Welcome to the first ever CYBRPUNK JAM!

What is the CYBRPUNK JAM?

The CYBRPUNK JAM is a jam dedicated to exploring the cyberpunk genre through games! We want to see the themes that make cyberpunk, cyberpunk. This includes, but is not limited too:

  • High-tech, low-life
  • Late stage capitalism
  • Augmentation
  • AI
  • Consequences of emerging/new technologies

The CYBRPUNK JAM also has a discord! Here you talk about all thing cyberpunk, find team mates/people to collab with, and share you progress!

FAQ

When is the jam?
The CYBRPUNK JAM is hosted on the first Saturday of every month.

What game engine can I use?
Any engine you'd like or you could even make you're own engine. If you do use your own custom engine, please let us know cause that's hella cool!

Can I use things I've already made?
Yes and no. Your game should be unique and not a reskin of a previous game. That said, feel free to reuse general things like assets and scripts the help speed up the process.

Can I use generative AI tools?
No. If you struggle with art, music, coding, or anything else, you might consider collaborating! You can find team mates by making a post in the community tab or by joining the CYBRPUNK JAM discord! https://discord.gg/8hFq2DuJPJ

Will there be a prize?
Other then a good feeling? No. I will announce the winner in the discord server though.

Judging

After the jam ends, a one week voting period will begin. Jam participants and any contributors will be judging games on the following:

  • Cyberpunkness: Is the game cyberpunk?
  • Theme: How well did the game follow the theme?
  • Music and Audio: How good was the music? How about the audio?
  • Fun: Was the game fun?
  • Originality: Were you pleasantly surprised by some game mechanic or design in the game?
