player use for this Jam, or whether the micro game I made previously 
which is about creating an item, which can then be used would suit? I would redo the layout to be suitable for the size.

Thanks :)

Pieces of the puzzle have started to be posted in the puzzle begins topic. 
Here is where you can all put your heads together and work out what they all mean individually and as a whole! 

Over the next month or so, I'll keep checking back on the Puzzle begins thread, if all the pieces haven't been posted by 1st October, I shall start posting missing pieces. 

I'm sharing the missing pieces over in the Puzzle begins thread over the next few weeks.

If you've think you've worked it all out let me know your answer by posting
The  Answer:   (What you think the answer is)

In the meantime, please feel free to speculate below on what each piece means or trying putting them together.


 

It is!

The Community Puzzle is winging it's way around the world along with copies of The Tower. If you get a part of the puzzle, take a picture of the puzzle piece and post it here! 

Then hopefully you can all collectively solve it!

ETA: I'd like to keep this topic minimal chat so that the pieces don't get lost. There is another topic called Putting the Pieces together for solving :)

Hair raising!

This is simple and says a lot in very little, it's heartwarming.

This is a fun quick roll a dungeon :), agreed on the blue font.

I enjoy that this is nice simple way to include assistance for a bigger game, whilst also allowing for new threads to be created beyond it.

This is very fun, a book exchange with teeth!

This was so good, i have many feelings about it.  I'm excited for the next book! 

I'm really sad to have missed it, different time zones do not make it easy :(

Thank you! Im really glad it was useful to you and you enjoyed it ☺️

many thanks!

I would like to submit to the bundle, and I have 2 current games, but am working on another atm, which might not be finished in time for the Jam closing but will be finished before the bundle will go live. Can I update my submission when it is ready after the Jam closes?

I'm putting together what will become my first published adventure for this Jam, I've a few of the features that i've easily incorporated, but I wondered if it was a requirement to use all the features in the submissions?
