The theme for September on Week Sauce is…
🌀 Aetherial Realms
Our community on Discord had four totally simple options to vote for this month (related to fire, water, air, or earth), but instead they went with the fifth element, probably to make it more difficult for me to write this description. Well, I am just gonna say, your game better has some chicken! And a multi-pass! Or you know…
- Steampunk sailboats flying between planets…
- Fairy kingdoms visible only at the witching hour…
- Ghostly apparitions bringing warnings from beyond…
- Travel to parallel planes of existence…
- Spells of transmutation…
- Encounters in the void at the other side of a black hole…
You get it, any such weirdness would be accepted. And if you send something not weird at all… well, we will totally still accept it, we are such a low pressure jam that we just roll with whatever you send us. Just make some games this September!
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…
