An analogue project would be sth you don't necessarily need a computer to play. A LARP, a TTRPG, materials for either. A short story, a board game, or something similar would also qualify!

If you find something particularly inspiring related to the theme of the jam, feel free to share it here, be it a picture, a story, an article or whatever else!

Exchange ideas, talk about the game you have in the works, or just meet some cool folks in the ttrpg community in this thread! If you're struggling with something, don't be afraid to ask for help here! 

Hell yeah, glad you had a good time!

Heck yeah! Glad you like it. We definitely wanted to leave space for playing the Almoner as someone who benevolently believes in the cause, or as someone who is deeply self-serving in their support. Sounds like we accomplished that goal!

I'm fine doing an extension! Especially since June's been kicking my ass as well hahah. This is a very casual thing so it's no problem at all

It's probably not happening, sorry!

Heya! I think you need to go to the page and press an "Approve" button somewhere -- might need to navigate to the "Edit the bundle" page. Itch stuff is confusing hahah

This should work I think!

Alright, I put together the bundle. Now y'all just need to approve it and we're good to go!

Heya! Wound up having some delays since I extended the jam for a week and then immediately went out of town after it ended, but I should be able to put the bundle together today-tomorrow and hopefully start on Monday

Oh hell yeah! The Pokedex is already kinda just full of folklore so leaning into that for your game could be cool. I'm interested to see what you come up with!

Thinking about making a game inspired by the six wives of Henry VIII . You play as the wives called together by Catherine Parr who's a necromancer to get revenge on the king. Anna of Cleves is probably like a cool huntress or the face, and the other four are various undead.

No worries! I'm excited to see what you came up with

From the Kitab al-Bulhan (Book of Wonders), here are a couple of pages, one of which features a wonderfully round crab representing a constellation, as well as some birds and snakes from a folk tale. I love these depictions of animals, with their wonderful shapes, as well as the chaotic way the text is laid out here. You can browse the full book here.

This gorgeous spread depicts the 7 Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, with notes about each. It's a beautiful piece and I love the way it depicts geography through book layout and text placement.

If you find any particularly inspiring images, texts, articles, documentaries, etc. feel free to share them in this thread!

Exchange ideas, talk about the game you have in the works, or just meet some cool folks in the ttrpg community in this thread! If you're struggling with something, don't be afraid to ask for help here.

Over the course of this jam, I'll be posting various particularly inspiring images with some commentary in this thread. Hopefully you'll find something you can make use of, or find something to inspire you.

Starting us off is the German incubula where the illustration in the banner for this jam originates. The incubula includes several partially coloured woodcuts depicting various figures dancing with death. You can browse it here.

It should probably be fine as long as you give proper credit to the designer. You won't be able to submit them to the jam but I'm personally fine with folks publishing a game using one of my covers for this after the jam is finished. Though hopefully the week's extension will help!

Nope, won't be an issue really, I believe

I could a small extension yeah. For now I'll do a week!

Gonna wait for the jam to actually be over before moving forward, but here's some details that need to be figured out and my suggestions for each:

Bundle Name: Mock Cover Jam Bundle
Price: $15 (possibly $20), even split for all
Bundle duration: May 23rd - June 6th (two weeks), possibly starting a week later but starting sooner after the jam is probably better

I think that's all the important bits

It's a standalone game with 10 pages!

If you think you have the time for it, feel free. Though I should say I'm working on sth for Forbidden Psalms for the Wretched

Hey everyone! I'm thinking maybe we could put together the games submitted to this jam as a bundle and wanted to do an interest check and figure out the details!

I think I'm gonna try and make something for Forbidden Psalms for the Wicked. No promises though cause I'm not sure I'll have enough time hahah

It's probably best to reach out to whoever's using the cover you want and see if they're fine with it. I personally don't mind.

Not at the moment, but if you'd like a copy, reach out via witchbreak.rpg@gmail.com and I can send you a code!

That's fun! Gotta say, I wasn't specifically thinking of that cover when I made this one, but serendipitous nonetheless!

In case you don't want to make a whole project page for just a single cover, feel free to upload it to this thread instead! Just be sure to include the relevant info, such as the name you wish to be credited by.

If you'd like to let others know which cover you're making a game for to help avoid having too many people jumping on the same cover design, feel free to let folks know here!

If anyone's a bit late with their submission but would still like to have it tossed up here for the jam, feel free to get in touch and I'll toss a late submission url at you that still lets you get the game included!

https://yurir.itch.io/greatersecrets

Just a name is fine, but feel free to include a link to my itch or twitter. Either works!

Heck ye!

If you have a cover you've made and don't feel like uploading it as a project through itch, drop it in this thread. I'll probably also drop a few more cover designs during the course of the jam, since it's been nice to get some practice in making them so far! For the big pack of 20 covers, see here.

If you'd like to let others know which cover you're making a game for to help avoid having too many people jumping on the same cover design, feel free to let folks know here!
