2.4 Hours of ZZT

[RT-55J]

Recently the ZZT community has settled on the timeframe of 2.4 hours (2 hours 24 minutes) for its shortform jams. This is longer than the old 1 hour "blitzkrieg ZZT" (BKZZT) jams, and shorter than the old 24 Hours of ZZT jams. It's a happy medium where you can actually make something, but not have to commit an unreasonably amount of Adulting Time to it.

Last year we had three of these 2.4 hour jams, and if you peruse the submissions you can see that I participated in all of them. :)

This year we're doing two jams, and hopefully I can participate in both of them. Currently I've used up 37 minutes out of 144, and I'm very excited to see how the final product turns out.

For February, the DOS Game Club community was playing ZZT. I took a chance to post on the forums and evangelize the good word of Zed Zed Ted and this jam, and apparently they want me to be a guest on the podcast because of that (along with the esteemed Dr. Dos).

We're recording this Saturday.

Wish me luck.

The recording happened without a hitch.

We didn't really talk about the jam, and the conversation was (from my perspective) relatively beginner-level, but I think it was a pretty nice convo.

plz look forward to it (whenever it get edited and such)
