Artis Moris Summer Game Jam 2026

15 October – 15 November 2026

Welcome to AMSGJ 2026, the Artis Moris Summer Game Jam!

You have one month to make a game around a single theme. Work alone or in a team, use any engine, make any genre. First jam or fiftieth, you're welcome here.

THEME: INFLATION

Take it wherever you like:

  • Economic: prices that keep rising, money that's worth less every turn, a shop that gets more expensive the longer you play
  • Physical: balloons, bubbles, pufferfish, things that swell, stretch and pop
  • Growth: a score, an ego, a problem or a world that keeps getting bigger until it's out of control
  • Your own idea: surprise us!

The theme should matter to your game. It doesn't have to be literal, but players should be able to see how it connects.

Dates

  • Start: Thursday 15 October 2026
  • End: Sunday 15 November 2026

Late submissions won't be accepted, so don't leave uploading until the last minute.

Rules

  1. No AI-generated assets. All art, music, sound effects, voice and writing in your game must be made by people. No AI image, music, voice or text generators. If we find AI-generated assets, the game will be disqualified.
  2. Make your game during the jam. You can plan, brainstorm and learn beforehand, but the game itself has to be made between 15 October and 15 November.
  3. Third-party assets are allowed if they were made by people, you have the right to use them, and you credit them on your game page. Engines, frameworks, libraries and code you wrote earlier are fine.
  4. Stick to the theme. Your game should be about inflation in some way.
  5. Teams: solo or teams of up to [number] people. Each person can only be in one team.
  6. Keep it friendly. No hateful, discriminatory or explicit content. Be kind in comments and in the community.
  7. Make it playable. Browser (HTML5) games are recommended so more people can play and vote. If you upload a download, include Windows at least and clear instructions.
