It was last year, and yea it wasn't all that popular, so this year I wanna make sure people know it's happening, set up a date for the start, and question how long the time period should be

I love both of those ideas. To elaborate on my suggested theme of "Risk VS Reward" not only does it allow for "middle of the pack" protagonists, it's also fits very well with casinos and betting themed games, which are surprisingly popular settings for spanking fiction. If we went with the "Personality Change" theme, I would love to play a game where the protagonist gets a D&D style relic of "Alignment Inversion" and proceeds to reek chaos on their respective setting by "flipping" people in various ways such as, Pure to Horny, Spineless to Bully, Kind to Cruel, Tyrant to Hyper-Submissive, Uncaring to Caretaker, Masochist to Sadist, VICE TO VERSA lol, ect.

I had a similar idea for the previous Game Jam in which the theme was Mistaken identity/Doppelganger. Inversion of behavior.

Basically, a fairy made a deal with the protagonist on their 17th birthday which gave them a charmed life for a year (popular at school, lots of friends,great grades, can't do nothing wrong in the household, thus no spankings for a year). The payment, unknown to them, was that fairy was using their likeness and identity as a magical disguise outside of the city to do all sorts of bad things. Tricking and defrauding people, stealing, vandalism and just being mean in general. The story starts on the 18th birthday, when the whole thing crashes down and the protagonist goes on a quest to right some wrongs, clean their name and find the fairy. Lots of spanking ensues.

You could make it two missions, a fairy being as mean as possible during that year (although leave it optional to the player how mean and criminal the fairy is) then reversal when the protagonist now needs to clean up the mess the fairy made. To the outside observers, it would look like the protagonist completely changed (from goody two shoes to mean to goody two shoes again). Also, the fairy could occasionally bite more than they could chew with their bad behavior and end up getting spanked themselves, although that part of playthrough should have a lot of other people getting spanked due to fairy's actions, thus holding a grudge towards the protagonist.

Unfortunately, I got too ambitious and never finished that game.

Anyway, my suggestions for this year:
Game jam starts on the 1st of March and ends up on the 1st of June.

Themes I suggest to be voted on:

Isekai - a spankophile gets transferred to their favorite game or piece of media. Things are not as they imagined. Piece of media can be anything that has a spanking as accepted punishment, even "The little match girl" has a father who spanks her at home.And it allows for some inside-jokes, like Spanquest being a computer game in "Birthday Cards". Attempts at cheating by trying to play future events lead to worse spanking. If it is another game they are isekaied to, then there is a good chance they meet a protagonist of that game who doesn't like them.

Damage reduction/ cleaning up -the protagonist is a friend with absolute madlad who gets them in trouble. They are in a rush to either prevent damage or fix what the silly friend did. Protagonist gets spanked often and gets revenge on the friend later.

A legendary school day - a school day that will stay in living memory for generations (as "The day {Protagonist}painted the whole school green" or "Great water-balloon fight of 1956" or some other incident). Everybody gets punished but they all agree it was worth it.

i think we can also leave the theme up to devs, whatever they want.
personally i would suggest themes like fantasy or nobility, role reversal sounds fun too

[livingfailure]

A couple themes that I think could be fun :


- Inhumanity/monsters
- Cyberpunk
- Trial/Challenge/Rite of passage

Just a thought, this year is the 50th Anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons. Would make for a fun theme with plenty of room for interpretation by individual devs.

Tbh I don't really like the first idea. I always loved the fact that we get a few games that are based on the same idea but have completely different concepts. It shows the variety of spanking as a whole in my opinion. But I see the point that different people like different topics and some people will always be disappointed by the chosen topic.

That's why, I like the idea with the themes. Give the developers a theme like pirates, school, space, dungeons&dragongs, vampires etc. etc... and within that topic, the devs are free to choose whether they wanna do a role reversal, domestic discipline, spanking for fun or whatever.

[Breakfire]

In a blatant attempt to butter up some game devs to throw their hats in the ring, I think we should ask a bunch of them what kind of spanking games they'd be interested in making or ideas they'd have then tell them to come here so we can encourage them to go through with it and make it.

So, I'm a bit new to this. What is a game jam?
