Want to see others playing your game?
At the end of this jam, the Aristos team plays the games and uploads a video to YouTube celebrating your hard work!
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.
Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
Be someone else. Forge your identity. Leave your mark.
The theme for this jam is CHARACTER.
Every great story begins with someone worth remembering.
Become a legendary hero, a cunning villain, an unlikely survivor, or an ordinary person in extraordinary circumstances. Create unforgettable personalities, forge relationships, shape identities, or explore what makes someone who they are.
But character is more than just the person you play. It's the choices you make, the flaws you carry, and the world that shapes you. Perhaps your character changes with every decision, or perhaps the world changes because of them.
Whether you build a cast of unforgettable faces or tell the story of just one, give us someone worth remembering.
Who will you become?
Judging lasts 3 days after the jam's conclusion, and games will be ranked on the following criteria by other jam participants:
