Winter Visual Novel Jam

The Winter Visual Novel Jam is a VN jam where in the month of December participants create a visual novel themed around winter.

The jam was first hosted by Katy133 in 2020 and 2021, and hosted by Arimia and Maricu in 2022. It has been promoted by the DevTalk VN developer community, and general awareness, preparations, and team building for the jam start a month in advance.

History

The Winter VN Jam was inspired by Katy133 playing An Otaku's Guide to Santa's Reindeer ^[VNDB].
