Are short stories allowed?

I’d love to participate in this but are short stories allowed? :0

Game jams challenge me to write, so I used to use twine but now I am burnt out on making narrative games with branching choices. I’d like to submit something similar to a kinetic VN: a twine game that is linear, and maybe with art added

Thanks~

Yes!!! They are allowed. :)

The exercise here is the ideation. You could literally have a text-only submission and it would be perfectly valid, and the technical part of the rating would be about how well you wrote. I.e. JRR Tolkien gets 5/5 on technical for his level of writing.

Oh my gosh I completely forgot to say thank you. I’m still dealing with this horrid situation with my wound but it’s getting better.

Even though the jam is in voting period, could I still get a late submission link? Or do I wait until after voting to submit? I more so want to submit to all these jams I told myself to commit to, because the ideas sound exciting! I have a perfect setting for this one.

Dang it 😭 the jam ended. Is it still possible to submit? I’ve submitted before to jams that were over, or do you plan to run this specific world building jam again?

(I am nearly healed from that horrible situation I mentioned and can write almost properly again)
