Wasteland Special Polish Edition

This special edition of Wasteland is entirely focused on refinement, iteration, and elevation.

You're looking for the regular Wasteland Jam? Look here: https://itch.io/jam/prizes-wasteland-jam-02

The goal of this jam is to give developers the opportunity to finish, polish, and meaningfully improve their previous Wasteland jam entries. This is not about starting from scratch, but about pushing an existing project closer to its full potential.

Focus Areas

  • Game feel, balance, and usability
  • UI, visuals, audio, and performance polish
  • Refinement or expansion of core mechanics
  • Additional content, narrative depth, or QoL improvements
  • Bug fixes and feedback integration

Rules

  • You may continue development on your original Wasteland entry
  • You may rework rushed or incomplete systems
  • You may enhance atmosphere and presentation
  • You may NOT submit an unrelated new project
  • You may NOT radically change the core identity of the game

Winner & Prizes

There will be ONE SINGLE WINNER.
Prizes: OCCULT Audio Engine + My support for any audio for the project (SFX, OST, etc) if needed.

The organizer will personally promote the winning game for one full week across:

  • Reddit
  • itch.io
  • Game dev communities

The winner will also receive a special badge on the official Wasteland Discord server.

If your game deserves a second pass, deeper polish, or a more confident final form — this is your chance.
