Make a game in zero hours! When the clock rolls back for daylight savings, you get a FREE HOUR which you can use any way you like! Use it to make a game. I probably won't, but be sure to click on the "rules" tab, it is awesome.

Fuck This Jam - make a game within a genre that you hate. Seriously considering making an old-school RPG, set in an actual old school.

Maybe others? There are basically cool internet game jams going on all the time. Post some that you're thinking of doing!

Love the concept behind 0h Game Jam. Totally up for that one.

Fuck This Jam I'm not so sure about. I mean, the genre I hate the most would have to be MMORPG, but I really doubt I'd be able to make one in the allotted time (and I'm not sure if I'd want to make one even if time permits). I also kind of hate traditional fighting games and RTS games but the former has been parodied before and the latter I simply don't have enough experience with... unless the whole point of the jam is to look at game genres from a fresh perspective.

Man, if I could think of a game genre I actually hate, I might do this. The idea of the event is so promising.

How about... intentionally

How about... intentionally broken casual freemium games? Is that a genre?
