THE THING THAT CAME TO THIS GAME JAM, an event about spooky, strange, and just-plain-weird things that come to a specific geographic location.

Your task: find a random city somewhere in the world using the random generator linked below, and then make a small, medium, or large game about an unforeseen - and life-altering - visitation.

Step 1: Find a Location
Use this random generator to select cities from across the world, and pick a city from the range of selections provided.

https://www.randomlists.com/random-world-cities

(You can also change the options in the generator to select only USA cities, as if that place wasn't already messed-up enough.)

Step 2: Bring Out The [fill in the blank here] Thing
Something strange - or at least unexpected - comes to this town. What is it? What changes? Who does it affect? Will that town ever be the same again? Is it a living thing? Is it an UNliving thing? Is it a concept? Is it an existential threat? Is it an ever-evolving, ever-changing thing itself?

Bonus points provided if your [fill in the blank here] Thing is in some way connected to the town's:

  • geographic location
  • climate
  • landmarks or notable features
  • people and culture

Step 3: Post Your Game Here
If it's not obvious in the game's title, let us know the location in the game description. Where will your game take us?

Keep your game kind to others, but feel free to make it spooky, spoopy, funny, incisive, terrifying, insightful, inciteful, and so on.

Welcome to GT’s sekret santa, the event where people make a list of things they like to see, and then those lists are randomly assigned to other participants to make a present for them.

Do you wanna participate? Here’s how it will go:

First, before DECEMBER 8TH you have to make and comment a list of things you would be interested in seeing in your present. Please keep in mind that your Santa may have a different skillset than what you’re expecting, and try to make your requests achievable by all sorts of people.

Then, after DECEMBER 8TH I’ll secretly send you a person’s list, and then you get to make them a present!! You’ll have a month to do it but it’s alright if you give your gift late, there’s no pressure.

--

Along with the list, you’ll also be sent a link to one of the discord servers for the event. The person who you’re making a game for and the person who is making your game will not be in the same server as you, so you can share how your progress is going with some peers.

Maybe you’re interested, but this seems like a lot of commitment. Well, there are other roles available to keep this event running smoothly. You can sign up to be a Sekret Fairey , which means you get access to all of the servers and you can see how everyone’s doing. Or you can sign up to be a Backup Santa , which means you can jump in if someone can’t finish their gift. These roles don’t submit lists, so they can join at any time.

as an aside, hello. I'm not the usual host but things happen, yanno?
