I tried, but after reading a couple chapters to my kid he still couldn't keep track of all the characters and who they were and eventually told me he wasn't that into it...

Has any clever person out there figured out a way to have a better filter on itch . io's game jams? I would like to search for a specific length (or at least greater than x and less than y) of time. I'd also like to be able to look at jams that are farther than two months out so I can plan.

When my son was an infant I spent many nights trying to rock him to sleep. Across from the rocker hung a string of paper robots. I stared at those robots for so long that I named them and gave them backstories. Now, about ten years later, I've made a video game that stars those robots.
