(I'm posting this here in "general" because the Jams board rules state that only jams hosted on Itchio are allowed there. Also, I'm not involved in running the jam in any way, I just figured I'd spread the word anyway because I'm a weirdo)

The GMC Jam is one of those long-running jam events, having been around for like a decade. Not quite Ludum Dare levels of history, but hey, it's something.  And the next jam (36th) begins in less than 24 hours! If you are a Game Maker: Studio user that only are active on Itchio and forgot all about the Game Maker Community, you might wanna check it out. (Official GMC discussion topic is here.) The only really major rule is "entries must be made in some Game Maker version". It might not be as easy to join or vote as in an Itchio jam, but hey, we GM users gotta keep the tradition alive, right?

The theme hasn't been revealed yet, but everyone currently thinks it is "EVERYTHING HAS A COST" after some lucky guesses during the traditional "reveal one letter at a time" phase of hype building. (If you read this more than 16 hours after the topic was posted, the theme already was officially revealed.)

Turns out, the theme actually was EVERYTHING HAS A COST.
