I don’t have any white text 

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Hi everyone. Since last month, I posted this game jam and it was never listed on the game jam calendar. I reached out to support, received my ticket, a mod then told me to “wait for the admins to review it.” However, I discovered that some people on the same situation have been waiting for six months with zero results. The same mod advised me to promote my game jam here. So, I decided to post it anyway. Let's celebrate this pride month where no one has to give us permission to imagine and create something beautiful together. I won’t give up and I will continue raising my voice for all of us because this game jam is OURS NOT THEIRS.

Against all the odds and no matter where the limitations come from, we'll keep promoting because our colors keep us together. Love you all.

Join the Queer Communist Game Jam, an international online game jam organized independently from Cuba, without government or institutional support. The jam is dedicated to experimental games, interactive works and playable prototypes that imagine queer, collective, anti-capitalist and non-normative futures.

Rather than focusing only on finished games, this jam invites participants to use games as a space for imagination, solidarity, critique and experimentation. We are interested in works that explore queer life, collective care, class struggle, memory, desire, chosen families, rural and peripheral experiences, post-capitalist dreams, failure, tenderness and rage.

The jam welcomes polished games, rough prototypes, visual novels, interactive poems, tabletop games, playable archives, text games and unfinished but meaningful attempts. Anyone can participate, with or without previous experience, and all accepted submissions will become part of a shared online archive hosted through the itch.io jam page.

Participants may respond to the main theme or to one or more of these optional prompts:

• Collective care
• Abolition of work
• Chosen family
• Queer rural memory
• Love after capitalism
• The archive as a weapon
• Ghosts of failed revolutions
• Bodies that refuse productivity
• Games as mutual aid
• The future belongs to the tired

The theme can be approached politically, emotionally, humorously, poetically, critically or experimentally. Participants are encouraged to interpret it freely.

At the moment, the jam does not have official prizes, funding or institutional support. However, we are open to building a small pool of community-based support for participants. If you are an individual, collective, organization, platform, publisher, school, studio or cultural space and would like to offer something to participants, please contact us through Discord.

1. Your submission must respond to the theme or prompt of the jam.
2. You can work alone or in a team.
3. You can use any engine, tool or format.
4. Previously made assets are allowed if you have the legal right to use them.
5. You may start from an old idea, but the submitted work should be created or significantly transformed during the jam period.
6. Submissions must not include racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ableist or fascist content.
7. NSFW content must be clearly marked.
8. Participants keep full ownership of their work.
9. The organizers may share screenshots, trailers, links, titles and creator names for promotion, documentation and archival purposes, always crediting the creators.
10. Late submissions may be accepted for the archive.

We are looking for LGBTQIA+, queer, leftist, experimental and community-based streamers who would like to support the jam by playing and sharing submitted games. This can be done through livestreams, short videos, recorded gameplay, community showcases, interviews with participants or informal reactions to the projects created during the jam.

The goal is not to create a competitive showcase, but to help the games reach more people and give visibility to creators working from queer, anti-capitalist and experimental perspectives.

Streamers interested in collaborating can contact us through Discord.

The Queer Communist Game Jam is currently looking for people, collectives, institutions, platforms, studios, schools, publishers, cultural spaces and community organizations that want to support the project.

Support can take many forms. We welcome help with communication, streaming, writing, translation, moderation, workshops, documentation, mentorship, community outreach, institutional connections, tools, software keys, funding, micro-grants, scholarships, prizes or other opportunities for participants.

This section is an invitation to anyone who feels connected to the spirit of the jam and wants to help build a more accessible, experimental and collective space for queer, anti-capitalist and non-normative game-making.

The jam is organized independently from Cuba, without institutional funding, and any form of support can make a real difference.

If you want to collaborate, offer resources, sponsor a prize, stream submitted games, organize an activity, write about the jam or connect us with a community, please contact us through Discord.

okay, reviewing the forum I discovered you gave the same answer to another person that was waiting 6 MONTHS with a ticket. I have lost all the hope and trust on your message now, please put me in contact with your admins, not you, the admins, or my other option is to send lots of mails asking for an answer. Have a nice day.

This is frustrating and depressing! What ever happened with that ticket though? Do they ever reply? Do they really check and listen to user's concerns?

Hi! Love your game!! I did a review post on our game jam instagram account. I was trying to find you and tag you but didnt find you there. You may check here>https://www.instagram.com/p/DZS7wvUEXkB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlOD...

yes, I will change it and let you know! which one you recommend??

Nope, I tried both on web and phone. Nothing works... and I use Mac... could it be the problem??

Exactly and I don't want to feel it is because of my topic and therefore is  being censored!!! and thats soooooooo sad and disappointing!!!

