Ghost Jam 2023 Results!

Hey folks! Ghost Jam 2023 has concluded, and now it’s time to share the results! We have, once again, had a rather large turnout, so buckle up for a long post!

This year we had 25 submissions by 31 different developers. That’s 2 more submissions than last year!

Of those submissions, 6 of them were made in the first 72 hours of the jam, qualifying for our 72 hour challenge. 3 of those were even done within the first 24 hours!? That’s a first!

13 of the ghosts were made from scratch/just a single template, with no other pre-made assets, qualifying for our New Assets Only challenge!

Additionally, this year we saw a little more variety in the languages, both spoken language and coding language, used to make the ghosts! One ghost was submitted in Japanese, and another in Russian and Belarusian!

As far as coding languages go, most English ghosts use a language called YAYA (or sometimes the older version, AYA), but we had one entry in Satori, and one in Kawari!

Of the participants in the event, 20 of them were participating in a ghost jam for the first time, and 15 of them released their first ghost as a part of the jam!

Harder to quantify with stats, but still very interesting to note, was the great variety in ghosts that we saw this year! There are a lot of really creative entries that deviate from the standard ghost style. Some are desktop buds, some are focused on a single concept, some pull you into the character’s world, and some are entire games! Give them all a try, there’s a lot of cool stuff here!

With all of that out of the way, let’s see the ghosts! As mentioned, it’s a long post, so check under the cut for the listing!

twst as presentable liberty letters

i just realized that none of their eyes are open— i swear this was unintentional lmao

[persuasiveteachercharmer]

[sketchyface]

This is where I post from BTW

[pennywheelfarthing]

Presentable Liberty by way of T.S. Eliot.

I dunno. I just rewatched a playthrough of Presentable Liberty and I’ve been Thinking about it, so I decided to draw a little something.

Featuring the words from The Hollow Men, because I like that poem and also I felt like the bit at the end about the end of the world was in keeping with the general tone.

Both of Mr. Smiley’s fonts, Charlotte’s font, and the ending font are all game-accurate, but Dr. Money’s and Salvadore’s are just ones that were kinda close.

After scrolling through 88 pages of fonts and not finding the real ones it was just easier 🫠

Presentable Liberty

Okie, so forewarning, this post shall be discussing certain topics that may not be suitable for all, such as suicide, so please do bear that in mind before proceeding.

So, I just recently watched Markiplier's video depicting his gameplay of "Presentable Liberty" (yes, I'm aware I'm a tad bit late to the show). Anywho, the game was created by "Wertpol", birth name Robert Brock, who unfortunately decided to end his life in June 2018. This game in particular speaks to what I could only presume to be his experience with mental health.

A brief summary for those of you who haven't a clue what this game is: the game starts off with the protagonist in a prison cell, who's only means of communication with the outside world are letters sent by 4 characters. Through these letters, we learn of a world plagued by infection outside and we told we are one of the few 2% left uninfected.

Now, for the analysis (if you still haven't a clue of what the hell is going on, I do highly recommend Markiplier's playthrough). The story may seem wild, unpredictable and just plainly doesn't make any sense, however, I started relating to the events through my own experiences. First and foremost, we have the cell. We haven't a clue what exists outside this small room, our only source of information coming from occasional letters delivered through the slat under our prison cell doorway. And so begins the numerous symbolisms. What do we think of when we think of prison? Sure, of course we think criminals, violence, guards, life sentences, but what of isolation? And in the case of this game, that isolation exists within one's mind. The protagonist shuts themselves away from society, only receiving information from letters which I interpreted to be social media and text messages, hence why progressively we become more and more enthusiastic about receiving them. It represents the small hits of dopamine that hits our minds anytime we see a message from a friend, or a notification from a platform. We have isolated ourselves from the world for unknown reasons, creating a prison cell within our minds.

But what of the virus? Depression. It is slowly affecting the population, killing them off slowly but surely, either an individual's organs slowly shutting down, or from them committing the act themselves. That is the infection spreading about. Depressing, hence why Mr Smiley is tasked with keeping us happy. We mustn't fall into despair like the rest of the population. We mustn't be infected.

