Touhou Fan Game Jam 16 starts in a month on October 23rd at 12:00 PM PST. Teams will have 72 hours to make a game based around a theme. The theme for this jam is: Tailor-Made! "The residents of Gensokyo may seem like a patchwork of different species and beliefs, but they're all cut from the same cloth. "Touhou Fan Game Jam 16: Tailor Made" challenges you to show how they fit in or stand out. Find your fit, flirt with fast fashion, or unearth some vintage finds—this jam is perfectly suited for you. Alternatively, leave the fashion world altogether and help Junko craft the perfect danmaku tailor-made to kill Chang'e." Links to the jam and the Discord (which has channels for team-forming) are available here! We hope to see many of you during the next Touhou Fan Game Jam! Game Jam:

Final Thanks

A final thanks to those who came out to participate, both directly in the Jam, and also the community who voted and played the games we created. Our next Jam will be sometime around January. But until then, you can find us on Our Discord Server, which most of the year is dedicated to making Touhou fan games and general Touhou community efforts.

In particular, Redditaisai is coming up this July 27th, at which point many of our jam games will have received some extra polish and creators will spend the day sharing the works they’ve made. You can learn more about this on Reddit.

— Touhou Fan Game Jam 4 PRIDE MODE!! 6/20-6/23 (@TouhouFanJam)

June 21, 2019

[touhoujam]

This Jam’s Theme is Pride / Identity in honor of pride month! Starting on the 20th, Jammers will have 72 hours to make and submit their games. Naturally, since this is a unique/eventful theme, we have a few things mention;

- You are not required to make an LGBT+ related game (Hence, “Identity” as an alternative theme), but anyone interested is encouraged to.

- Please respect people who do follow the theme and what they decide to make

- Refrain from drama about the theme. This was a decision made by the jam team, and our way of celebrating the diverse Touhou community.

- Your game is more than welcome to respectfully explore personal or uncomfortable subjects if you would like to share your voice on them, but be aware we are not allowing games that support bigotry or actively disrespect the theme of the jam.

- Be Fabulous.

Once again, we encourage participants to join us on Our Discord and additional information can be found at the jam page on Itch.io EdIt: We’ve temporarily restricted access to the discord due to harassment

[touhoujam]

Now on your local Tumblr, it's the Touhou Fan Game Jam! The rules? Simple! Participants get 72 hours to make a game from scratch, following a theme. Make anything you'd like using any tools and work with as many people as you'd like. 

We're hosting our fourth jam this weekend, June 20-23! For those interested, sign up on our jam page. If you need to find a team, check out our Discord server. We've got plenty of people still scrambling to find teammates.
