Attention to detail! 👌🏼🤩 They even got LeChuck™’s hat just right, complete with the dead crow, the way Steve Purcell™ concieved him back in the day 😆☠️🐦‍⬛ @Rare @legendofmi @SeaOfThieves #MonkeyIsland #SeaOfThieves #LeChucksRevenge

Nothing from me this time around - I floundered a bit in week 1 and was never going to have time to get back into it in week 2. Some other year!

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

Well done everyone who has submitted an #AdvJam2023 game, so many I can't wait to play!

[carenalga @mapedorr]

We made it!!!! Un-be-lie-vable. Come and test our entry about a dev whose sit to do channel surfing in search for inspiration for its adventure jam game.

We made it with Popochiu 2

New Telwynium just dropped!
This is the first half of Book 3 - The Shadow of Spring. Made in two weeks for #advjam2023.
Link in the reply!

I've played about 15 hours of the amazing #TearsoftheKingdom and I've barely scratched the surface. Literally, I've not been down any of those scary chasms just yet.

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

@ChongoTweet Yes! Also "I'd love to chat but let's get under that tree and out of this rain." Lots of immersive little touches.

[George Broussard @georgebsocial]

Is it even an adventure game without a world map? I don't think so. For #advjam2023 I finished all my rooms and added a map. Tonight (day 7) I'm going to try to hook up all the puzzles for this area. #gamedev #IndieGameDev #indiegame #indiedev #indiegames #adventuregame #adventuregames #pointandclick

Finished* this one. You'll be sneaking around dark areas/behind bushes, it was tricky getting obvious light/dark areas with so few colours. #AdvJam2023

Wise and funny words from @danthat:

[formerly Size Five Games @danthat]

I wrote an article about people on Reddit and Twitter making games the wrong way round. It's full of SALIENT ADVICE about not doing your fucking 48-frame walljump animation first: https://t.co/8hbNe0BpDS

Less than a month 'til #AdvJam2023 kicks off!

[Adventure Jam #AdvJam2023 @adventurejam]

The jam page for #AdvJam2023 is now live!

We want to encourage creativity and we want you to create your own adventure with us. Text, point-and-click, everything in between.

We hope to see you all participate again! May 26 to June 9 - 8pm EST https://t.co/sseScxuikp

I chatted to @IndieGames_Muso about writing The Telwynium and she wrote this great piece about it!

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

I dabbled with @LearnAdventuron earlier this year and most likely will create something for TALP over the next couple of months. It's a delightful engine to work with.

[Adventuron @LearnAdventuron]

Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2023.

Create a text adventure suitable for absolute beginners in a development system/language of your choice.

Happy to pass the torch this year to Garry Francis.

@yakwaxlips I feel like I've never read a word against Oxenfree, but I found that really tedious.

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

@VillainyVS @eastwardgame @ChucklefishLTD @pixpilgames @joelcorelitz Yes, Earthbound / Mother 3 and Studio Ghibli films also a clear influence. The pixel art & animation is of a quite ridiculous quality. I'm not very far in and it still feels like a lengthy prologue, but I have high hopes for it once it gets going.

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

@craigderrick Slightly puzzled that they seem to have ignored the Mac version...couldn't that go on the USB floppy with the Windows version?

Sumatra: Fate of Yandi is currently 50% off on @GOG 🐯🌴🦧
Lost and alone after a terrible landslide, Yandi must find his way home in this old-school point and click adventure set deep in the Sumatran jungle!

It took me a long time to realize that very likely the #1 reason I loved adventure games growing up is not the puzzles or the dialogue, but the opportunity to spend time in cool places and bask in their vibe.

[Pilchard @pilchardgames]

@games_kini Thank you! Felt pixelly Betty needed a bit of a refresh. 😺
