Welcome to the Aristos Interactive Game Jam #8!

Theme

space-theme-cover

Venture beyond. Explore the unknown. Reach for the stars.

The theme for this jam is SPACE.

Beyond our world lies an endless frontier.

Chart distant planets. Pilot a battered starship. Build a colony among the stars. Drift alone through the void. Encounter strange new life, wage war across the galaxy, or simply try to make it home.

But space doesn't have to mean the stars. Explore distance, emptiness, confinement, or the space between things. Interpret the theme however you like and take it somewhere unexpected.

Where will SPACE take you?

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.
