The UMass Game Dev Club's October 2025 Fall Game Jam! The Theme is: Tools!

The game jam will go from October 10th at 6pm to October 13th at 6pm.

You'll have 72 hours to make a game from scratch! You can use any game engine, and feel free to recruit friends even if they don't attend UML!

The theme will be randomly chosen from the list of themes we created in our meetings. It will be announced at the moment the game jam starts.

After the game jam is over, you'll be able to vote for your favorite submission! This is true for everyone, even if you did not participate in the jam itself. Voting will start when the game jam ends and will close on October 19th at 5pm (where the results will be discussed in our weekly meeting!)

This jam is for fun, since there is no monetary reward for this jam the rules are a little looser. For this jam, revisions are allowed after the initial submission, please use this only to fix bugs and not add substantial changes.

A game jam is a great way to sharpen your skills in coding and art, as well as to just have some fun making games! Even if you've never made a game before, we highly encourage you to participate!

Please do not cheat the voting system by creating multiple itch.io accounts, the use of Generative AI for any visuals for the game will result in a disqualification.
