• Game devs who want to take their ideas to next stage.
• Projects built using Openfort (if you want to be considered for the rewards).

What you'll need to submit

• Short description of your project.
• Link to your public Github repo.
• Your slides for presenting your project live.

Price Pool: $10,000

• 1st Place: $5000 
• 2nd Place: $2500 
• 3rd Place: $1500 
• Runner-up prizes (2x): $500 

View our Developer Documentation Here. You are free to use any game engine!

Note: These are just ideas around the themes. We'd love to see some projects around those ideas, but if you want to build your own feel free to participate :)

The canvas is vast, and your ideas are the brushstrokes that will define this gaming jam. So gear up, collaborate, innovate, and let the gaming saga begin!
