thanks JFL, i couldn't find the handle.

i was the last judge to read this game and i was so impressed by it! sorry for not tagging you, i didn't know your handle.

This was a wonderful experience and I loved running the jam and seeing the games. Watch this space for next year!

Lastly, I'd like to shout out to the other two finalists: HittoPetto! by @norbezjones.bsky.social, a game of grief, dreams, and tamagotchis, and Local Glyph by Rookery Games, a game of local action and graffiti. Both were amazing and innovative, and astonishing in different ways. Hard to choose!

I loved reading this, thought it was excellent, and I'm thrilled that the game I put through to second round made it through to the end! We'll be working with Davey to get this thing published in FHC style - watch this space!

Secondly, I'm delighted to announce that the winner of the 2025 Random Prompts Jam is … Loves Me, Loves Me Not… by Davey! This is an absolute knockout game where you emulate a big romantic comedy film with a hexflower and a real actual flower.

Kudos to you all! I hope you had fun, and found it rewarding intrinsically. The world is a better place for your game having been made!

Firstly, thank you so much for letting us read your games. I personally read about a third of them, and six other judges helped out. Every game was read by at least two people, and we were all really impressed by the skill, style, and creativity we saw here.

for $25, you can also get @armadajosh.bsky.social & @beckyannison.bsky.social's LOVECRAFTESQUE 2E (the new one), LEGACY OF CTHULHU, RISE OF R'LYEH, and @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social's celebrated CTHULHU DARK. an absolute feast of tentacles, you'd be in danger of succumbing to the darkness to miss it.

I have a list of over 100 people whose details I can't confirm...

I've sent you a message!

we're going to judge this jam! the winner can choose to work with us to make their finished game with our team (if they like!), publishing it with our usual equitable and transparent way of working.
