February 2020 issue

From the Editor

February 1st, 2020 by Stewart C Baker
It’s game jam day, calloo, callay!

This issue contains the two winning games from our 2019 game jam by A.M. LeBlanc and George Lockett, as well as original games by guest authors Ken Liu and Monica Valentinelli. Rounding out the issue is the first prat of an original serial by Sharang Biswas, and our glorious cover art by Laura De Stefani.

We had a lot of fun seeing games written to our theme of ENVIRONMENT. You can check out the jam here: https://itch.io/jam/subqjam-2019
