My entry to the first Femicom Game Jam is Joy

Joy is a game that I created as part of the first Femicom Game Jam: "Here's To Theresa Duncan". It is a story book game that follows a transsexual girl named Jamie.

Due to an unexpected death in the family, I had to cancel my first Kickstarter for a children's show and game in memory of my father, called Mr. Mac's Rainbow Greenhouse.  This game brings the ideas of the game portion of that project into reality.

The Femijam Game Jam Has Been Extended To May 6

The first game jam by Femicom, the feminine computer museum, was set to end today, but the deadline has been extended two weeks to May 6, 2015.

The theme is "Here's to Theresa Duncan".  This game jam is all about creating games inspired by her three storybook adventure games, Chop Suey, Zero Zero, and Smarty, which were re-released for free play via online emulation earlier this month.

Sorry about the late relay of the news, as I just found out about the game jam yesterday.  Since there is now two more weeks left, hopefully I'll be able to get an homage of my own up for it by the deadline.

Theresa Duncan's Games Are Now Playable Online

Last year, a successful kickstarter campaign ensured that the three adventure game storybooks aimed at young girls, created by Theresa Duncan (Chop Suey, Smarty, and Zero Zero), would be available for free online, for a minimum of one year.

Today, that goal has come to fruition, as the three games are now available online through emulation, and can be played in the player directly here.

Kickstarter To Make Theresa Duncan Adventures Playable Free

There is a kickstarter campaign running now to make the three adventure games created by Theresa Duncan (Chop Suey, Smarty, and Zero Zero) available for free online, for a minimum of one year.  These games were pioneers of their time, but they are now obscure, and long out of print.  They targeted young girls in the mid-1990's when the market catered almost exclusively to young boys.  They were story based adventure games and revolve around search and discovery.  They were also well received when they were released.  Chop Suey was named the 1995 CD-ROM of the Year by Entertainment Weekly.

Sadly, Theresa Duncan passed away in 2007, but this Kickstarter aims to make sure that her games continue to be able to be enjoyed by the next generation of children.  If this sounds like a campaign you're interested in, head over to the Theresa Duncan CD-ROMs kickstarter and pick a pledge tier.
