We had 17 games made for this year's Zero Hour Game Jam! #0hGameJam is a fun event where you make a game during the hour that gets rolled back for Daylight Savings. Yes, from 1am to 1am! 🕐😅 A bunch of us were up in the middle of the night and so many great games got made. (Even a tabletop game!🎲) Check them all out over on @itchio! https://itch.io/jam/pigsquad0hgamejam2024/entries

I did the Zero Hour Game Jam this weekend with @PIGSquad. OMG what a bunch of silly fun. Basically you make a game in the hour that gets rolled back for Daylight Savings. You start at 1am, then jam for an hour until the clocks roll back to 1am. So... zero hours. We do a big thing in the @PIGSquad Discord where everyone jams together and it's so much fun. I made a silly clicker game, but I love how it came out. https://mboffin.itch.io/dylans-short-attention-span

If you're interested in seeing how the sausage is made, tune in to the PIGSquad Discord (http://discord.gg/pigsquad) at 1 PM Pacific on Monday, October 16.
