I’m hosting my first game jam: the Name Jam! This will be a pretty experimental jam with a process unlike any other: make a game name, then make a game based on someone else’s name.

When the itch.io page goes live on Monday, the names period will begin. Each entrant will make up a name for a video game and submit it to the Community tab. When the games period begins, I’ll randomly assign each entrant to a name they didn’t submit, and they have to make a game based on it.

It’ll be unranked, casual, and hopefully really fun. Whether you’re a beginner or an expert, if this sounds like something you’ll enjoy, consider joining starting on Monday. I’ll see you there.
