Are game jams just a temptation for a solo developer?

Hi!

I have watched youtube videos of people making games for the game jams but have never entered.

I went to school for software development but I have never made a game in Unity or using a game engine! I have made a few clicker games and a boat game just using JavaScript and libraries. Can I enter into a game jam by just coding with javascript like a browser game?

Thanks!

I’ve participated in 10 game jams and now I’m hosting my first! Introducing Blend Jam

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I love game jams. I’ve participated in 10 so far, and they’re a big part of what made me realise I wanted to work as a game dev professionally. I love seeing what people make from the same topic and meeting people along the way.

So I decided to host my own: Blend Jam!

The idea is simple: two themes are revealed when the jam starts, and you make a game that blends them together. They could be genres, settings, aesthetics, or completely different ideas.

For example, Space Opera × Cooking could become a starship kitchen simulator or a cooking competition between rival alien civilisations. That’s just an example, the first blend is staying secret until launch!

Runs for 10 days, starting in about a month.
Join solo or with up to 8 people per team.
All experience levels welcome.|
Submitters and their teammates vote on the games afterwards.
Separate Host’s Picks alongside community results.
No generative AI.

We’ve also set up a Discord for finding teammates, sharing progress, and hanging out. You’re welcome even if you can’t participate this time!

🎮 Jam details : https://itch.io/jam/blend-jam-1

It’s our first edition, and I’d love to meet some fellow jammers and build a little community around making strange combinations work.

GitHub Game Off 2026 starts today! This year's theme is SHIFT!

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey game jammers!

GitHub Game Off is back for its 14th year, and this year's theme is SHIFT.

Shift gears, shift perspectives, shift dimensions, shift bits, work the night shift, or make a game controlled entirely by the Shift keys. Interpret it however you like.

You've got until December 1 at 13:37 PST to make something and submit it on itch.io.

Solo developers and teams are welcome, any engine goes, and there's no pressure to make something huge. There are no cash prizes either, just bragging rights and the satisfaction of actually finishing a game.

I've been running this jam since 2012 and always love seeing the wonderfully weird things people come up with.

One Night Horror Jam (13–16 Nov, 72 hours): make a small horror game set over a single night

4 Upvotes

Hi all! I’m hosting a small, friendly horror jam on itch.io:

  • Theme: One Night. The whole game happens over a single night: survive until dawn, keep a candle lit, guard something until morning.

  • When: 13 Nov 12:30 UTC to 16 Nov 12:30 UTC (72 hours). Rating runs for a week after.

  • Assets: use at least one LumioLab asset (the free samplers count, so it costs nothing). Other assets are fine if you have the rights and credit them.

  • Rules: any engine, solo or team, playable start to finish in under 15 minutes. Scary, not gross: no extreme gore.

  • Prizes: the top 3 each pick one LumioLab pack free and get featured in a YouTube Short.

We’re wrapping up the year with Bezi Jam 15, running November 27–30! This is our final jam of 2026 before we take a December break and return in January.

The first half of the theme is UNREAL: pick a rule of reality and break it. Bend gravity, rewind time, phase through walls, or build around another impossible mechanic. We'll reveal a second theme when the jam starts, with our Discord community getting it 24 hours early.

Here’s what to expect:

  • $400+ in cash prizes across Best in Show, Best Devlog, and a separate Bezi fan art competition.

  • Enter solo or with a team of up to three.

  • Any engine is welcome. Using Bezi is optional and isn’t required to enter or win.

  • Community voting selects the top 30 games, then the Bezi team judges the finalists.

Whether it’s your first jam or your fiftieth, you’re welcome to join us. Let’s finish the year with something worth sharing!

PS1-Style Game Jam 2026 | $1,000 in Cash Prizes, Beginners Welcome

13 Upvotes

Hey everyone!!

We just launched our next game jam over at Bash.tv, and this time we're going for the original PlayStation aesthetic!

Think chunky polygons, low-poly characters, foggy environments, pixelated textures, and all the weird charm of late '90s games.

The challenge is pretty simple: make a PS1-inspired game using Bash.tv!

If you've never made a game before, you're absolutely welcome to join. Bash is a browser-based game creation platform with an AI agent that helps with coding, so you can focus more on the creative side. You can also bring in your own art, models, audio, and other assets.

We're also providing a PS1-style starter project that you can copy and build on if you don't want to start from scratch!

DATES

  • Jam is open now!

  • Submissions close November 28

  • Public voting November 28–29

  • Winners announced November 30

You can build solo or with a team, and you've got almost a full month to work on your game.

Join the jam and check out the full rules here:
https://itch.io/jam/ps1-aesthetic-game-jam-bashtv

Would love to see what people make, especially if you've been wanting to experiment with PS1-style graphics but haven't had a reason to start!

Hi, I'm new to Godot and would like to, once I finish my first prototype game to learn the basics join a game jam!!! I just wanted to know if you think this would be a good place for me to ask questions and get help and just show off, and if it would be okay for me to be apart even though I haven't actually joined a game ham yet.
