#1 Post by Garry » Wed Mar 29, 2023 1:29 pm

Text Adventure Literacy Jam 2023 is now live! Submissions open on 12 April 2023, voting opens on 1 June 2023 and results are announced on 1 July 2023. See the jam home page for full details.

What's this all about?

This is the third annual Text Adventure Literacy Jam. The aim is to write a text adventure that is suitable for players with little or no prior experience of playing text adventures. The game must include an in-game tutorial. See the jam home page for full details.

There are some great prizes and we are seeking more prize donations.

So, what are you waiting for? Don't sit on your butt thinking "This is a good idea". Start writing your game NOW! We want to make this the biggest and best Text Adventure Literacy Jam yet. See the jam home page for full details. Or did I say that already? :lol:

That's exactly what I was thinking about.
It's like a big appetizing cake that you want to swallow in one bite, knowing very well that once swallowed the digestion may be difficult: hours of work, stress, cogitation and headache with Deepl... but it's so appealing!

The competition is now underway. We're one week in and you still have six weeks left to write that game. There's currently about US$350 in cash prizes, so why wouldn't you want to join in the fun? Retro games are welcome.

Oh, and we also have a Discord server. Click here to have a chat, ask questions or contact the organisers: https://discord.gg/57uuPGrCsR
