Winter MelonJam 2025

What is a game jam, you might ask? It's just a hackathon dedicated to games specifically, and they're loads of fun! You don't need any experience at all-- even just following a few tutorials, with your own twists, is okay! Winter MelonJam 2025 will take place December 26th 10:00 AM PDT (December 26th 5 PM UTC), and the game jam will end on December 29th 9:59 AM PDT (December 29th 4:59 PM UTC). Our core mission is to transform game development from a niche topic into something everything can learn to appreciate. As such, we HIGHLY encourage high schoolers and other novices to join this game jam! We will be offering dedicated prizes for these contestants as well as hosting workshops for beginners to create a welcoming environment. Important -- PLEASE READ! Our game jam is being hosted on Itch, and we will not accept submissions from Devpost. Benefits Everyone who submits a project will be given access to benefits worth thousands of dollars. We also provide many different prizes to the winners of this game jam, so be sure to sign up! Questions If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask on our Discord server! Otherwise, we cannot wait to see all of the exciting ideas you have to offer! Good luck!
