Welcome to the Aristos Interactive Game Jam #5!

Theme

Tame the wild, explore the frontier, venture forth.

This game jam's theme is WILDERNESS.

Beyond the roads of civilization lies the untamed frontier. Brave dense forests, towering mountains, sun-scorched deserts, storm-tossed seas, or lands untouched by mankind. Perhaps you're charting the unknown. Perhaps you're simply trying to survive in a harsh, untamed world. 

However you interpret the wilderness, forge an experience worthy of legend.

Description

Step into the arena and bring an idea to life!

This beginner-friendly jam is all about creating a fun, playable game you’re proud to show off. Over the course of the weekend, challenge yourself to build a simple but engaging gameplay loop, something that feels good, something that exists because you made it.

All tools are welcome.
AI assistance is welcome.
Premade assets are welcome.

What matters most is finishing a playable experience and learning along the way.

At the end of the jam, we will play some of the game entries and upload a video to YouTube celebrating your hard work!

Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
