Winter 2024 PenguinJam

Hosted by puzzlingggg

Welcome to the first PenguinJam on the site!

This will be a reoccurring event that will appear every now and then. If you miss your chance this time, come back in the future to join another!

(We originally did our very first PenguinJam elsewhere.)

The PenguinJam is active!

The PenguinJam theme is:
Too Much

Some examples to get you started: there are too many cars speeding, too many presents under a tree, too many risks, or too many people to serve in a restaurant.

Create and upload projects based on this theme before December 24th at 2:00 PM (Eastern Time)!

Submit projects to PenguinJam by using the tag #penguinjam2 in the title or notes.

What is a Game Jam?

How our PenguinJam will work is:

We will reveal a theme

You need to create a PenguinMod project based on a theme.

You can make a game that relates to the theme we give you in any way. It should be a big part of your game's design.

Submit a project

You need to upload your theme-related project to PenguinMod using the tag #penguinjam2 in the title or notes.

Make sure to upload your projects by December 24th at 2:00 PM (Eastern Time)! Do not upload them any later than that.

We will rank your projects

Staff members and developers will go through all of the published projects and check out what everyone did with the theme.

The more creative your interpretation of the theme is, the better.

However, your games still need to be fun to play in general.

We will give out rewards

We will choose the top 5 games, and the best creators will get badges!

Badges will be awarded over time. Please do not pressure us into giving your badge ASAP as we might be busy with other things.

Event Participant will be awarded to everyone (or mostly everyone, we likely won’t count low quality projects.)

Event Winner will be awarded to the creators of the Top 5 Projects.

PenguinJam: Bronze will be awarded to the creator of the third place project.

PenguinJam: Silver will be awarded to the creator of the second place project.

PenguinJam: Gold will be awarded to the creator of the first place project.

PenguinJam: Obsidian will be awarded to creators that placed Top 3 in a previous PenguinJam, and then placed Top 3 in this PenguinJam.

PenguinJam: Platinum will be awarded to creators that placed Top 3 in 2 previous PenguinJams, and then placed Top 3 in this PenguinJam.
