WELCOME TO WE BE JAMMIN #10

After a short break in April, it’s finally time to fire things back up — We Be Jammin #10 is officially here.

What started as a small community experiment has grown into something genuinely special, and every jam continues to showcase more growth, creativity, and confidence from the developers participating.

Whether you’re a returning jammer or thinking about joining for the first time, this jam is about building, learning, experimenting, and growing together as creators.

THEME – “ONE MAN’S TRASH…”

What one person discards, another might treasure.

This theme is all about perspective, value, reuse, and transformation. Maybe it’s literal garbage turned into something useful. Maybe it’s forgotten memories, abandoned places, broken systems, or people the world has given up on.

The interpretation is entirely up to you.

Mechanical, narrative, emotional, comedic, dark, wholesome — however you choose to approach it, we want to see what you find in the pile.

One man’s trash… is another dev’s game jam theme.
