Hello there! The GBJam is quite a ways out, but I wanted to get the ball rolling early to keep up some creative momentum from a previous Game Jam.

I released a “1st Person Grid-based Dungeon Crawler RPG” (https://llamakazi.itch.io/synergy-abyss) for the “Fxck Capitalism Jam” (/jam/fuck-capitalism-jam-2026), and the feedback was exceptionally encouraging!

However, working mostly solo was rather time-consuming, so hopefully I can wrangle a team this time around to help spread out the cognitive & creative load (so to speak)

My strengths mainly lie in Programming & Game Design, but I also dabble in Writing, Art, & Audio. I also have experience leading a team, if you want to simply join up and not really worry about that aspect at all.

I also highly recommend GB Studio, since by it’s very nature it EASILY meets all of the requirements for this Game Jam. The restrictions imposed by the hardware do indeed breed a bit of creativity, after all!

The emulator that GB Studio employs for Web builds plays quite easily on a browser (instant play on itch.io is a huge barrier for most players); it can also export GB ROMs that play on any GB emulator; AND we have the option of going into “Super Game Boy Mode” with “GodotBoy” (more info here: https://greenf0x.itch.io/godotboy-template)

Anyhoo, leave a comment if you’re interested, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!

Synergy Abyss looks very cool!

I'd be very interested in teaming up! I'm primarily a writer (short stories/novels) but I've been tinkering more and more with game design, though primarily for physical games (TTRPG Zine, card game). I'd love to join a team, get some experience, and help out as much as I can!

Heya, just got back from some days off; thank you for the kind words on the game! :)

Definitely could use more writing and game design expertise, those alone can really make or break an audience for something like this!

The last time I had a team for one of these, making a “Fit for purpose” Discord channel was the best way to stay organized. Would y’all be alright with joining something like that? I can get it set up fairly quickly!

Yeah, that sounds perfect to me!

Hey I am an inspiring game developer and this will be my first game jam too. I am still making my first game called star fall so if you are interested I would like to work with you

Llamakazi52 days ago

Heya! All are welcome to contribute in their own way, industry veterans and newcomers alike!

Like I mentioned in the other reply, I’ll be setting up a Discord Channel and we can discuss ideas and everyone’s experience there (and how folks would like to contribute)

Setting up the Channel in a moment! I know the actual jam is still a long way off, but we can start getting some pre-jam intentions cleared up in a dedicated space (if y’all are down, of course)

Okay, here we go! https://discord.gg/cdvuxX2WF

Come on in and say hi!

We’ve got plenty of time until the Jam starts… so consider this like a bookmark (or a save point) for this team in the near future.

Hi Llamakazi!

If you need chiptune, 8-bit music, I'd love to write some for your project.

Llamakazi49 days ago

Heya! More music is always a good idea; come on in!

The Discord invite is the same as above: https://discord.gg/cdvuxX2WF

BTW for the GB vibe: if you’re familiar with GB Studio at all, it’s even got a built-in tool for making music (and sound effects) at https://www.gbstudio.dev/music/

Bump as we get closer to the official start date!

We’ve got a few people now, but it would be lovely if there’s a pixel artist out there looking for a team! (and would like to join our merry band of misfits, of course)

Hello there Llamakazi, I'm somewhat of an intermediate game dev, i can do some programming, game design, a bit of music but I'm most suited in pixel art, though my style might not be all that special, could I join too!

Llamakazi16 days ago

Heya Jakebobcube; I was out for a few days, just saw your message! We’d be happy to have you!

Come on in here (https://discord.gg/cdvuxX2WF) and feel free to introduce yourself =)

Hi! I'm a sound designer focusing entirely on SFX (no music). This will be my second game jam so I'm still somewhat new to this space but if you're looking for some 8bit style sound effects I'd love to join!
