Obviously Itch is game focused (despite the ol' comic tab still existing), but have the writers and musicians of Itch ever tried organizing a writing or music jam? Bit biased since I'm a writer but I think it'd be fun.
I don’t know much about writing jams, but music jams are definitely a thing! You might have already seen them, but on the jam page right now, I saw the friendly music jam getting ready to start up and the music composer jam! I’m pretty sure the OST Composing Jam is another recurring one, but I couldn’t immediately find the link.
I’m definitely forgetting others, and I wish I knew of writing jams…I’m sure they happen, but definitely would be cool to see someone start one if they don’t! Would it be like a jam where everyone makes a short story or a poem in a weekend based on a theme, and then maybe you could compile them up in an anthology at the end or something? Honestly, that would be so sick
i'm personally a pretty competitive person, so i would join a ranked jam, even without prizes, just to have the satisfaction of trying to be the number 1 (not as it ever happened tho).
The sad of starting a new jam tho is that as no one knows you, your jam probably won't have more than 3 submissions (if it end up having submissions at all btw). A couple of people will join your jam, but only a few will submit on it... sad
