this was really fun! I’d love to have a repeat performance, or at least one that happens sooner than 2030

Autumn and I are trying to bring back other old jams with different constraints, for funsies :stuck_out_tongue:
But if you want to try another 500-word jam, there’s always the Partim500 (in French) happening in December :wink: (they also have a theme)

Thanks for organizing this! I think I mentioned elsewhere I meant to participate in the first Twiny Jam but did not. So 8 years was a long time to wait. But it was worth it–I was able to throw out stuff that’d gone in and out of my mind for a bit.

I’d love to see Neo Neo Twiny Jam next year, especially for all those people who maybe weren’t able to push an idea through, or those who maybe will come up with an idea on July 6th or whenever.
