Just this Itch community forum... I suspect they'll be more folks paying attention here once the jam starts 

I don't know of any comprehensive lists but there are wikipedia pages for many categories of works: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:1930_works

Not at the moment, but I'll aim to make one at some point!

Congrats on the game jam win for Best Visuals! What's the best email for me to use to coordinate the prize?

Congrats on the game jam win for Best Analog! What's the best email for me to use to coordinate the prize?

We're excited to announce this year's winners:

They're all worth checking out! You can read more about the winners, and honorable mentions, in this write-up on Techdirt.

Congrats to the winners and we hope everyone joins us again next year for Gaming Like It's 1930!

This year we had the largest number of submissions yet! Because of that, it's taking us a little longer to judge, but we're aiming to wrap up soon and announce the winners in the next couple weeks.

Hi Ashlee, I didn't see a file attached to the game. Did you upload one?

Modules, character playbooks, dungeons, and more are definitely welcome and we’ve seen submissions of them in the past. One tradeoff is that the judges might not have all the context to appreciate them but ultimate we hope participants are designing out of a love for designing and not for the judges!


Architectural plans from 1929 are definitely fair game, and a very cool inspiration!

Sorry - not this year! We don't have the bandwidth to give it the moderation it deserves...

I'm not sure what you're asking...you can certainly plan you game out before submitting it and paper prototyping is a great technique

you can definitely submit to multiple!

exactly six, including the facilitator who also plays

Hey all,

If you missed the deadline but still want your game included in the jam, feel free to reach out and I'll add it retroactively!

–Randy

Hey all,

We're going to have a meetup in the Foresight Games discord on June 18th at 9am PT: https://discord.com/invite/g8CkxYW6na

We'll be sharing the games we're working on for this jam and maybe playtesting if we have time and interest.

Hope to see you there!

Randy

Definitely! I actually think specific games are likely to be more successful, as long as there's a clear path to how someone else might remix them.

Here's a look at the printed Zine:

Nice - Enjoy the game!

There aren't any major content changes in the zine version. It's mostly layout and minor tweaks.

Hey all,

Thanks so much for participating! We've finished judging and here are the winners:

They're all worth checking out! You can read more about the winners, and honorable mentions, in this write-up on Techdirt.

Thanks again and we hope you join us next year for Gaming Like It's 1929.

We just announced them today and updated the main page:

Congrats on winning the award for Best Visuals in the Gaming Like It's 1928 jam! Let me know the best way to contact you for you to pick your prize.

Congrats on the winning the award for Best Remix this year! Let me know the best email to reach you at, so you can pick your prize.

Yup - feel free to patch it, Judges will be playing the games in the next few days

Looks great! Can you please send a free copy for the judges to randylubin@gmail.com ?

Hey all,

If you're submitting here, you're likely eligible for the Gaming Like It's 1928, also ending at the end of the month. Submit there if you're interested!

-Randy

We won't judge PC games but adding a video is a great way for lots of folks to check it out!

Supplements are allowed but will be judged on their own and judges may not be familiar with the core game

That sounds reasonable - thanks for asking!

Thanks for submitting! What 1928 works does this draw inspiration from?

Any genre / mechanics are fine!

The 1928 works won't enter the public domain until January 1st. Then, you'll be able to find many of them at the Internet Archive or HathiTrust.

That's right - 1928 works are fair game. Thanks for catching it!

(1 edit)

Yeah that's fine - but you probably should not publish it before it starts in case it violates copyright law

It’s for describing how the Major Conflict of the setting resolves. For example if the major conflict was between the Mars settlers who want to terraform and the settlers who want to leave Mars natural, perhaps the Conflict Resolution is that they agree to creat giant domed Martian preserves that won’t be affected by the terraforming.

Congrats on the game jam win for Best Visuals! What's the best email address for me to reach out about the prizes?
