Hi, we are hoping to get this bundle launched first try. So, we are following up last week's email with a message here. The start date is this Friday, and we are down to 5 people. Please follow the link and approve the bundle. /b/3232/free-zine-week-2025
Hi, thanks so much for entering our jam. One of the few guidelines we have for the jam is that a foldable zine file be provided so that people can just print and are able to assemble your work into a booklet. If you can please provide a zine (booklet) formatted print file, we would love to keep your work in our jam/bundle. If you have any questions, feel free to comment here or email bethandangelmakegames@gmail.com.
Hi, I'm a prof layout and graphic designer so that's no problem, but what exactly do you mean by a zine/booklet formatted print file? The current file is formatted so anyone at home can used print as booklet function and print on A4 printers (or letter with slightly bigger margins I guess), fold in half and staple into an A5/Half-letter zine. Do you mean a no-staple folded zine format?
Great, and sorry for not being clear, I am happy to explain. No, I don't mean a no-staple zine format. We don't have access to software that does the print as booklet function. So, we do pdfs with the pages formatted to print as a double-sided print and in printing page order when we make zines. To keep it accessible for those that don't have access to book printing software.
We have some community copies of this zine which is a 1/2 page zine and the file ending in booklet is set up to just print and fold and staple. https://beth-and-angel-make-games.itch.io/the-taletellers-apprentice as a visual example might be able to articulate what I mean better.

Oops I either didn't get the email or missed it, but done!
That's understandable it's so easy for emails to get lost or missed. Thanks so much.
