I'm not gonna lie, I pretty much stopped writing altogether. But I might start again just from all your support. Words cannot express my gratitude—Thank you so much!

THANK YOU SO MUCH i don't think I've ever had anyone binge my work like you before, and I am so so grateful. Thank you for all the love and support. My heart is so full right now, and it's all thanks to you!!! 

Thank you so much for playing! And i'm so sorry for the late response—I'm not sure how I missed this! Glad you enjoyed the cereal bit, I had a blast writing it. And WOOHOOOOO way to go getting the password!!!

Thank you 100beavesasinbeavers 😭❤️ Your comments make me so happy. Thank you thank you thank you for playing and commenting. You're the best!

AH that's a great way of describing it. This was my first ever game/poem/thing so it was a lot of exploring and discovering (which is to say i too felt lost but in a good way). Thank you so much for playing and commenting!

No this is great, I think you really nailed it! And art is an interaction anyway, so whatever you get out of it is the point. Thanks again <3

Hahaha, thank you so much! I am tickled pink by all your comments, truly.

Gahhh thank you so much!!!

First of all, I am so sorry for how long it took me to respond! How could I miss this??? Thank you so so so much for playing and commenting and being my fan.  😭❤️ Your kind words mean the world to me. I've read this comment like 5 times in disbelief. Thank you so much!!!

Your understanding of the characters is just the best. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for playing and commenting 😭❤️

Amazing job axoona! Freedom under capitalism is freedom to choose which capitalist steals your labour

These are all super intriguing! 

Thank you so much!

Ah I see. No changes have been made but it is a rather long jam. Will it go back on the calendar once it's closer to its finish date?

shufPoetry Experimental Poetry Jam

Hey leafo, our jam just started today (yippee!) but for some reason it disappeared from the calendar? Do you know why this happened, or is my browser just being funky?

Hi there, when I try to join the discord it says that the invite is invalid. What can I do?

It's up! Thanks leafo

Thank you axoona! Please submit if you can, we love your work :D

Will do! Thank you

Oh yay! Yeah I love it. I'll have to go scope out your work, it's so amazing seeing all the different things people do with the same software :)

hey dh! I'm co-hosting a jam with shufPoetry and just wanted to let you know that we've listed your game as one of the ones people can look to for "poetic inspiration." Is this okay? hope you are well! this is the jam page if you wanna see it: itch.io/jam/shufpoetry-jam

Hi Y'all!

I'd like to formally invite all of you to shufPoetry's first ever poetry-game jam! The official jam page is here, where there's more information about shufPoetry (an experimental poetry publication) and the jam itself. 

if you're asking, WHY SHOULD I JOIN? I have made a comprehensive list of reasons you should join, even if you're not a poet:

1. Jams are so much fun!
2. Poetry is whatever you define it as! (Seriously, go to any poetry class, the first example they usually give of "found poetry" is a grocery list)
3.  I will play and comment on EACH SUBMISSION fully, so if you want feedback from yours truly this is your chance!
4. You can get published in a real life literary magazine! And how!
5. Don't you want to experiment in the form?! Make a weird game and slap the title pOeTrY on it so it feels artsy and cool?! It doesn't even need words! Ahh

Seriously I just want people to be not afraid of "poetry" as a genre, especially since I see SO MANY awesome poetic games here all the time. Anyway if you're interested please check out the Jam page here!

Okay thanks for your time! 

Awesome, thanks!

hey there! Alienmelon has a cool app called the Electric Zine Maker, which helps you make zines you can print out, or keep online (with the help of the EZM html publishing tool). Can I use those for this?

Very artful game! I love the graphics and the sounds. Mechanically I found it a little boring (all I do is hold now the mouse to the right?) but the narration was captivating enough that I played til the end, where I really enjoyed the hopping and shedding skin bit! Great piece, please make more :)

Hey my friend is stuck, there's a pop up window and it's all grey and no way to get back to the zine maker (not even to force quit it). The popup window came from the image overlay tool. Any tips on how he should proceed?

Ah dude that's awesome! I totally FEEL the want to not rely on twine or any other engine. Looking forward to more of your work! Your prowess with twine is hella inspiring 

OMG dh thanks so much for your in-depth response!!! You're amazing and I really appreciate your work and kindness. Thank you so much, i def might try to make something like this if you don't mind haha i could use the html and css practice for sure!

Dude this is awesome! And speaks to a super relatable experience (as I write from the foodbooth i work at). Can I ask how you made this? It's super cool and I love that it's mobile friendly

Hey bipalone! I too use game dev to process emotions, and I'm glad you decided to be vulnerable so you could make this moving piece. Looking forward to playing more of your work!
