You're not the HERO!
Forget saving the world—you’re in the shadows this time. Maybe you’re the sidekick, the shopkeeper, the villain’s intern, or the bard who never gets invited to the final battle. The spotlight’s elsewhere… but your story matters. # 💡 Game Ideas: - Sidekick’s Day Off – While the hero is out questing, keep the town from falling apart. - The Villain’s Henchman – Execute your boss’s evil plans… or secretly sabotage them. - Potion Shop Panic – Fulfill bizarre hero requests before they storm off to battle. - Clean-Up Crew – Repair cities after epic hero-vs-villain showdowns. - Quest Denial – Trick heroes into abandoning their quest so you can take the treasure. The challenge: create a game where you aren’t the chosen one—but still play a vital role in the adventure.

About This Jam

Monthly Game Jam @ Uniday Studio

On the first weekend of every month, Uniday Studio hosts an open game jam for creators of all skill levels. This month marks a special milestone—we’re kicking things up a notch with the official launch of our brand-new website, just in time for the jam. Get ready—it’s going to be epic.

📍 Where?

Right here—completely online and 100% free—on our new platform.

The day before the jam starts, a dedicated forum category will open, giving you space to:

  • Form or find a team
  • Ask questions
  • Share updates on your progress

🎮 How to Join

  1. Create an account and hit the "Join" button on this page.
  2. Come back when the jam begins to discover the secret theme.
  3. Build your game and submit it through our Student Games section during the jam period.
  4. When submitting, check the option to register your game for the jam.

🎯 The Theme

When the jam kicks off, a mystery theme will be revealed right here. Your game must relate to it in some way—but interpretation is entirely up to you. Be bold, be creative—there are no wrong answers.

💡 The Golden Rule

Have fun, push your creativity, and make something you’re proud of.

Rules & Guidelines

You are totally free to create the game in any way you want. Just make sure that you own all the rights to everything that you use in the game. Do not create anything that is illegal, controversial, and not safe for work. Also make sure that you don't submit a game that you've already made before to this Jam, which means that the majority of your game should be made within the Jam period.
