Welcome to the Finale Game Jam!
Welcome, Sophomores! This is the culmination of your hard work. This private game jam is specifically designed for Year 2 students at the College of Creative Design and Entertainment Technology (ANT), Dhurakij Pundit University.
It’s time to push your technical boundaries, polish your workflows, and bring your most haunting digital visions to life.
The Theme: "Ghost in The Machine"
Modern technology is sleek, logical, and cold—but what happens when something else resides within the code? Whether it’s a sentient AI with a grudge, a literal spirit trapped in a motherboard, or an inexplicable glitch that defies the laws of physics, we want to see your interpretation of the supernatural meeting the digital.
The Constraints
To ensure a fair and focused competition, all entries must adhere to the following technical requirements:
- Engine: Unity (Any stable version)
- Dimension: 3D Games only. Prove your mastery of spatial design, lighting, and 3D assets.
- Platform: Windows (WebGL is optional but encouraged for easier playing).
- Assets: You may use third-party assets (Standard Assets, Kenney, etc.), but you must disclose them in your submission page. Original assets will be viewed much more favorably by the judges!
Rules & Guidelines
- Private Entry: This jam is restricted to DPU ANT Year 2 students.
- Team Size: 1–4 members per team.
- Originality: The core gameplay and logic must be developed during the jam period.
- Content Warning: While we love horror and mystery, please keep content within university guidelines (avoid excessive gore or inappropriate themes).
Criteria for Success
Your projects will be evaluated based on:
- Thematic Relevance: How well did you execute the "Ghost in The Machine" concept?
- Technical Execution: 3D implementation, optimization, and bug-free gameplay.
- Atmosphere: Use of sound, lighting, and VFX to create a compelling experience.
- Creativity: Unique mechanics or storytelling within the 3D space.
Note: This is a Private Jam. Please ensure you are logged into your itch.io account and use the access link provided by your instructors to join and submit.
Good luck, developers. Let's see what’s hiding in your machines!
