Theme : All that glitters is not Gold.
Welcome to the Technex 2025 Game Jam, the ultimate challenge for game developers to showcase their creativity, innovation, and technical prowess! Over two weeks, participants will design and build games based on a theme that will be revealed when the jam begins. But the excitement doesn’t end there!
This year’s theme, "All That Glitters Is Not Gold," challenges you to explore deception, hidden truths, and unexpected realities. Whether through gameplay mechanics, narrative twists, or visual aesthetics, interpret the theme in your own creative way!
After submitting your game, you’ll get the chance to pitch your creation at an exclusive offline event during Technex 2025, where a panel of judges will evaluate your work.
Extra time will be given because of delay in Theme Release.
