Although there are many great game jams out there, sometimes it is difficult for people to try them out because of:
We made Week Sauce for the people that want an easy, laid-back way to practice making games, get better at their craft, get out of a rut or a creative block, and try new things without fear.
Although doing the jam on your own is completely acceptable, you may want to join our communities in both itch.io and Discord.
itch.io provides you with a place to submit your games independent of platform choice, play each other's submissions, join the jam on a month by month basis following the announced theme, get in touch with other itch creators, and even charge for your finished games.
You can join our latest itch.io Week Sauce jam here:
Our Discord server is the best place to talk about your project, get help while developing it, find a team to collaborate with, vote on next month's theme, get announcements by the organizers, and hang out with others participating in the jam. Posting about your progress every day you work on your game is also a great way to keep yourself accountable and finish before the deadline. If you need support, whether technical or moral, our Discord is the place to go.

Since the schedule is so open, we use a monthly theme. Feel free to use it or ignore it; if you do more than one jam in the same month, you can use the same theme or try something different.
