Have you always wanted to make video games? Do you like horror? 

In this three-month event you will be able to create a demo, a short or even a long game so we can all enjoy them. 

 This year we have talks and tutorials given by our jury that will take place days before the Summer Horror Jam (June 19 and 20 starting at 6:00 p.m. in our Discord community)

 Additionally, we have multiple prizes for everyone who participates. What are you waiting for?

The Jam theme will be chosen minutes before the start of the Jam in our Discord community, through the roulette of death where a couple of elements will be decided that together will make up this year's theme. 21th of June at 19:00 am (GMT+1)

Later, it will also be published on this same page, so that everyone is aware and for those people who have not been able to come to our Discord. 

The theme of this year is...?

-The game must conform to the two elements that will form the main theme of this event. 

-Games already made or in progress will not be admitted.  

-Teams of 3 people MAXIMUM are suggested, but it can be done individually. 

-Games that have participated in previous jams will not be admitted. You can create it for this Jam and participate in following jams.

-All games must have the following title "Created for the summer horror jam 2025" 

-Put in the description of the itch page that the games are for people over 16 years old

-The game must be published to play it on the web. It can also be made for the web and downloadable if desired, but having a web version must be respected. (People will play more on the web than downloadable).

✅Yes, as long as you have their license and it is correctly accredited. 

How are teams created?

You can use the forum of this Summer horror jam to search for members or attend the previous talk that will be at 6:00 p.m., on June 21, 2025 in our Discord community. Teams will also be formed there. 

Is AI content accepted? 

❌Nop 

Can I continue working on the project when this event ends? 

✅Yes, of course but during voting week you won't be able to fix anything. It will be a hard week for everyone and we have to rate all the games presented by both the jury and you.

This year we have several talks prepared with our jury days before the start of this Summer Horror Jam and they are described below: 

-Panic's Studios: Flashlight system + 1 puzzle for horror games in rpg maker mv.  

- For first place and each member of the team will take a key to the following authors: Point&pixel Adventures, Merck92 and Croqueta Asesina Studio. Keys could also be distributed for the second place, according to the number of keys and the number of members of the first and second place. The key distribution on the day will be completely random although we will take into account the genre preferences of each participant.

-For the first 5 places they will have a special role in our Discord community "Top 5 teams of summer horror jam 2025" They will also have an interview described below.

-For the first 10 positions, a top 10 video will be made on my YouTube channel and an interview for those who want to do it talking about their experience and development of this Summer Horror Jam. 

-For everyone, we will do a live event throughout the voting week on my YouTube channel where everyone will be able to enjoy your creations live and attract a certain audience at the same time. There will also be a special role "Summer Horror Jam" where you will have access to the entire dev area of our Discord community (previews, team creation, trailers, etc. are shown). Finally, they will also appear on my itch.io page and will always be visible.
