2024 Seltani Slow Jam

Competitions
1

Based on strong interest from the members of the Seattle / Tacoma IF group, this month we’re kicking off a Seltani game jam, open to everyone.

If you choose to participate, you’ll have two months to create your own Age in Seltani. We’ll have a check-in with participants on February 18th to discuss progress, solve problems together, and share encouragement. You’re welcome to share your finished work with the group at the Seattle / Tacoma IF group meeting in mid-March.

Here are the rules:

  1. Make one small, self-contained Age. Aim for a playtime of around 15-30 minutes (you can go bigger if you feel especially motivated).
  2. Incorporate semi-fantastical scenery, mechanical puzzles, steampunk influences, or whatever else excites you about working with Seltani.
  3. If your Age has elements that some people might not enjoy, add a content note summarizing those elements at the beginning.
  4. Be cool and try not to break anything on the server.
