  1. 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!

  2. The Global Game Jam is an event where participants create their own games based on a theme that the GGJ Organization chooses. Participants have one week to work on their game and submit it. in 2026, Hackforgers submitted a record breaking 12 games!

    Here are the awesome and super cool games all the participants at Hackforge made for the 2026 Mask theme globalgamejam.org/group/31077/

  5. I did this weekend, and one of my teammates used Procreate. He shared palette swatches which I could not open in @GIMP ...

    ...I took that as a personal challenge. :)

    Afterwards I reviewed the files (zipped JSON) and few others I found online, and submitted a merge request to add initial support.

  7. I participated in the #globalgamejam with the theme "Mask". I found a great team that wanted to create a #horror game. I did the mask #pixelart and like how it turned out. 😊

    It's also available on itch if you want to check it out: thomas3913.itch.io/dark-decisi

  9. J'ai survécu à ma première game jam ce week-end !
    Avec une excellente équipe de neuf (1 game designer, 3 dev, 4 artistes et 1 sound designer) on a créé en 48h le jeu ALMANIMASHI, un puzzle game où on doit récupérer des âmes égarées

    J'ai fait la DA d'un des 4 univers du jeu (celui en noir et blanc) et les pages d'accueil, crédits etc, je vous mettrai le lien quand les jeux de la jam seront en ligne
    C'était gé-nial, on remet ça l'année prochaine ?

  12. We finished Trash Bandits! It’s playable and even kinda fun. I’ll post a web playable link tomorrow after I write up some instructions for it.

    A lot of the Minneapolis folks made games that were clearly about the current occupation. Our team had discussed it briefly, but ultimately went with something a bit easier to squeeze into 8 bits.

    Photo attached is our team minus the 4th member that worked from home the final day.

  25. 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.

  27. 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).

  29. It's #globalgamejam and I learn (again) that Unity hates dwm :( back to KDE I go but now I learn Unity also hates alt-tabbing!? Fun to see Unity's familiar face again even if these problems are also a little too familiar.

  32. I made a blog post on itch.io. For the 2023 Global Game Jam, I developed a clicker game named Build Back Better. In the game, you have to collect resources and make upgrades to help the world tree grow.

    Now I am working on an update for the game and the name is going to be Rebuild Back Better. The game will contain new graphics, longer gameplay, and enemies!
