Last but not least is J4CK-1N, B4RK4D4! by @soloistventure.bsky.social! An incredibly mechanically-satisfying cyberpunk hacking game! Another incredibly simple game to pick up and play. It's also compatible with Cy_borg, making it even more awesome! soloistventure.itch.io/mini-solo-cy...

Next we got Leylines by @deepdark.games! You play as relic hunters trying to gather items to stop a rising threat. The absolutely sweet thing about this game is that it takes that premise and turns it into a very ingenious world building game using drawn leylines! deep-dark-games.itch.io/leylines

It's not perfect at all! At least that's what my brain keeps telling. But hey, that's totally okay, I still made a thing that I really like and that's cool! So if you are looking for an imperfect game about an ant trying to fill an art gallery with art (totally no deeper meaning to that). 2/3

Perfectionism has been a thing that has always haunted me as an artist. It has prevented me from creating so many things purely out of the fear of failure. It's been a thing i've been battling to overcome as of late and that's why I love my One Page #ttrpg game jam submission so much. 1/3
A one page TTRPG called Ant Gallery. The center of the page is filled with different shapes or frames that the player will fill in.

The bottom of the page has three text blocks. One describing what is going on within the game. Another how to play the game and the last a set of tables to roll on to become inspired.

The top of the page the title Ant Gallery and both sides of the page has curtains.

I appreciate the words! I really wanted to make a low-stakes "just create something" game and i'm glad it's coming off that way. The more people making things the better!

I adore this little game, not just because ANTS but also because it's such a clever way around many adults' fear of "art." You're creating tiny pieces of art -- for ANTS! -- so that already sets the bar low (haha). Not that ants don't deserve great art. ant art ant art ant art ant art 🐜🖼️🐜🖼️🐜🖼️🐜🖼️
