The Interact-if text-based story jam was a interactive-fiction game jam event organised by the interact-if team, running in January 2022. The stated purpose of this jam was to "encourage our community to branch out, interact with other works, experience what else the IF community has to offer, and possibly start creating themselves!"
The event was separated into two sub-jams, each with their own theme:
- ranked, with the theme cliffhanger
- unranked, with the theme red herring
Ranked Jam
The ranked side of the event proposed the theme of cliffhanger, where authors competed for the winning spot. The top three placements, as well as the winner of each category, were then interviewed by interact-if. Judges included the moderation team of interact-if as well as the participating authors.
Rules
- Games must be at least 50% complete to be considered for placement.
- Games must maintain the given theme somewhere within the story.
- Only complete games will be considered for 1st place placement.
- No game-breaking bugs
- Must be legible and not break any of the community rules and guidelines