Mr Smiley is certainly a unique character. He seems rather odd at first, and their only goal is to keep us happy, the reason behind it later on being revealed to be because his two daughters are being held hostage. And it works. We gain a penpal. We become happier, for whatever brief amount of time. Sort of like the effects therapy and drugs have on our psyche. However, they might not always work. Eventually, the benefits might start to dwindle, and we shall once more find ourselves at square one with our depression, and so, Mr Smiley departs.

Charlotte is a random stranger from a bakery who begins to write to us from lack of companionship. Her mood drastically changes in the letters, until eventually she speaks of no longer being able to go on. Charlotte offers us a different perspective of how suicide affects us all. Despite being a virtual stranger to us, we grow fond of her, and her death strikes a chord in our hearts. She demonstrates the lasting effect one can have on another individual, such as the beautiful music we heard from her phonograph one lonely evening. It may seem small, but it lasts, and her departure leaves a gaping hole in our chests.

Now, our friend, Salvadore. He is far from our world, deep in nature, exploring his own adventure and doing as he wishes with his life. He sends us gifts and letters, retelling his experience and expresses his miss for us. We don't respond. He eventually realizes something is wrong. He notices the symptoms. He frantically makes his way home, to where he discovers it is not how he left it. The signs become obviously clear. He makes his way to us, telling us not to give up, that he shall arrive. Until he reaches an obstacle. The prison. Our mind's blockade. And when he attempts shutting off the power, he is electrocuted.

Throughout the game, characters vaguely mention us being high up. High up? In a prison? Unless once more, there is symbolism. A rooftop, perhaps. We are at the edge, about to make a decision that we can't take back. And Salvadore, our friend, died trying to help us, maybe showing that however good our friends' intentions are, if we are so caught up within our inner turmoil, we may drag them down with us. But throughout all this, there has been one obvious villain, one obvious antagonist who wishes for Mr Salvadore to quit speaking with us, who wishes for us to remain in our cell forever.

Mr Money. He sets up Mr Smiley to provide us happiness, though in all the letters, it is evidently fake, ingenuine. Mr Money is the one handing out the antidote, worsening the infection, the situation as a whole. He is the one who keeps us imprisoned in isolation, who so desperately wishes for us to cut off all communication with the outside.

He is human's worst enemy. Our minds.

Rip Charlotte you would’ve loved Princess Peach Showtime 😔🙏

PRESENTABLE LIBERTY /POS

I REPLAYED IT AFTER 2 YEARS IM GONNA REFIXATE

[the-acid-pear]

watching a video on presentable liberty and hearing the youtuber say Charlotte really cared about you like no brother... she cared about the idea of you she doesn't know if you are even real or who you are or even WHAT you've done to even BE there for all she knows you caused 9/11 or something HELL FOR ALL SHE KNOWS YOU'D FUCKING HATE HER so she doesnt care about you she cares about what you represent and what you represent is not being entirely alone . . .

[makethosenarratorsfight]

UNRELIABLE NARRATORS; SIDE B

Narrator of Slay the Princess Propaganda:

It's genuinely unclear, with the current public state of the game, if the Narrator knows that there's a weird time loop going on or not. Either way, he is VERY confident in telling the Hero that there's absolutely no way he's seen the Princess before after the first go around. Just about everything else about him seems pretty sketchy, too- With him literally warping the world to get the Hero to *go into the damn cabin.* I've also seen theories that the reason the Narrator says the world will end if the Princess isn't slain is because he knows that "happily ever after" is where stories usually end, and the Princess can't live happily ever after if she doesn't live. Also, he's voiced by Jonathan Sims. Doesn't make him unreliable, but I'm sure that will convince some people to vote for him.

Dr. Money Propaganda:

Dr. Money is kinda treated as the source of info for the player character, as like the government official or whatever. However, you learn pretty early on that hes lying to you. cracks start to form in his narrative and by the end of the game its revealed that he was just bullshitting you the whole time for money because hes a capitalist

[prisonerandletters]

You are in the middle of a long gray corridor. And in the end of that corridor is a metal door. And behind of that door is a Prisoner. You are here to deliver him a letter.
