Strawberry Jam 8 has started! [Game Jam]
a year ago
Since I try to point out opportunities to create TF-themed games, I'd be remiss to not tell you all about 🍓Strawberry Jam! It's a casual game jam running throughout the month of February for making "horny" games.
What "horny" means is entirely up to you though, sexual content is not required if that's not the sort of game you'd like to make for it. (It's still 100% allowed if that's what you'd like to make, of course!)
If you're interested in joining a team, there's plenty of that still happening in the discord server that's linked on the jam's page, and if you're interested in collaborating, feel free to reach out! (...though I'll likely be more busy than I'd like this month.)

Now to paste the ending of my journal on 2022's TF Game Jam:
If you've never made a game before, here are a variety of resources that you could consider learning, all of which are free and well-suited to people who have never programmed before!
For text-based stuff, I really like Twine, which is very similar to using FurAffinity’s text formatting tools to add italics or links to comments.
Another TF artist made what is, in my option, the single best tutorial for writing interactive stories in Twine: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/36277631/
From just the first tutorial you can make a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style story, and with all of them combined, you can start making fairly complex games and stories!
Bitsy is similar to RPGMaker in a lot of ways, but stripped down to just the bare essentials for telling a story. It's incredibly restrictive, especially in terms of art though. It's used to make games like this: https://dreamingamaris.itch.io/get-.....-save-princess, and doesn't require --or support-- coding!
GB Studio is a tool for making simple games that run on real GameBoy and GameBoy Color hardware! It's pretty well put together and easy to use with the help of a tutorial or two.
Renpy is specifically for visual novels, but it definitely does those well!
(You could also make a tabletop game, or use something out of the ordinary like PowerPoint!)
