Welcome to the third Star Haven Jam. This is a competition to make the best mod of any Paper Mario series game you can. You have 8 weeks, and, as always, there is a theme!


The mod does not need to be big: focus on quality over quantity. You could add a custom enemy, an awesome boss, a few new maps, or even an epic twist on standard gameplay. Anyone can participate, and it's fine to work in groups! If you're looking for inspiration, check out the previous jam's results.

Rules

  • Submission must be a mod/romhack of any Paper Mario series game.
  • Submission must be open source.
  • Submission must respect the IP, e.g. no swearing, no NSFW.
  • Teams of any size are allowed.
  • Using existing work is allowed (you might want to check out the #asset-sharing channel of our Discord server).

Do I have to have modded Paper Mario before to join this jam?

Absolutely not! Check out our documentation.

Need help? Questions? Looking to join a team? Join our Discord and introduce yourself in the #event-general channel.
