Bring Out Your Ghosts

Do you have WIPs that you've put on indefinite hiatus?Projects you've started and then abandoned or forgotten?Then this is the place for you.

The Bring Out Your Ghosts Jam is a place to show off the ghosts of the game development process. Abandoned or forgotten WIPs. Overly ambitious projects that never got off the ground. Notes and ideas for games that never came to be.

The name and timing of the jam is inspired by the Ghost Festival (or Zhongyuanjie) in East Asian tradition, a time when the ghosts of the deceased are said to visit the living. Imagine being visited by the ghosts of dead WIPs. What would they say?

Inspired by the Bring Out Your Dead Jam, hosted by Emily Short.

Rules

Incomplete and abandoned games, ideas, notes, etc. are all welcome.

Projects updated because of this jam are also okay. If you decide to revisit (or finish!) an old abandoned project because of this jam, that's great!

As with the original Bring Out Your Dead Jam, it would be nice if you include some context in the Author's Notes when submitting. How did your project come about? Why was it abandoned or forgotten? What lessons can be learned from the process? This is optional but encouraged :)

While the creators of this jam come from the interactive fiction community, any games, physical games, text, etc. are allowed.

No hate speech or spam entries.

Limit of 3 submissions per person.

The Jam is open to any language.

Opening c0mms for Palestine! I’ll be donating 75% to Care for Gaza and eSIMs! If interested, dm or email me, and please share this around! get a cool drawing while helping a good cause 🇵🇸💕

[hagrockfiction]

Here are some of the donations for Congo

[hagrockfiction]

btw as we watch the death toll rise, please keep in mind that Israel cut off power to the Gaza Strip. their hospitals are running on generators. it will take more time to get an accurate death toll for Palestinians because of this.

also, as of 2:20 pm EST, there are 232 confirmed Palestinian deaths, and 200 confirmed Israeli deaths. there are also 1,697 injured Palestinians, and many are in critical condition.

and remember: the power was cut off. the hospitals are running on generators. people need ICU care and there are medical supply shortages. this is killing people.

SUPER IMPORTANT ITCH NEWS

Itch is changing hosting domain soon.

This change will affect any game saving as localStorage (cookies/cache). Your old saves won't be available after the change of server occurs!

This is especially important for Twine games, saving in the localStorage of your browser (when you use the autosave/save function). Saves in localStorage are URL dependent (so server dependant). If you play the same game in different URLs different saves will appear for each URL.

Export your saves now!

EDIT: a neat helpful tool to mass download/mass load your local saves

Where you can donate to help Maui, Hawaii

this article has places listed that you can donate to, but i’ll also put direct links to some of these places in this post:

Maui Mutual Aid Fund

Maui United Way

Maui Strong Fund

Maui Food Bank

Maui Humane Society

my family is based in Oahu, but i consider all the islands my home even though i physically haven’t stepped foot on them before. seeing all the homes and history and memories being lost in this hurts.

if you are unable to donate, don’t feel guilty—doing things like spreading the word and making people aware of the situation helps as well. thank you for whatever you can do! mahalo

(nonsexual b00bs or butts are ok) You can get something highly rendered for a higher budget or if you have a lower price point I also do sketches. ^^ thank u guys

filterable picrew database!

hey pals!! i'm working on a filterable, tagged collection of picrew i like. right now there's about 60 picrew (and other such makers such as those from neka or meiker) in there with tags for things like fashion, hair options, skin colors, specific features like horns or headscarves, and body types. you can search for multiple tags at a time and filter out tags you don't want. the whole thing is organized in a big grid of sample results from the picrew in question, so you can see the style at a glance and click it for more images and the url, but you can change the view and organization system however you like.

the link is here!!! feel free to share this wherever. i'm still going through my folders and adding more makers, so expect lots of updates real soon.

i'm hoping this makes it easier for people to find picrew that suit them and their characters, especially in cases where it's unfortunately harder to find certain features like dark skin options and fat bodies.

have fun!!!! i hope this is helpful for people!!!
