Required theme:
Your game must have at least one Twitch integration that caan influence gameplay.
How you build that in is your call, chat could vote on outcomes, spawn events, control/spawn characters, or throw curveballs at the player.
This is the mandatory theme for prize eligibility.

To make this approachable regardless of skill level or engine, we're providing
free template projects for:

- Unreal

- Unity

- GameMaker

- Godot

- RPG Maker

 ready one week before the jam starts. A universal keyboard-simulator fallback is also available for other engines. You are also completely free to make your own, or use Twitch documentation, or other plugins.

A secondary theme will be announced at the start of the jam!
It's optional and won't affect prize eligibility, just an extra creative hook if you want it.

- Twitch API/integration setup can be done early, before the jam period, so you're not burning jam time on plumbing.

- Gameplay, art, and content development must happen during the official jam period (Oct 23 – Nov 1, 2026).

- Discord membership required to be eligible for prizes, and to access template projects + Twitch API help

- Eligibility: solo or team

- Conduct guidelines / community standards

- No use of generative AI for any part of the game assets, including code, art, music, narrative, etc. It may be used for organization, help, or ideas ONLY.
