Last year, I ran a small, in-person, PICO-8 only jam called PICOJAM 25 at the Pico Pico Café in Tokyo.
I do this to help Japanese and international PICO-8 devs connect to each other and make something silly and fun. The event is mostly in Japanese.
The jam starts on Saturday and ends Sunday evening; we choose a theme beforehand and develop to that theme. There were two themes last year; MATSURI (festival) and MELT.
This is last year's compilation cart, featuring:
Hanabi Designer by @hiko and @shoma
Anxiety Festival by @caranha and @cornettheory
Bernie Visits the Wax Museum by @zep
OMATSURI TD by @uchuzine
Picogori by @davemakes, @npckc and @mabbees
Taiko Terror by @ugokuware and @illuminesce
...with two extra "get well soon" carts since two jammers couldn't make it due to illness.
Extra thank you to @mabbees for making the compilation and giving his blessing for me to post it here.
I wrote more about it on my blog in English:
