organized by someone who does quite a few jams and a friend who ive joined jams with!
https://itch.io/jam/soup-jam
this one's focused on using a creation tool to make a little virtual room, its pretty simple and there's some links to them. it starts in 16 days and takes place over the course of just 1, which if you have a little free time i think its enough to familiarize yourself with the software and its enough time to whip something neat up.
dunno if ill have the free time, but i wanna! so ill just post it here and if i don't join ill follow up with checking out the submissions :p
Brother, this is such cool shit! I had no idea this was even a thing? (Why de heck I was not???) Anyway, thank you for sending me down spiraling on another rabbit hole, my ADHD brain can't thank you enough! XD
Do wanna share something similiar in spirit to this: https://www.slipseer.com/index.php?resources/liminal-spaces-jam.359/
This is set of Quake maps made to emulate the liminal space experience. It's pretty close in spirit to SOUP ideas.
one of my favorite games has been lsd dream emulator, and i really like these kind of like self made walking simulator areas, the soup rooms people call it 'virtual tourism' which i think is cute :D
thanks for sharing! excited to check all those out eventually.

that is definitely a cute concept. the Yam team toyed with the idea of making a little game like that, though it will probably be a few more years till something like that comes to fruition lol.