Thanks but at least I deserve to know why and if its something I can solve, I will do it!

Hi everyone!

I’ve been checking out the games from Fuck Capitalism Jam and I’m honestly very excited by what people have made here. There are so many strange, political, funny, angry, tender, and necessary games. I’ll slowly be sharing some of them through the Instagram account of the jam I’m organizing, because I’d love more people to discover this work. To tag everyone properly, it would be great to know your Instagram or Twitter/X profiles too. You may reach us at our socials on the jam page. Here’s an example of the first post I made: https://www.instagram.com/p/DZS7wvUEXkB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlOD...

Also, if you want to keep making or exploring games in this spirit, you’re warmly invited to join the Queer Communist Game Jam 2026. It’s an online jam for queer, leftist, anti-capitalist, experimental, weird, unfinished, and politically uncomfortable games.. and yes, you can do something very funny and hilarious!! But it’s not a closed space. It’s open to imagining a genre that doesn’t exist yet, no matter what ideology or background you come from. You are all welcome, comrades!!! hahaha

Dates: August 1–31, 2026

Hi! I tried to open the game from itch.io, but I’m getting this Godot error: “Couldn’t load project data… Is the .pck file missing?” It seems the .pck file may be missing or not matching the executable name. Could you check the uploaded build?

I’m writing because I published my game jam on May 10, but it still does not appear on the itch.io jam calendar. I also emailed support a week ago and received this confirmation: “Your request (371895) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.” However, I have not received any further reply yet.

Jam name: Queer Communist Game Jam 2026

I’m worried because the calendar is essential for visibility. I have been promoting the jam outside itch.io, but that is not enough, especially for a small independent project organized from Cuba with limited resources. So far 21 people have joined, and it has been very difficult to reach people without the support of the calendar.

I also want to clarify that this is not an improvised or abandoned jam. The project has received support and visibility from organizations such as Gray Area Foundation for the Arts, a San Francisco-based institution working at the intersection of art, technology, culture and social impact, and The New Centre for Research & Practice, an international educational platform for theory, philosophy, art, media and experimental research. Their support matters because this jam is trying to create a serious space for experimental, queer, leftist and anti-capitalist games, not just a casual event.

Could you please help me understand if I did something wrong, or if there is anything missing from the jam page that is preventing it from appearing on the calendar?

Thank you so much for your help.

Hello!

I'm Mizu, film director and editor from Havana, Cuba. I have experience editing works for television, film, marketing, promotions, video clips, etc. I'm here interested in expanding my work to video games, since I've always been fascinated by them and since I'm not a programmer nor have any skills to create them... I offer what I know: Editing.

If you are interested in having a game trailer you can dm me without problems and I will be glad to help you. I'm doing the work for free. Well... it depends on what you ask for. But if you are an independent developer who needs help, I'm here.

In order not to feel that my effort is in vain I created a profile on buymeacoffee for those who want to support me. Here I'll leave you the link and I repeat: I'm making game trailers for free.

Feel free to dm me on discord... is: mizumiaw

Hello from Queer Communist Game Jam! I want to let you know if any Fxck Capitalism Jam streamers want to be part of our Jam as well. All are welcome! But we encourage a friendly and diverse participation of streamers from different parts of the world, ideally from communist or ex-communist countries who are part of the LGBTQ+ community and belong to minorities that deserve visibility. Feel free to request/contact us to be part of this list. Contact here: @queercomgames

Don't be shy and enter a different and daring Game Jam. The itch.io team hasn't put it on the calendar yet, so if you can help spread the word that would be great. It doesn't matter if you're a communist or not, it's just a theme. And no, it's not tied to any government or political movement. I'm organizing it and the idea is to see how creative you can get with such complex themes. I hope you create fun games!

///Dear comrades, we give you a sincere salutation and welcome to the first edition of the Queer Communist Game Jam, organized from CUBA to the WORLD. We invite all independent video game developers to collaborate with the intention of elaborating an almost non-existent record/archive of this kind; communist queer-themed games. We want to give visibility to those minorities and people hidden in their caves that could feel identified with a space like this. We will embrace and support you in every way our society allows us to. The Game Jam will be available from June 28^th (International LGBT Pride Day) until July 26^th (Movimiento 26 de julio).///

ENTER THE GAME JAM HERE!

From what I've been able to read if the jam lasts more than 2 months it probably won't appear on the calendar because it takes up space. And also the mods have to review it before and approve it. Has your game jam been released yet?

how long does it take to approved it? i'm concerned about the one im hosting because its a longer game jam... from june 28th to november 5th :"u
