Wouldn’t this be the coolest. DGC’s own Game Jam, with a podcast episode dedicated to the results.

Do you think we could get enough people to pledge joining it, so that scheduling it wouldn’t be too much of a risk, so to speak?

That’s a very interesting idea! We’ve covered DOS Game Jam in an earlier episode, but hosting our own would take things to a whole new level.

We’ve scheduled all the games for 2026 already though, so perhaps this is something we could do in 2027?

It’s something I would be totally in to!
I am absolutely terrible at finishing any project, but experience with the custom Doom levels has shown if there are people counting on me I can pull my finger out.

I think it’s a great idea!

2027 would give me a nice amount of time to learn some necessary skills! ^_^

I’ve done a few game jams, I’d definitely participate in a DOS one.

I’d be interested, though it’d help to have some parameters. Could it be DOS-inspired constraints but not strictly limited to DOS?

Could tools like Adventure Game Studio count?

Can folks work together?

Can old projects be grandfathered in, such as if they get significant attention during the month?

Is use of AI OK? (Perhaps for assets, if labeled as such?)

QBasic and/or Turbo Pascal would be great for this.
