This jam is now over. It ran from 2024-08-01 15:00:00 to 2024-08-15 15:00:00. View results

The Cafe Dot Jam is a special event where members of the Cafe Dot community can create a game in a set amount of time. Creators are able to improve their skills, do something creative and meet other passionate people, all while making something cool. At the end, we will stream and review the games on our official Cafe Dot Twitch account. You can make your game about anything you like, not just Cafe Dot related! The day before the Jam starts, we will announce the Theme, which you can use as a prompt to give you some inspiration for your game. It's not necessary, but helpful for people who might not have any ideas!

THEME: CELEBRATION

Join the Discord server Discord.gg/CafeDot to find a team or discuss the event!

  1. Find a team using the Discord channels, or go solo!
  2. Come up with a team name
  3. Get developing!
  4. Submit a game to itch.io and link your game in the server game jam thread (To be created)!
  5. Admins will also vote on their personal favorite- yes, that means two winners!

  • No premade assets or AI generated assets to be used whatsoever. This is an exercise to make something creative for yourself.

(What counts as premade? Anything created before the jam start, made by yourself or otherwise. This means no premade: art, programming assets, music, sfx etc. The jam is a chance to try something new, and learn some skills. If you're not able to make something, find someone who can join your team!)

  • We suggest having the ability to play the game in-browser, as you'll get more people to play your game if you do so!
  • No teams of more than 5 people.
  • You are allowed to join more than one team if both teams agree to it.
  • Solo developers are allowed.
  • Late joiners are allowed.
  • Games can be submitted any time earlier than the deadline.
  • Mods are allowed to join, but have no input on the admin voting.

Jam Start: Thursday 1st August

Jam End: Thursday 15th August

Vote counting period:  Ends Thursday 22nd August


Results will be revealed when the counting process is over, and an admin will reach out to the winning teams to discuss your prizes! After that, the results will be announced in the server for everyone.
