Hey devs! Welcome to The Infinity Challenge 2025, the third chapter in my legendary game jam series. This isn’t just another jam—it’s an infinite adventure where your creativity can truly shine. Your mission? Create a game that keeps players engaged forever, no matter how long they play. Simple, right? Well, not exactly—this is where the challenge lies.
To ensure fairness and prevent early development or unfair means of any sort, a compulsory theme will be announced at the start of the jam. This theme will guide your creative process and ensure everyone starts on an equal footing.
Gear up for 4 days of non-stop creativity, collaboration, and coding. Think you’ve got what it takes to create something endless? I'm sure you do. Let's make some magic happen.
The Infinity Challenge runs for 100 hours, giving you just enough time to design, develop, and deploy your never-ending masterpiece. We’ll kick things off at dawn on 16 May 2025 05:30 AM GMT+09:30. Development and submission time lasts till 20 May 2025 09:30 AM GMT+05:30 and wrap up on 24 May 2025 09:30 AM GMT+05:30.
- Team or Solo: Work alone or bring together a team (up to 5 members) to maximize your creative potential.
- 100-Hour Dev Time: Games must be developed entirely within the 100-hour period—anything started beforehand will be ineligible.
- Original Content Only: No AI-generated assets or pre-existing work allowed (unless it's properly attributed open-source). We want your originality on full display!
- Compulsory Theme: A theme will be announced at the start of the jam to prevent early development or unfair means of any sort.
- Endless Gameplay: The game should offer infinite gameplay, or at least feel like it could go on forever; don’t forget, that’s part of the fun!
- Tools & Engines: Use any tools or engines that get your creativity flowing—whatever works for you!
- Submission Deadline: Make sure to submit your game by 20 May 2025 09:30 AM GMT+05:30 to be included in the judging process.
Once the submission deadline is over, you’ll rate each other’s games based on these six criteria:
- Fun/Game Design: How fun is the game? Are the mechanics smooth and engaging?
- Graphics: How visually appealing and polished are the visuals?
- Audio: How immersive and fitting is the sound design?
- Theme Relevance: How well does the game interpret and incorporate the theme revealed at the start?
- Endless Gameplay: Does the game live up to the endless challenge?
- Overall: Your general impression of the game as a complete package.
