Last time the theme was mistaken identity. The deadline was one month, but not many people finished the game they started.

Is there a chance to enjoy the games made, if you're not a developer, just a game player?

Of course, normally all games are posted in the video game thread, free and available for everyone

So, two months sounds good! Should we start to advertise it now, or should we wait? If we start now them I'm willing to start setting things up

yea most of the game jams they do on here provide amazing games, and its all free.
One of the most notable, most popular games that was made via game jam was Life lessons.

Themes I seen within the comments. Theres a LOT of them lmao but i summed most of them up

1. Authority
2. Use some of the old themes (I am way to tired to find the old posts and list them)
3. 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.
4. Dungeons & Dragons theme for the 50th anniversary of DnD
5. Inhumanity/monsters
6. Cyberpunk
7. Trial/Challenge/Rite of passage
8. Fantasy/Nobility
9. Role Reversal

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Personality change
14. Risk vs Reward
15. Reluctant Spanker
16. SECONDARY THEME (kinda like a bonus on top of the main theme)
17. Corporation style (Company/Corp that spanks employees, or spanking service)
18. intermediary role (Player character is in a dominant position over some people, but submissive position over others.)

Of the listed options, I like number 4. Especially because the D&D theme lets developers pick and choose so much about their style and Size of game: Gritty vs Playful, One Village or a whole map, two characters or a whole cast...
I think we'd get very different entries, and a nicer variety of game.

Who ever wants to set it up, go ahead btw. I think we ready, just set up a poll and let everyone vote
