The fire burns again.

After the first Campfire Creators Jam brought together developers from across itch.io, the challenge returns for a bigger second edition:

🔥 Campfire Creators Jam #2 – Second Flame

Create a game where the campfire is central to the gameplay, atmosphere, story, or survival.

This can be:

• survival • horror • cozy storytelling • resource management • puzzle • strategy • anything your imagination ignites

The provided animated campfire sprite pack must appear at least once in your game.

Returning participants from Jam #1 are welcome to continue, polish, or expand their previous projects into a stronger final version.

New developers are also fully welcome to join and start fresh.

This edition is about building a stronger flame.
