"Trails, Roads, and Rails" by @nuzcraft! Congratulations!!! 🥳

But really, *everyone* who submitted a game to the jam, should consider themselves a winner! As long as you had fun and learned a thing or two, don't be sad. Be proud! 🙂

#FediJam

OH MY! It's the last day of this year! 😱 So if you've been working on a game for our jam (big or small, finished or not), don't forget to submit it in time please. 🙏 Actually, you can do it right away – and still update until the deadline as often as you want.

➡️ https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam-2

There will be fewer submissions than last time, so every contribution is appreciated. And yes, we learned our lesson: No further jams in December! 😅

And the theme for the December edition of the #FediJam is... "On Rails"!

December's getting closer, so with the kind help of @OktoberBeef, we gave our itch.io & Mastodon pages a small, seasonal facelift. 🙂 Have you joined yet? 👀 It's a game jam, for (and much like) the Fediverse: free, fun and for everyone. 😉

As always: Boosts are VERY appreciated! ❤️ Spread the word! And join!!!

We almost reached the halfway point of the #FediJam, our month-long #GameJam for users of the #Fediverse. So we figured this might be a good moment to remind everybody that you can submit your game early – even if it's not yet finished.

1) Create a new public (!) project on itch
2) Go to https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam and click "Submit your project"
3) Fill out the questionnaire (you can edit your answers later)

Note: Your submission won't become publicly visible before October!

And the theme for the #FediJam is... "Up In The Clouds"! A big thank you to each and every one of you wonderful people who voted and made keeping an eye on the results a real rollercoaster of emotions. We're excited to see what you'll come up with!

Also, if anybody can tell us why @itchiogames is not showing our jam in their jam overview still – we are all ears! 😭

We're truly blown away by your reception for our little #Fediverse #GameJam so far! 🤯 Thank you so much for everybody who has boosted & spread the word! 😭

We listened to your feedback and updated the jam page accordingly. For example, there is now a long list of #FOSS tools to create your game: https://itch.io/jam/fedi-jam Did we miss anything useful? 🤔 Tell us in the comments! :)

(Using FOSS during the jam isn't required, but highly encouraged!)
