Amare Games Festival Mid-Point Check in!
Hello Everyone!
We hope you are having a great Amare Games Festival 2024!
Most importantly staying hydrated and having fun.
We have already started to received some amazing entries this year!
Just a reminder that if you released a Full Game, Demo or Game Update this month you can submit it to the #AmareGamesFestival
All you need to do is join on the Jam page and submit your game.
Sign up on the Amare Games Festival Itch Page.
We also have a special surprise!
Thanks the precarious nature of the current Social Media climate we are trying something new this year!
All games entered will be featured on the NEW amaregames.com website.
I'll be showing off some previews in the coming weeks.
Can't wait to see all the amazing entries this year.
To find out more details about the Festival keep reading!
What is Amare?
Check out the Amare tag on Itch.io https://itch.io/games/tag-amare
Why a festival?
Jams are an awesome way to get the creative juices flowing and challenge yourself to create a game in a short amount of time. However, there are already a lot of amazing projects in progress, so it's important to celebrate those and give people the opportunity to focus on setting and achieving goals with their existing projects as well.
Examples of Submissions
A new game.
A new demo or Vertical slice.
A new chapter update to an existing game.
Adding new features or content to an existing game.
The festival has fairly relaxed rules, but in general, we would like all participants to keep these in mind:
Rules:
You must Release or Update during the festival period. Work can be commenced before the start of the festival.
Please clearly label demos or first episodes as such. - This is to help us organise the entries
Please clearly state the exact update or new content that was added during the festival.
Submissions can be Free or Commercial.
NSFW must be properly labelled, but is fine as long as it adheres to Itch.io's TOS
No hate speech, (i.e. speech that promotes hatred, violence or discrimination against groups of people based on ethnicity, religion, gender, age, disability or sexual orientation.) or content that is patently offensive or intended to shock or disgust viewers.
Content Warnings are needed (Here is a link to help you with those if you need it!)
We currently do not support AI-generated games or games that make use of generative AI writing and art. Until legislation is put in place to ensure ethical training models that respect artist and creator copyright and regulate transparency on the use of AI in creative content, we will not allow the submission of games that utilise generative AI.
We kindly ask that you tag your game with the 'Amare' tag here on itch.io. This will ensure people who are watching the tag instead of just the jam page will see your game.
Join the discord to find others who are looking for festival partners, and to talk with other Amare Devs!

Amare Fortnightly Bulletin 1/02/24 - 15/02/24
Hi everyone!
Issue 10, covering from the 1st of February until the 15th is now uploaded. Amare news is heating up again with more releases, updates, and crowdfunding going up. Ace Jam also wrapped up within this time frame so be sure to have a look at that.
There were a few last minute game announcements and releases we caught but the bulletin was finalised by then so we'll definitely catch them in the next update! But that just shows there is a lot going on in the world of VNs right now!
Be sure to check out the issues and all the new content out there.

Amare Mini Fortnightly Bulletin 16/11/2023 - 24/11/2023
Hello everyone! We have posted Issue #4, which is a mini issue of the Amare Bulletin.
Due to the timing of Steam and Itch's "Black Friday" sales, both of them would have missed being mentioned in the next issue as they'd have been over by then. These are often pretty major sales for small developers so we wanted to be sure we sent an issue out to remind everyone.
In addition, this has also been a pretty slow news period - possibly because of Thanksgiving in the US. We thought that doing two mini versions of the bulletin might be better. So this week and next week will cover only 1 week instead of the usual fortnightly period.
We'll return back to our fortnightly schedule for Issue 6.
Thank you to everyone who has been checking out the bulletin!
