Making a game for #GGJ? Focus on "Juicy" mechanics over complex systems.
Concept: Bubble maze
The Player: A bubble.
The Plan: Use floaty, physics-based wind forces (WASD/Mouse)
The Logic: High bounciness + a dramatic particle effect "Pop!" on collision.
Fri: Create physics-based wind movement (WASD/Mouse).
Sat: Add hazards and "Pop" logic with big particle effects.
Sun: Finally polish bounciness and shaders.
The Goal: High juice, low complexity. Make every collision feel dramatic!

According to my profile, I've participated in 14 Global Game Jams, and 7 of those have produced playable NES games. :D Someone told me that must be a record... and I suppose it's probably true!
The rest included a game made in Obj-C/GL, one in Cocos2D, one with raw JS, one in Pico 8, and 3 in Unity.
edit: I suppose I should include the link: https://globalgamejam.org/users/slembcke

Over the weekend I took part in Global Game Jam with 3 friends and we made a game where you are a roll of masking tape.
You roll around trying to tape priceless artifacts back together, and your score is how much money you owe the museum.

Been thinking about taking the tooling I built for unnamed gas station (my #GGJ entry) and packaging it into a #godot plugin.
I want more people to make disco-like games (in reference to #DiscoElysium ) and this tooling would definitely make it a lot easier to do so.

My #GGJ entry! Might add more content later, as the thing feels pretty barren at the moment. It's damn fun to write for, but I'm exhausted after pulling an all-nighter for this thing.

Here is my submission for Global Game Jam 2026. This year, our team included a Voice Actor, so the game has a storyline and voicover -something new for me!
I hope you will try it out:

Here's the #VR experience I made for #GlobalGameJam! Trigger warning: political/intense + my way of processing the 😠stuff that has been happening recently.

Got a nice little game together for Global Game Jam 2026 - the first time in a while I've taken part. I'm still adding little bits and pieces, but it was basically finished three hours into the event.

CW: intense screams/whistles, cartoon brutality reflecting recent news
WIP so far on my #GlobalGameJam. It's a #VR experience where masked govt thug pigs have come to your neighborhood, harassing your neighbors. All you have is a smartphone w/ 2% battery left. Capture whatever you can to challenge the "official" narrative (lies).
#gamedev #ggj #ggj26 -
Enemies are now spawn all over the place. And we have a manager that manages that only one enemy shoots at a time.
-
All Masks are build
-
Masks only drop pieces and not every time.
-
Now with random masks
-
Now we can drop Masks
-
Now we have skins
-
Mirror the player so we can see the shooting direction.
-
Better killing and first view of inventory.
-
Now the can die^^
-
Now we can shoot with animation. Next would be die.
-
I finally starting jamming on my game for Global Game Jam after many hours of doomscrolling and trying to keep up with all that is happening.
Drew up some quick characters in OpenBrush. Masked pig thugs, and your neighbors.
-
Now the player is drawn and animated in Spine.
-
today's progress! I'm doing UI programming for a VN project and adapting one of Skolatzika's Ren'Py GUI templates~ Our artist/writer is a machine and already wrote over 6k words (on top of doing art 😱 )
