Welcome to the Aristos Interactive Game Jam #2!

Theme


The theme for this jam is Minimum Viable Gameplay Loop. 

A gameplay loop is the core sequence of actions players repeat, what they do, why they do it, and what they get from it. A minimum viable product is the simplest version of something that still proves it works. Combine the two, and you get the smallest possible version of a game that is still genuinely playable and engaging. 

Description

Step into the arena and bring an idea to life!

This beginner-friendly jam is all about creating a fun, playable game you’re proud to show off. Over the course of the weekend, challenge yourself to build a simple but engaging gameplay loop, something that feels good, something that exists because you made it.

All tools are welcome.
AI assistance is welcome.
Premade assets are welcome.

What matters most is finishing a playable experience and learning along the way.

At the end of the jam, we will play some of the game entries and upload a video to YouTube celebrating your hard work!

Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
