It's back! Game Jam is a reoccurring event where the JMods take one whole week to explore personal projects, community suggestions, and other exciting ideas. We've seen loads of awesome projects on the go this week, so here's a preview of just a few of them...
[h2][b]Mod Dorn[/b][/h2]
Visualizing Seeds and Herbs - [url=https://twitter.com/JagexDorn/status/1760288626137567395]Mod Dorn[/url] is keen to help player visualize and differentiate items, and has taken a stab at diversifying the looks of seeds and herbs. Giving them more diverse colourings should players tell the difference at a glance!

[h2][b]Mod Pebble[/b][/h2]
What's the deal with Yanille? [url=https://twitter.com/JagexPebble/status/1760301984551153876]Mod Pebble[/url] has been learning more about our internal mapping tools and set the task of improving the tone/vibe of Yanille. They've even been getting player feedback on how players would like to see the town look!
[h2][b]Mod Sponge[/b][/h2]
Spongeatouille - [url=https://twitter.com/JagexSponge/status/1760268714635583752]Mod Sponge[/url] has taken a moment away from combat to look into the next greatest battle: cooking. Between gathering player feedback on what they would wanna see from the culinary skill.
[h2][b]Mod Fowl[/b][/h2]
Inclusivity fixes for Titles - Inclusivity is an incredibly important topic and [url=https://twitter.com/JagexFowl/status/1758414681020997854]Mod Fowl[/url] is picking up the torch from Mod Raven and working to update a ton of titles and the underlying systems to let players have more choices and options on how they wanna present themselves!

[h2][b]Mod Fox[/b][/h2]
Furniture Shark - Building off some of [url=https://twitter.com/JagexFowl/status/1703784612378370219]Mod Fowl[/url]'s previous Game Jam work, Mod Fox has gone and created this beautiful concept art for a very Legally Distinct Furniture Shark...

[h2][b]Mod Chaose, Frosch, Kitsune, Fox and Blkwitch[/b][/h2]
Daemonheim Archaeology - Continuing their intrepid work on Daemonheim Arch Site, the team has been making stellar progress including developing mysteries, designing a relic reward, inputting achievements , touching up some of the base camps snow and lighting and even building out a new map concept!
[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/f316baad763ea8788d5ce7956b047a3e3f035889.jpg[/img]
[h2][b]Mod Helen[/b][/h2]
Organizing the War Retreat boss portals - Tired of trying to figure out where the boss you wanna face is in the chronological order? Well Mod Helen has heard your prayers and has created a new system to organize the boss list in either chronological or alphabetical order!

[h2][b]Mod Luma[/b][/h2]
Shooting Star Update - Mod Luma is getting cosmic and has dove into modernizing the Shooting Star D&D, aiming to keep the core event identity in place but improving the systems!
Such as making it more reasonable to solo without impacting groups, new locations it can appear, improving the xp & bonus xp gains and making them more convenient to use along side creating a shop for Stardust and new achievements to go with it!
[h2][b]Mod Stu & Grace[/b][/h2]
Combat Level Up Jingles - Miss the old level of jingles? Well not anymore! Mod Stu has done extensive research into the previously used combat jingles and Mod Grace has graciously (heh) modernized the older midi jingles so they can make a triumphant return!

[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/42c4da3a94b288f93f47ad6350a9c5ac7e78728c.png[/img]
Backers of the RuneScape Kingdoms Kickstarter have started receiving their pledges over the past few weeks, and we’ve been so excited to see pictures of their hauls! Check out the goods:
[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/adf10183ecbb77dc37ce5ff34e659bf807b6ecba.png[/img]
If you missed out on the Steamforged Games Kickstarter back in 2022 and want to go all in – now's your chance! The [url=https://steamforged.com/products/runescape-kingdoms-tbg-deluxe-bundle]Deluxe Edition Bundle[/url] and the [url=https://steamforged.com/products/runescape-kingdoms-tbg-expansion-bundle]Expansions Bundle [/url]are exclusively available on [url=https://steamforged.com/en-gb/pages/runescape-kingdoms]Steamforged’s online store[/url] right now.
[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38802315/f3afec739200f5c55d7ffe074bb71a784e017024.png[/img]
While not quite the early bird deal snapped up by Kickstarter backers, these are now the best value for getting your hands on an all-in pledge for the core game and expansions, and will only be available until next week! Once the core game and KBD expansion release for retail February 29th, all the other expansions and core game will only be available individually.
If the Steamforged store doesn’t ship to you, you want to avoid shipping costs, or only want the core game, these are coming to retailers globally on [b]February 29th[/b].
That's all for now, but we'll have more to share next week on the retail release for the board game and separate TTRPG – including videos of your favourite JMods getting hands-on with both!

Had a little (or long) break from RuneScape and looking to get back into the swing of things? We're introducing a limited time offer for past Members to return, with 14 days of Membership and Double XP time for just $1!
If you've not been a RuneScape Member for a while, you'll be able to access this offer from February 27th to March 27th. If you're interested, return to this page on February 27th for a link to the offer.
[b]New $1 Returning Member Offer[/b]
[list][*]14 Days of Membership.[/*][*]24 Hours of Double XP (to use within 30 days of purchase).[/*][/list]
[b]Eligibility[/b]
[list][*]Available February 27th to March 27th.[/*][*]Character must have been a Member in the past.[/*][*]Character must not have had an active Membership for 30 days.[/*][*]Character must not have been active RuneScape in the last 30 days[/*][*]Character must not have completed the Old School RuneScape tutorial.*[/*][/list]
[u]Note: Due to the eligibility terms, cancelling your subscription will not gain you access to this offer. This is an offer intended to attract past Members back to RuneScape.[/u]
Many of you reading this are likely to be seasoned veterans of RuneScape, so we feel it's important we give you more details behind this offer and what we want to achieve.
We have a wealth of past RuneScape Members (with plenty of goals still to chase!) who we would love to see rejoin the world of Gielinor. With so many games out there today, we want to trial some offers to encourage them back - similar to how other games might run Free Weekends, for example. In our case, we're picking a route that best protects the health of the game with a payment gate, while also getting people back into RuneScape's best version with Membership.
We've designed this offer to provide a great low-price reason to come back, but also to encourage these ex-adventurers to get back into the swing of things properly - and that's where the Double XP comes in. Coming back to RuneScape and finding your groove can be difficult, so by offering 24 hours of Double XP, we hope to make those early hours a little more rewarding and get players re-invested in chasing their dream levels over the long term.
That said, it's deeply important to us that we take existing players into account when making this offer – we don't want any Members benefitting from 'additional' Double XP time beyond what's available today. We've intentionally designed this so that no eligible returning Member for this offer will have participated in our most recent Double XP. This means we're offering some missed Double XP time as part of the incentive to return, but [i]not[/i] giving additional Double XP time compared to existing Members.
If you've been looking for a way to get your friends back into RuneScape, we hope this offer will be a nice surprise in their inbox – and hopefully get them back in your party!
[u]*Both RuneScape titles share Membership and we love seeing players use that benefit to play both games! However, as this is a promotional idea to attract past RuneScape Members back to RuneScape, we needed to include this restriction to ensure the offer is RuneScape specific as intended.[/u]

[h2][b]Game Jam[/b][/h2]
Last week has been devoted to Game Jam, so regular tasks have taken a backseat while the JMods come up with new ideas and content. You can see in the above panel some of what they've been cooking! This means that there are no Patch Notes this week.
However, we’ve left this section in this newspost to avoid any confusion.
