Make something in response to a trainwreck you like!

That's the only rule. Here are some possibilities:

  • Make an unofficial sequel!
  • Expand something minor in the original into its own thing!
  • Recreate a game as best you can, but change one important thing!
  • Maybe there's a couple of games you really like. Mash them together!
  • If something was made with tools/techniques/methods/styles/etc. that you haven't tried, try them!
  • Make it your own! Reinterpret a game doing the things you're best at!
  • Make something that isn't a game! Make a zine, comic, video, song, story, poem or anything else you can think of!

The dates are also just a suggestion. Spend the whole month, or a single hour, or spend the rest of your life on it. Make multiple things, if that's fun!

If you're having trouble finding inspiration, try out some random games!

What timing! I was just

What timing! I was just brainstorming ideas about porting SpindleyQ's "Air/Sea Giraffe" to the Super Nintendo! Except it's probably going to end up being a totally different game.

I modified the original game to prototype having the original assets at the SNES resolution. I feel like if I do port the original version I might need to scale the graphics down a tad.

it's maybe not really a trainwreck in the sense that it's fairly polished and not on this site, but maybe i'll do something based off FJORDS by kyle reimergartin

Lovely idea. Strangely, I

Lovely idea. Strangely, I thought about posting a sequels jam here a couple of days ago that would have overlapped with this conceptually a fair bit. I think I've done about 20 of these kinds of tributes before, so I'll aim to consider approaches I haven't attempted and people I haven't appreciated [in this way].

A Massive Expansion of the 2006 Version!

Three years ago when I first submitted Escape from the Crazy Place to Glorious Trainwrecks I promised to return with an updated TWINE edition of the game. The TWINE version was originally intended to be a trimmed-down, more polished version of the 2006 TADS 2 version, but myself and my friends Loz Etheridge and Mark Bailey got a bit carried away, and somehow or other the 2017 version ended up being two-and-a-half times the size of the original. The game will continue to expand as I intend never to stop adding to it.

Escape from the Crazy Place - Expanded TWINE Version!

Three years ago when I originally submitted Escape from the Crazy Place to Glorious Trainwrecks, I promised that I would return with an all-new TWINE version of the game.

The TWINE version was originally intended to be a trimmed-down, more polished version of the 2006 TADS 2 version, but myself and my friends Loz Etheridge and Mark Bailey got a bit carried away, and somehow or other the 2017 version ended up being two-and-a-half times the size of the original. The game will continue to expand as I intend never to stop adding to it.
