Usually that jam theme is kinda simple, right?
That's awesome! Crazy that like 66% of top games were gm. The best thing about the GMC jams is the community. So I recently just finished up an itch.io jam with 22 entries, most of which were beginner to intermediate developers. So I did what we all do here, made a post where I reviewed everyones games giving critique, improvements, what I liked ect. It was weird cause everyone was like floored by the effort I put in and all I was thinking was like "damn it was only 22 entries and I didnt even go THAT in depth". It was an eye opener as to how much this community values giving critique and helping each other become better developers. I had only ever participated in the GMC jams before that one so to me I was like "well duh this is normal." Guys...its not. And I love it! I thank everyone that participates in these jams and puts the time in to review and play!YoYo Games just published this blog post about using GameMaker in game jams features a few of the people here (including me) as interviewees!

The clue there is that Donald Trump doesn't tell the truth...I’d say it’s probably pandemic response. @GameDevDan has hinted on it very strongly.

Oops the last one - fixed nowWas a clue letter just removed or did the theme change? Or was the latest clue just not added to the main topic?
i strongly agreeI've thought so much about the pandemic theme possibility that I might feel extremely disappointed and face a creative block if it's not actually pandemic
I did not actually say this another time, I just figured out I can hack quotes.
