Hey folks!
As promised, it’s time to announce the 10th official MakeCode Arcade Game Jam! The theme for this jam is Cozy Games!
What is a cozy game, you might ask? Well, it’s any game that focuses on creating a relaxing atmosphere rather than a stressful one. Cozy games are often about building things, exploring the world, or expressing yourself instead of limited lives, time limits, or difficulty. Cozy games can also be any game that just has a real cozy vibe! Think warm mugs of hot cocoa, friendly conversations with neighbors, soft pastel colors… you get the idea!
Does that mean your game can’t feature any action? Of course it doesn’t! As long as your game has that cozy vibe we’re looking for, you can have as much action as you want. Just be prepared to defend the coziness of your game!
Unlike our mini game jams, we will be picking winners for this jam and their games will be featured on the MakeCode Arcade homepage. They’ll also get the coveted game jam winner badge which they can display on their profile for everyone to see. The game jam will run from November 18, 2024 to January 1, 2025 so you have plenty of time to work on your game!
