#ghost jam

[ukagakadreamteam]

Ghost Jam 2025 will be happening soon! It's an event we host annually where participants build a brand new ghost in just a week!

You can find the rules and information for the event here.

There is a Japanese translation of the rules provided, thanks to Nikolat. If you are interested in our event, we would be happy to have you join us!

The jam will be starting on June 19th. That gives you about two weeks to make plans and find collaborators if you want to work on a team.

Please note, unlike previous years this event will be starting at noon EDT and NOT at midnight. This is a 12 hour time shift from previous events, due to constraints on moderator schedules at this time.

BSD DAZAI DESKTOP GHOST/UKAGAKA

Put Dazai Osamu on your computer screen so you can talk and interact with him! 🖤 (#ghost bsd dazai) (last update 31.05.2024 - the launch!)

❗CONTENT WARNING❗ - This content contains mentions of suicide (lighthearted and somewhat-serious), mentions of violence and underage drinking (by the standards of Japan - Dazai is 18 years old in this). It never exeeds anything that happens in the source material, but proceed with caution.

⚠!!SPOILERS for Bungu Stray Dogs first 2 seasons!!⚠

(contains no ship content)

Made in one week for Ghost Jam 2024, hosted by @ukagakadreamteam, join Dazai in the bar, order drinks and have a chat with this mysterious bandaged man!

Befriend him to unlock more and more dialogue!

Pet his head! (Though, maybe befriend him first, or he'll get upset)

Order drinks (doesn't really do anything, but it's the immersion)

Befriending might take you some time... but it's worth it 🖤

Have him do small stuff like change your computer background or empty your recycle bin

🖤 INSTALL HIM TODAY! 🐈

⏩DOWNLOAD HIM HERE! ⏪

The link above should bring you to the website with step-by-step instructions on how you can install this guy on your PC!

⚠!!BE AWARE, THIS IS LOADED WITH MY HEADCANONS!! SOME THINGS MIGHT SEEM OOC!!⚠

✨I have a question/encountered a bug/encountered a spelling mistake!✨

Message me away! If you think something is wonky, a weird expression or bad grammar, please @ me, send me an ask or dm me 🙏 This also goes for the suggestions you may have or the things you like about Dazai here and want to share with me, my ask box and suggestions are open!! It’s been done in a week and it was a LOT, so I appreciate all of the feedback you may have 💖

Luxlight Ghost

It would appear that you have downloaded a mysterious entity onto your computer. Don't worry, he's harmless. At least in this current state. As long as you treat him with kindness, he will be content to exist on your desktop. Content warning: This ghost may contain references to death, murder, and nightmares. Viewer discretion is advised.

This is my entry to the 2024 Ghost Jam hosted by @ukagakadreamteam! This is the first ghost I've ever created by myself, so please pardon any bugs that you may encounter.

They are considerably larger than their siblings, even with sitting down. All three siblings are in neutral poses. /End description.]

WIP Wednesday! Against my best judgement I'm participating in @ukagakadreamteam's Ghost Jam event. Thankfully I only have to make the shells for this (and probably some shell coding), so I think things are going pretty well?

This likely won't be available for public release immediately after the event, but it will eventually!

From across time and apparently space, it's a Chrono Trigger ghost made for Ghost Jam 2021! Bring Crono, Marle, and Lucca onto your desktop to hang out with you! They don't have too much content yet, but we have a lot of cool ideas for the future!

You can pick up their .nar file here

@zarla-s​ wrote all the dialogues, and despite having to move slowly because her wrist is still healing, she pulled through and wrote us some top tier dialogues! Make sure you try out all the functions and such and see it all!

@characteroulette did all of the shell art, and exported over 340 files for this shell! Thanks to the crazy amount of artwork that he put out, these three have poses that face forwards, left, and right, so that they can look at each other while they talk!

And I pulled the wonderful elements that I was given together with the coding! Not only can all three characters look at each other, they'll face correctly no matter how you move them around on screen!

They also come with a balloon that replicates the look of the original SNES text boxes. It comes with a custom font, so make sure you install that! The balloon should install itself when you install the ghost, but if it does not, you can download it separately as well.

We hope you enjoy what our ghost has to offer, and we hope you'll look forward to future updates!
