Welcome to AOTK's 2nd spanking game jam!
It's that time of year again, time for another
spanking game jam! Last year's jam was a success, with a handful of new games and new creators introduced into the community and after some prodding from previous submitters, I have decided once again to host.

Theme: You Are The Villain
Some Options For Programs To Use:
Twine:
This is a good option for newbies to game making, it's just text and a little bit of Javascript if you wanna get fancy. Many tutorials exist to get you up and running as well and you can even include images!
Free.
RPG Maker:
Many games on this forum use this tool, and a lot of people are familiar with how to use it. There are a myriad of tutorials for this, including some that I made specifically for spanking games!
Not free.
Game Maker:
This one is a little more complicated, but is probably still within the possibility of use if you look at tutorials.
Free.
Unity:
If you're feeling brave, Unity is also a viable option. It is the only one on this list that you can create 3D games with, but it may be a little much unless you already know how to program.
Free.
TADS:
This is a program for creating text adventures like ZORK! It requires a degree of programming experience to use, but the possibilities are pretty open for what you can do with it.
Free.
Inform 7:
Inform 7 is similar to TADS in that it creates text adventures like ZORK, but the programming language that you use is plain English sentences. e.g. "The Living Room is a room." will create a room called The Living Room.
Free.
ADRIFT:
This is another text adventure creator, but this one works with a gui and does not require very much programming knowledge, if any.
Free.
Ren'Py:
Ren'Py is designed for making visual novels. Many popular visual novels that you've heard of were made with this program, including Doki-Doki Literature Club! Art would be a necessity for this, as well as a degree of programming experience.
Free.
