I try making games, I'm not very good at it. You can find all my creations at https://dungeon.itch.io/

I run @mechjam.com

DJ sometimes on @radiodyfi.bsky.social

I also like film, art, music and other cool stuff
I have released my #CosmicHorrorsJam IV entry Hagrode III. Quite happy with the finished project, I’ve wanted to release a GameBoy game for a long time. Features music by CDplaya. Made in the brilliant #GBStudio!

I posted this on the Itch #gamejam community board about the increasing game jam spam submission epidemic. I'm curious to hear other game jam hosts and participants thoughts on how they deal with these spam submissions.

The Game Jam Spam Epidemic - Game Jams
I hope this board is the right place for this, I know it's more of an open topic but it is related to game jams. I am an independent host of many game jams, over the years I have seen my fair share of

I used to draw quite a lot of Dwarf Fortress inspired art. I've been playing it a lot lately so decided to draw some of the people of my fort Dorenzanor.

I created this for the latest "Not a Game Jam" fragments from a manual to a game that doesn't exist. Quite a lot of work went into this and I'm surprised I achieved it all in only a few hours. dungeon.itch.io/isadov-clear...
