Game Jam - Tumblr Posts
So Nordic Game Jam is now over and I worked with a bunch of talented, lovely people to make a game where you gather a band in purgatory in order to convince Saint Peter to let you into heaven.
Get it here! Yes, for free. (disclaimer: if you end up in hell, it's game over.) https://olmo.itch.io/die-beat-repeat
Last weekend I was at Nordic Game Jam in Copenhagen! Approx 500 people came from all over the world and made game prototypes in just x48 hours. My team made a co-op arena game about using mirrors to concentrate UV beams to charge up an objective-marker bulb. Oh and by the way, the arena is being attacked by energy vampires, flying decapitated Frankenstein-monster heads and swarms of blood bats! Want to try it out yourself? Or with a friend? Try it out here:

Made for Ludum Dare 32 Jam
Here’s a game I’ve been working on all weekend for the Ludum Dare 72 hour game jam challenge. I decided to stick with what I know and make a visual novel. I’m better at art than programming. Though Ren’py is pretty easy to use.
I had fun making even though it was frustrating at times. Go check it out.
Now that I’ve actually made a visual novel with my own art I want to make more. Ones that I can spend more than just a weekend on so it actually comes out much better.
Since the Lightkeeper Update is out now, I can go back to focusing on this game jam entry 🫡💖
(And yes, I'm putting their canon dresses on the cover hehehe)
Things are getting fun 🙂💖💖
A reminder that NaNoRenO 2022 starts in just over 4 days, on March 1st!
What is NaNoRenO?
NaNoRenO is an annual month-long game jam in which developers are challenged to make a visual novel from start to finish. It was originally inspired by the more famous NaNoWriMo (National Novelist Writer’s Month, which takes place in November). There’re no restrictions on content or genre*. All visual novels submitted for NaNoRenO must have been made exclusively in the month of March.
See a list of previously released NaNoRenO games here! Previous itch jam pages: 2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020+ | 2021
This year’s NaNoRenO illustration is by Cele.
The most recent phrasing of the NaNoRenO rules:
Takes place during the month of March.
Final visual novel must be finished on or before April first. The jam deadline is slightly longer to allow for internet outages or other emergencies that prevent you from uploading your finished visual novel.
You can only begin actual production of your game in March.
Allowed before NaNoRenO begins:
Brainstorming
Plot Outlining
Sketches that do not lead to direct production of assets
Team Building
Not Allowed until NaNoRenO begins:
Sketches of sprites, CGs, backgrounds, or anything else that leads to production of assets
Writing or coding any portion of the game
Production of assets to be used in the game
Use of Creative Commons material is okay.
There are no “winners” here. Everyone who manages to release their game has completed NaNoRenO!
You may release a buggy version of your game by the deadline and fix it up later or release a demo for NaNoRenO.
While other game elements may be present, the final piece should be largely identified as a “visual novel.”

some animations I did for a yet unreleased project called Dead-Cold Brew, A story of a coffee shop owner that overworked themself to death and haunts their own coffee shop
My buddy Blake and I made a game! In Bobby Gets a B, you tape together scale models out of random household objects to help Bobby with his homework.
It is short, sweet, and very silly. You can play it for free in your browser on itch.io!
