Jams are an awesome way to get the creative juices flowing and challenge yourself to create a game in a short amount of time. However, there are already a lot of amazing projects in progress, so it's important to celebrate those and give people the opportunity to focus on setting and achieving goals with their existing projects as well.
The festival has fairly relaxed rules, but in general, we would like all participants to keep these in mind:
Rules:
We kindly ask that you tag your game with the 'Amare' tag here on itch.io. This will ensure people who are watching the tag instead of just the jam page will see your game.

Our clever players unearthed so many secrets in the backgrounds of Save the Villainess' beta demo & trailer. I wonder if players will find as many - or more - in the public demo...?

The best thing about creating a horror game is that sometimes, you create a fully animated scene so unnerving that even you feel shives run down your spine...

While this account remains dormant, and you might not see much activity, I did want to call your attention to this upcoming game:
I had the chance to join the beta testing, and I loved it so much! I can definitely tell that a lot of love and effort has been put into this.
The art is gorgeous. I love, love games that look good - while simple and clean styles are fun, I prefer things that are more elaborate. If I'm going to be staring at a screen for a while, I like to have textures and colours and details.
The characters, in everything I've seen so far, are really unique and interesting. Similar enough to the stock characters of Otome Isekai stories, but they're distinct and have definitely made me curious to continue playing and find out what their deal is. (Ben, with his green bits of hair, is hiding so many secrets, he lives rent free in my head now).
The game itself is really easy to play; which was great for me, because I usually play things with very different mechanics (like CiV or Minecraft).
I've loved the humour and the darker tone of the overall game. I'm really hoping it has a lot of success!
We are so grateful to beta-testers like Dulcito for playing our beta demo and giving us feedback that makes our game better.
It makes our hearts very happy to know that so many testers loved our characters, came up with clever theories about the mysteries of our game, and found so many (though not all!) of the secrets in our beta demo.
We cannot wait to keep working on our game and creating a fully immersive animated visual novel that showcases our villainess' desperate struggle to survive and keep smiling in the face of certain death - as well as gorgeous but potentially murderous love interests.
Thank you so much for your support!
(And of course I have to end with a Ben gif. I know who YOUR best boy is, Dulcito!)
