Theme: Choose your path!

This version is not ranked. If you want your game to be ranked, here is the link to a ranked version: https://itch.io/jam/practice-jam-3-ranked-version

This game jam, a continuation of our practice series, is a non-competitive jam that is meant to help encourage developers to practice their game-making skills.  Sometimes having an external deadline can help motivate us to practice and take action.  Consider this jam your opportunity to sharpen your game development skills, with no pressure.

Here is a good article to learn more about what a jam is and how to participate: https://intogames.org/news/game-jams-101-core-games/

The theme will be announced at the start date.  Feel free to use any development tool you would like. 

If you are going to submit a game, please keep it safe for work.

I think one of the problems aspiring developers face, especially if they have been doing a bunch of tutorials, is that they never actually put what they've learned to use.  My goal is to help provide an opportunity to practice the skills that you've learned.  All skill levels are welcome. It's ok if you don't finish your game, or even if you don't feel comfortable sharing your game with us here on Itch.io.  You can still follow along with the themes and work on a project on your own.  Although, at some point it is good to share and get feedback from others on your game. Feel free to join in if you'd like!

We have a Discord if you want to join that to chat with others outside of the Itch.io forums: https://discord.gg/JkdqgE7B Also, if you want to make sure that you get feedback on your game, you can post a request message in the forum for comments/feedback, or send me a message.  I am pretty busy and might not get back to you right away, but I will do my best to get to everyone who wants feedback.
