I'm hosting a wizard jam this weekend (mostly as a way to motivate myself to make something) if you've been interested in the Wizard Ran series, and want to try making your own entry, feel free to join:

https://itch.io/jam/the-wizard-jammed

The point is to make a game that takes place in the "The Wizard Ran" universe, which can be played here:

Rules:

• Make a game that runs either on windows or in browser or both.
• The wizard arrives in a new location
• Problems happen, which may or may not have been caused by the Wizard
• The wizard runs away (this is the canonical ending, there may or may not be others?

Jam will last for the entire weekend, with some time remaining on monday to upload.

Feel free to ask for wizard assets (like graphics/music) on our discord server! https://discord.gg/ggqZ2c4

The second chapter of the wizard's weekly adventures focuses on the wizard's hometown, Castleton. This town features a nice market where you can buy everything you need for a nice adventure!

This is a 48 hour game making marathon, but spread out around two week-ends so you can choose the best moment to jam. It is focused on bad design, horrible mechanics, and stupid ideas. It runs from July 2nd, at 8PM UTC, to July 11th, at midnight. This jam is a parody of the GMTK game jam, which you can learn about here.

Who can enter? Anyone, of any age, from anywhere. You can work alone or in teams to make the worst possible game!

What is the theme? theme will be revealed in the bubbles, read the bubbles

What can I make my game in? Anything, provided you can upload a file that runs on Windows or browsers.

What assets can I use? Absolutely anything, whether you have the right to them or not. Feel free to reuse art or music from the public domain or even from existing games, I don't care. Just make sure you remain somewhat safe for work, as i'll have to make a video showcasing all the games. Although code-wise, I would prefer if you coded everything during the jam time.

Who will judge the games? Games can be judged by anyone. I will also play all the games and make a video compilation out of them. I like pain.

What will the games be judged on? This is a bad design contest, and anything goes. As a general rule rate more stars on criteria which fail excellently. For instance in the "Ear destruction" category, Final fantasy music would get a 1/5. A game that destroys your eardrums gets a 5/5. Here are the rating criteria:

• Frustration (does your game force you to wait or redo a lot of content?)
• Unfairness (how little does the player's skill impact gameplay?)
• Confusion (how badly do you teach your mechanics?)
• Uncanny valley (how ugly does your game look?)
• Ear destruction (how bad is the audio?)
• Bugs (or features in this case)
• Microtransactions (or any BS triple AAA game practice. Please don't use actual money for this though)

Is there a Discord I can join? Yes! Click here to join it

Further rules:

• You may participate in two jams at once if they happen at the same time and your game is bad enough to join my jam.
• Games submitted to the GBTK Jam should not get me banned from youtube/twitch so please remain somewhat SFW.
• No VR. (or at least make sure the game can be played with a mouse and keyboard)
• Your game must run on its own and not require me to install other software/viruses
• You may not enter a game that was made for a previous GBTK jam, but feel free to make sequels!

It is done! I have played all the GBTK5 games (from the jam where the goal is to make the worst possible game). Premiere is live: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w-iCY3Sxg8

The Game Breaker's Toolkit jam #5 will take place from April 2nd to April 11th. Please register here: https://itch.io/jam/game-breakers-toolkit-jam-5

Theme will be revealed as always during a youtube premiere on friday. The goal of this jam is to make the worst possible game!

I made a multiple choice adventure game which runs entirely through twitter!

Play it here: https://twitter.com/AdrienDittrick/status/1352019795781312512

You're stuck on twitter. Also you've just acquired amazing psychic powers like precognition and time-travel. What will you do?

Hey everyone! I heard you want worse games with worse graphics and would like to see more devs being paid. If that's your thing, I can recommend this bundle: https://itch.io/b/760/the-ad-games-undle

It is a collection of bad games which were all made for the Game Breaker's Toolkit jam, where the goal is to make the worst possible game. You can find more about it here:

• GBTK1 (the first one)
• GBTK2 (the sequel)
• GBTK3 (Control Alt Delete)
• GBTK4 (Is it over yet?)

You probably shouldn't buy this, but if you do, the revenue will be split somewhat equally between contributors. The total worth of this bundle is $0.00 + £0.00 after all. However if you want worse games with worse graphics and have the devs be paid more than that, this bundle is for you!
