Field notes
The signup form collects an email address and asks whether visitors may make, play, judge, or help produce games; it also offers an option for interest in future themed jams. The page previews three asset types—Patty Maker, Ribbon Blender, and Extruder—but says the library and usage terms are not ready. Clean Meat Alliance is named as organizer, while the itch.io signup page is described as forthcoming.
