Welcome to the 3rd Tiny RPG Jam!

This jam celebrates the latest updates to Tiny RPG Studio, as well as an exciting milestone: over 3,000 views on itch.io!

Thank you to everyone who has played, created, shared feedback, and supported the project. This project wouldn't exist without you!


Theme

This time, the theme will remain a secret until the jam officially begins.

Keeping the theme hidden adds a bit of excitement, encourages creativity, and ensures that entries are created during the jam period itself.

There are many ways to interpret and incorporate the theme into your project:

  • Story: Create a narrative inspired by the theme. Tiny RPG Studio is perfect for atmospheric adventures and walking simulators.
  • Gameplay: Use the engine's variables, logic gates, and event systems to build a unique mechanic around the theme.
  • Art: Create a playable art piece using the built-in sprite editor and world-building tools.
  • Everything: Combine story, gameplay, visuals and music to create a little masterpiece!

How prominently the theme appears in your game is entirely up to you. It can be the foundation of the experience or simply a subtle inspiration. The goal is to have fun, experiment, and create something you're proud of.

This is a ranked jam, and entries will be judged on:

  • Theme Interpretation & Creativity
  • Story
  • Art/Music
  • Level Design

What is Tiny RPG Studio?

Tiny RPG Studio (TRS) is a lightweight game engine focused on creating role-playing experiences.

Whether you want to make a short narrative journey, a relaxing walking simulator, or a complete RPG adventure with villages, NPCs, monsters, bosses, items, progression systems, puzzles, and branching events, TRS gives you the tools to do it within its unique compact 3x3 open-world structure.

Despite its feature set, the engine was designed to be approachable and intuitive. Beginners can quickly start building games, while experienced creators can take advantage of advanced systems such as variables, logic gates, progression mechanics, and interactive events.

TRS is also fully mobile-friendly and includes one of its most unique features: instant game sharing.

You can export your project as an HTML game for itch.io, or generate a shareable URL containing your entire game. Simply send the link to a friend and they can start playing immediately.
