We Need Play-Testers!

We're looking for playtesters for the closed pre-alpha of our indie psychological horror game The Infected Soul.

Quick heads-up: co-op mechanics aren't implemented yet in this build this pre-alpha is meant to showcase the atmosphere, core gameplay, and the direction we're heading in. We'd love your feedback on what's there so we can shape what's coming next.

You can DM me to join the playtest. You can also check out the game via the link below adding it to your wishlist would mean a lot to us.

Gurkistan Game Jam

Wir alle warten ja schon seit Jahren auf das Plankton Spiel. zum Überbrücken der Zeit, könnte man ja mal eine Game Jam machen, wo hoffentlich viele kleine tolle Plankton Games rauskommen. Das Thema ist logischerweise Plankton/Gurkistan und auch Zeo ist erlaubt. Spiele können hier vom bis zum 24. Mai eingereicht werden, die Plattform ist egal, solange das Game auf Windows Spielbar ist (gern auch im Browser). Es werden noch Jurymitglieder gesucht, einfach hier auf Reddit oder in der Kommentarsektion der Jam bewerben. Wenn jemand die Startseite mit etwas code verschönern könnte, kann mir auch gern schreiben.

Für alle, die es nicht wissen: eine Game jam ist keine Videospielmarmelade, sondern ein Wettbewerb, wer das bessere Spiel macht.

The Sam Jam (Game Jam)

https://preview.redd.it/tla7covd51vg1.png?width=630&format=png&auto=webp&s=325a391cc1cb13abc4f467b8c350a250ae8fe06e

Hello i am sam (the host) who is hosting a game jam! (yes the title is weird ik)

There's nothing really special about it (aside of it being a game jam) there's no cash prizes so that could be a letdown, the main point is to have fun! and your game may be featured in a video (on a small channel tho)

for more info find it here: https://itch.io/jam/the-sam-jam

Bezi Jam #9

Bezi Jam #9 is just around the corner.

We’ve got the $300 prize pool back, and we gave the jam page a bit of a visual refresh so it feels cleaner and more polished.

But honestly, the best part has been watching the community grow. Each jam brings in new people, new ideas, and a bunch of games that are just fun to see come together.

If you’ve been on the fence about joining, this is a good one to jump into.

Maybe you’ll be the one walking away with a win.

The jam is open to all and you don't have to stick to the theme.

Hope to see you all there: https://itch.io/jam/megamitts-mega-jam-14​
