I entered #TAGJam9, even though I know I am ineligible to win (since i've already hosted twice in the past 12 months) and decided to base my entry on a piece of operating systems work i'd done recently. So, without further delay I will introduce you to: Threads. Episode 1: "#F*ckPintOS" Try it out here using the Unity Web Player LINK Let me know what you think! If you want to try out the other games created for #TAGJam9 then you should check out the arbitrary gamejam subreddit! /r/TheArbitraryGamejam ~Charles

Recently, someone approached me about my Dark Cloud fan project asking for information on its progress so I decided to make this video so that anyone who's interested can get up to speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZNoYskEoJk I haven't touched the project in a long time, but if there are a few people who want to see this happen (Dark Cloud was a really underrated game, so there aren't that many fans) i'll pick it up again. Just leave a comment below if you're interested. ~Tick

Hi guys, In an interesting twist, the current TAG host has decided to let you guys help him build a pool of words to draw the themes from. Since this is the first TAG that's taking advantage of our subreddit, we're looking for your help building up comments and visitation. So go and post your theme suggestions for #TagJam9 here: http://www.reddit.com/r/TheArbitraryGamejam/comments/2130pa/the_arbitrary_gamejam_9_suggest_themes/ See you all soon! ~Tick

Hey guys Just letting everyone know that TAG The Arbitrary Gamejam now has a dedicated subreddit, /r/TheArbitraryGamejam The next host, Daniel Bauman aka /u/dopplex , is considering using the subreddit in some way for submissions to #TAGJam9 . But we're also hoping that everyone will use the subreddit to share game development goodness, tools and tricks you might find useful for TAG and other gamejams.  The subreddit is brand new and rough around the edges, so head on over and feel free to share the game development love. If you are a previous host of The Arbitrary Gamejam and wish to become a moderator of this subreddit, let me know your reddit username either in the comments below or if perhaps you wish to be a little more discrete, by emailing me at TickTakashi@TheArbitraryGamejam.com For more information on #TAGJam9 , check out dopplex's site: http://www.dopplex.net/TAG9/ That's all for now, hope to see you all in April for #TAGJam9 ! ~Tick

All I can say is wow, this TAG is super close. I'll preface this by saying that all the games submitted were enjoyable, even the incomplete ones were fun to play, but I've got to choose a winner, so here we go. There were three games that really stood out, for a number of reasons. I'm going to give some of my thoughts and opinions on each game, then at the end i'll announce the winner. - - - Packer  Durga Prasad & Nithin Reddy The first game to be submitted to the jam makes it into the final three for several reasons. The first and foremost being that, without reading the description given by Mr. Prasad, I knew exactly what sort of personal moment the game was aiming to get across. If you haven't played it, go and play it now (without reading the description in Mr. Prasad) and see if you can identify it too. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwcgKCBJ8C8cb1lpaXQzaG52UE0/edit ... Done? I was totally serious about you going to play that gam...
