Research Zine Jam!

Welcome to the February Research Zine Jam!

This jam invites everyone to produce a Zine (either physical or digital) on research they’ve done OR a correctly cited/referenced research paper they really love.

Why This Jam?

Faun (@paladinbaby) and Hollis (@hmooncreates) (us, the co-hosts!) are two people very passionate about research and learning. Once you leave a traditional academic setting, there seems to be a steep drop off in how often you get to nerd out on research, or even get to deep dive into a topic.

So - what do you do about that? You make a zine jam of course

The Goal: To celebrate research you love/has affected you and to make research more accessible. 

Everyone is allowed to participate but we do have some ground rules:

Rules

Not required, but making something physical/that can be printed out is preferred! You can read a beginner-friendly guide here or if you want something more complicated here. 

The zine can be your own research OR a correctly cited/referenced research paper written by someone else. No matter what – your work must be properly cited unless truly all original. 

Be accurate, be careful, be specific. We want this information to be easily readable, but in making it easily readable, we shouldn’t make it inaccurate!

No AI generated content. 

Don’t be hateful! No bigotry allowed.

Future Goals

Our goal is to run this jam every other month, with a two week posting period. This gives everyone a six-week period to get their research together, think, and even collaborate (after this Jam!). We hope as we do this the zine gets bigger and more people get the chance to share information that’s passionate to them!

Happy making!

I HAVE FINISHED MY ITCH ZINE!

I finished my submission for my friend @calcium-chan's Itch jam about the Itch.io & Funko Pop situation from December!

I made a short little zine about how I was directly affect by it on the night of the outage and my reaction to learning about it.

Commune (public transport jam, dev diary #1)

Core components: Horizontally wrapped mega-dungeon-sized mall theme, soft grunge cartoon aesthetic, public transport & services' exploration as game mechanics. Exploration-focused, realistic 'tiny' scope so go divide & conquer as a level publishing strategy (like how Doom & Quake did it), no story or none to until the end of development, no real-time elements.

Extra components: Mega-OCEAN personalities, Linux support, first person perspective, *GIS support, Zachtronics puzzles...

Locations: Mainframe middle tower, dollar store, video rental club, public library, tabletop hobby games store, bus stop & circuits, forested parks, river, hillside, seas/oceans?, study center, plains, wooden tower, Volkshalle-like dome, black mansion, L-shaped monument, community center, arcade, cyber cafe, regular cafe, electronics shop, forested park...
