RPG Maker Horror Game Jam #2


2nd of February - 12th of March

RPG Maker has spawned many great horror games and now it's time to create games in the style of these classics! You are welcome to join this jam no matter if you are a beginner or an experienced developer, so long as you want to create a game inspired by traditional RPG Maker horror games. Hopefully, at the end of the game jam you will have something playable you can be proud of!

Theme: Macabre Carnival

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Masks and Costumes: The player character has the ability to wear different Masks and/or Costumes that each have a different effect, such as giving them special abilities or allowing them access to different areas.

2 - Carnival Games: The player is able to participate in various minigames.

3 - Danse Macabre: There are dancing skeletons in the game.

Here's the link to the game jam!

I am interested in—horror games. I think horror games are going to be a lot of fun. Where can I check for feedback and reviews of previous game jams?

Well, the link to the previous game jam is easy to find, just replace the 2 with 1 like this:

There were actually 20 more game jams before that one which had a different naming pattern, I reset the count for various reason, but just like with the previous example, simly change the numbering part of the url and it should bring you to where you need:
