WELCOME TO THE SHADER JAM 2025!

Make a game, fit the theme, and most importantly have fun!

This jams focus is shaders, feel free to do something as simple as a hologram shader, something as complicated as a ray tracer or a toon shader, or anything in between! A theme will be revealed at the start of the jam, feel free to use it for extra points or completely ignore it.

Content policy

You can use any free or paid assets/tools that you have the right to use. You may not use generative AI of any type for your game. But if you can it's always better to make your own assets or team with someone who can do it for you (will earn you some points in originality if nothing else).

Voting

During the voting period you may fix bugs but not add features, the original build must be available and new updates should be clearly labeled.

The seven voting criteria are:

Overall -> how did you like the game?

Theme -> how well did the game fit the theme?

Originality -> how original was the idea?

Graphics -> how good were the graphics?

Audio -> how good was the audio?

Shaders -> how good were the shaders?

Narative -> how well was the story/narative of the game told?

Rules

Most of the shaders must be made by you or a team member.
