Here's a new, uhh, Application/Library/Thing. I don't really know what to call it, but as I was making I thought What if I could make a short game in it with a really nice menu? I spent a while on it and I don't know how to present it really, but an example of what sports players and animals can do for you if put in a small window. But yeah, the .gam is tgf and the .exe is mmf2, if that makes any sense.

* Minutes of fun
* Hi Res Graphics
* Impress your neighbors
* What the heck is it?
* One track You have to start yourself in the menu
* Directions in a text file.

So, here's a manual for KNP. Good times.

Great scot! Well, if it isn't time for yet another Themed Trainwreck Somedays! I do believe it will be happening the thirteenth of October from 4 to 6pm (GMT -7)!

Now, you're probably wondering what all this is about, then? Well I believe this is what they refer to as a "game jam," for you see, it is about making games! Oh, but you shouldn't just be making any old game! Oh, no no no no! That would be absent-minded! No, you must create a game that suits the theme, and that theme is... let's see here... *ahem* "Inventions/Technology!"

Perhaps now you are looking for some inspiration? Have you taken a look at any of Leonardo da Vinci's many inventions? How about Rube Goldberg's contraptions, now? Maybe you should take a look around the house? I assure you, there is inspiration to be found in all sorts of places!

You don't need to be a rocket scientist in order to make games! Why not try Klik & Play on for size? Special instructions on usage are supplied here, and if you find the tool unwieldy to use, try selecting a different game-making apparatus off of this shelf, here? Oh, and let's not forget that do-hickey they refer to as "chat"! They say it's the best thing since the invention of the telephone!

Once you are finished, you may submit your wondrous inventions by clicking here with your computer mouse! Oh, speaking of, that mouse of yours has all kinds of bells and whistles in it! You know, balls and dials and all sorts of spinning things! They say that in the future, computer mice will even be powered by lasers! Brilliant, I say!

(OOC: Thought I'd try something a little bit different this time. Previous TTS events sort of dictated the game genre, but this time the focus is more thematic. Still, I suppose you could use the theme as the basis of your game's genre and create something sort of like "The Incredible Machine". That's up to you. The "Technology" portion of the theme is sort of a catch-all for people who might have difficulty coming up with something that fits "Inventions".)

I didn't make it for this event but it fits really well. I probably wouldn't finish it the way I originally planned by 17th so I did what I did there.

This is a game about cooking as you can tell. In rpg maker 2003. Not bad.
