Once again the community could not decide, so we got two themes to choose from this month. The themes for August on Week Sauce, voted by our community on Discord, are…
🕙 Time Travel
or/and
🌾 Harvest
We accept it all, from wibbly wobbly, timey wimey stuff, to harvesting crops, organs, or souls, to exploiting the fabric of the time continuum to make your pixel vegetables grow with none of the boring and hardship-related parts of farming. Once more, it is all up to you!
And remember, if you don't like the themes we totally accept anything else you make for Week Sauce. Let's make some games!
About Week Sauce
What's Week Sauce anyway? It is a jam for people that want to participate on game jams but cannot commit to strict dates or enjoy being judged. It is a very chill, non-ranked jam, that doesn't have a lot of requirements. You only have to make a game (of any type, tabletop games included) in 7 days, and then publish it. More importantly, you don't need to make it in 7 consecutive days; you can decide what days work for you. We also don't care if it turns out to be 8 or 10 days instead of 7. You can work in any engines or programming languages, alone or with a team, and even the theme is completely optional. The only important thing here is to support you on developing and posting a very minimal game. It is a very a chill jam that hopefully helps you improve your game-making skills or break free of a creative rut.
You can join whether you are new to game development and looking for a no-pressure environment to start, or you just have a lot going on in your life and need a more flexible schedule. Although publishing a game on itch.io is not a requirement, we have been hosting jams here every month, and almost all our submissions have been through itch.io. So…

Welcome to another Week Sauce game jam!
If it is your first time joining us, you should know Week Sauce is not really a monthly jam, but more of a “work on a project for a few days without stressing about schedules” deal. We are all about having a good time while working on our games, so there is no competition, we are very loose with deadlines (just get in touch if you finish your project after the end of the month), and even looser on judging your work (as in, we will not). Participate, join our Discord to talk with us about your project, ask for help if you need it, and offer advice and cheer other participants.
Week Sauce is also a super friendly international community, open to people of all ages and levels of experience that just want to have a good supportive environment to work on their little creations, so if you know of somebody that would benefit from that, send them our way!
Anyway, every month the community in our Discord server votes for a (totally optional) theme, in case you need help getting the creative juices going. For August two different themes tied for first place, so as usual when this happens (that by the way, is way more often than I ever thought possible), you can use one, the other, both, or none. The themes are…
🕙 Time Travel
and/or
🌾 Harvest
Is your game about a blue police box with a penchant to always appear right before an apocalyptic situation develops? Is it about an apprentice grim reaper harvesting not-so-willing souls? Or about the dangerous paradoxes in crop rotation that emerge when you keep accelerating and decelerating time around your Farm Village? As always, it is up to you! And hey, if you don't feel inspired by this theme, remember that it is totally optional! The jam accepts everything and anything you make.
As always, thanks for joining us, and have fun!

Your submission has been disqualified. As stated in the jam's page, "your game must be created during the jam and for this jam only; if you created it or submitted it to a different jam, please don't re-submit it to Week Sauce." Feel free to submit a different game created for our jam, and thank you for your interest.

Anyway, every month the community in our Discord server votes for a (totally optional) theme, in case you need help getting the creative juices going. For July the poll was really close between 2 options, so we decided to allow both! They are…
👻 Rulebook for the Recently Deceased
and/or
↩️ Return to Base
Is your game about helping little spectral characters survive in the draconian afterlife, or about learning their ways to hunt them down? Is your game about a hunter/gatherer tribe trying to fix up their village, or about space marines in an alien planet trying to get back to their drop point? As always, it is up to you! And hey, if you don't feel inspired by this theme, remember that it is totally optional! The jam accepts everything and anything you make.
As always, thanks for joining us, and have fun!

Voting for the jam's theme is happening right now on Discord. The options this month are…

The theme for June on Week Sauce, voted by our community on Discord, is…
🎎 Puppet Master
We accept it all, from traditional Punch and Judy shows, to the more furry creatures favored by Jim Henson fans, from manipulative mustache twirling masterminds, to more or less active rag dolls, games inspired by Metallica albums, or by dubious horror movie series from the 90s. Once more, it is all up to you!
And remember, if you don't like the theme we totally accept anything else you make for Week Sauce. Let's make some games!

🎎 Puppet Master
Is this about some devious manipulative scheme, with plenty of twirling mustaches? Or is it about ragdolls being treated poorly as usual? It is up to you, but I really hope to see some good muppets. And hey, if you don't feel inspired by this theme, remember that it is totally optional! **The jam accepts everything and anything you make.**

Not a problem! Feel free to join again anytime you want, we have the jam running all the time (you can find the latest one at https://itch.io/jam/weeksauce ). We also love hearing about, and helping people with, their game making on our Discord, if you feel like joining. Cheers!
The theme for May on Week Sauce is…
🤖 Drones, Not Evil After All! 😈
Once again our community on Discord could not vote for just one theme, so we ended up combining 2 of them into this clearly superior, but not bent on global domination, theme.
What drones are we talking about anyway? Are these Borg drones, but their collective is more about assimilating pastries on Sundays? AI cyborgs fighting not to enslave humans, but to liberate them from boredom with some stand-up comedy? The flying kind, trying hard not to misdeliver your packages? Or the monotonous hum of the most boring professor ever, putting some invading inter-dimensional horrors to sleep? It is again up to you!
