The theme for the Week Sauce jam this May is…
COSMIC WONDERS
Now, I realize that even when all the options were mostly positive themes this time around, the one the community voted for in our Discord server may end up full of black holes and the uncaring vacuum of space. I am still hopeful we will see some Guardians of the Galaxy-like colorful takes, but yeah, I have been wrong before.
About Week Sauce
What's Week Sauce? It is a jam for people that want to participate on game jams but cannot commit to strict dates. 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. 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…
