"If we could live on hopes and wishes, make movies at the speed of thought, all the movies that could have been, all the dreams that I could spin..." This is a game jam about games that do not exist or currently do not exist. I strongly advise AGAINST making a work for this jam in a computer game engine. Writing will probably be the easiest way to express one's concept but images could also suffice. Take note that text files may not display properly in some operating systems, so consider a more robust alternative. This game jam is heavily inspired by The works of Jorge Luis Borges and Stanisław Lem, so feel free to peruse their fictions. Suzanne Treister has also made some beautiful fictional video game stills. https://www.suzannetreister.net/Ampages/Amenu.html Here are some examples of a format one could create a fictional game in. It is by no means exhaustive and is not meant to be restrictive. Think of it merely as a starting point for your ideas. A Design Document A Review Artistic Mockups A Frame Story Thank you to all who may hypothetically participate in this jam.

Hey there, GT fam! It's time for the 2020 Glorious Trainwrecks Family Reunion!!! HOW DO I DO THIS? Maybe there's a game you've checked out and enjoyed something about it, but you just never had the chance to post a comment. This is your golden opportunity (even if it already has a comment or two, or a few). It's all about showing appreciation for someone's effort, energy, and the willingness to put somethin' out there. WHERE DO I FIND THEM? WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THIS? Oh... And did I mention that you'll be sampling a fantastic game, tool, or toy developed by someone right here in the Glorious Trainwrecks community? Hell yeah! They made it for you to enjoy. Isn't that cool? So hop to it! In the words of our founder, SpindleyQ, "Glorious Trainwrecks has always been about being a comfortable place where people are kind to each other." Let's come together as a virtual family and let the world know just how kickass the contributors and guests of Glorious Trainwrecks can be. |
