Hello taffers.
The first edition was successful, so here's the second!
This 2nd Thief Speedbuilding Jam is all about creating a mission from scratch in two months. This is not a competition, meaning there is no ranking at the end. However, there is a catch: there are six guiding themes you must choose from when making your mission. You can choose any amount of themes to mix and match among these six to make your mission; it is entirely possible to choose just one of these themes, or all six if you wish.
These six themes are:
Here's some additional info:Lava
Monster
Rain
Sea
Tower
Underground
- You can make your mission for any game (T1, T2, TDS and TDM).
- There are no restrictions in terms of resources.
- Team efforts are allowed.
- There is no real way to verify and this isn't a competition, but it's in the best interest of this event if your mission is made from scratch.
- The timelimit is mostly here for motivated taffers, it's OK if you release it after the deadline.
- You can simply release your mission at any time during these two months, you may use a tag on your release thread, such as "Jam 2". You can always send your mission to me if you wish to release it anonymously (through PM, mail: skacky2002[at]yahoo[dot]fr or through Discord).
Deadline: May 31st, 2025 23:59:59 PST
Happy jamming!
I am up! for playing them
Excellent. Hoping for some new blood on this one. Happy building to all.
Underground in a strict sense as in, it can't be a sewer in whole, or part?
Underground is anything that's underground. It doesn't mean everything in your mission needs to be underground.
Alright I'm in, there's a sewer itch I've been wanting to scratch but it wouldn't fit in any current projects.
Tower/Undeground.
Does anyone remember Might&Magic VI? With that pyramid inside a pyramid? Good times...
Amazing! I loved the last one. I'm skipping this one too since the last intense months gave me a bit of dromed burnout, but I'll try to participate on the next!
I love anything that puts more fan missions on the map.
i so love the themes, thank you and good luck to all
my favs would be lava, rain, tower and underground
and my fav mix would be lava/underground, and rain/tower
To whoever does rain and sea-themed missions, I salute you in advance. Doubly so if it features pirates.
Great to see a new speedbuild - thanks skacky. Good luck and appreciation to all those thinking of entering - look forward to playing !
Good luck to everyone participating in the competition! I hope we will have some nice monster missions.

Please create missions with rich story and densely populated readables. Make monsters killable so it won't affect mission flow.
Is this a "Note To Self..."?
I'm def not going to make deadline. Had some issue that hung me up, and also got into the weeds on details because I can't help myself. But will try to keep the same pace to have a release as-inspired by this jam at some point later.
Same thing here. My mission won't be ready by the deadline but I'll release it later on.
Good luck everyone!
If I'm not mistaken there hasn't been a single release so far. I hope this doesn't indicate the jam turns out to be a bust.
Has anyone checked on Skacky, personally? I'm kind of worried.
i am very excited to see anything come out as the themes are all very nice, excluding monster as its hard to do that right in thief compared to other themes listed
No need to worry, he's still alive: https://bsky.app/profile/skacky.bsky.social
We're worried about skacky because...there aren't any entries for the SpeedJam? That's a little strange.
Hanging out in the Dromed Discord, it seems like several people had missions in the works for the speedjam, but they weren't able to finish them by the deadline. We still will hopefully see them at some point though.
