To help keep the jam alive, I've set up a GoFundMe to help cover the prizes and shipping costs. If you'd like to support it in any way, it would mean so much to the Amiga community! 💖Support the GoFundMe HERE! 

Please feel free to contact me if you think you could help out by being a sponsor or donating prizes.

PhotonSCX has also very generously donated alternative fonts to the standard Topaz font for anyone to use in their AmiGameJam projects, check out the link here. There is also now an AmiBlitz plugin made by Honitos available for anyone to use that will let you include any fonts including PhotonSCX's ones!

Return of the Arcade.

This time, the challenge is to create an Amiga game in the style of a game that's worthy of its own arcade cabinet.

The competition will close at 1.00AM GMT December 1st 2025. After this date, voting will open to the community to vote on each of the games for around two weeks. 

The game must be an original one, no ports allowed this time around. Entries need to have been started after the start date which is June 1st, 2025. Any tools can be used for this competition eg Scorpion Engine, however please keep in mind that the theme is based around a game you would play on an arcade cabinet but made for the Amiga.
