Dojo G̶a̶m̶e̶ Vibe Jam is here and starts on 6/20!!
Join us for a special vibe-coding edition of the Dojo Game Jam! Teams will come together for 3 days to build games on the open-source, provable Dojo Engine, and compete for a slice of a $25,000 prize pool.
This Game Jam will have two tracks: full games, and game mods.
- The Full Game Track is for large or existing teams who want to ship full games or major features.
- The Modding Track is for small teams and solo devs who want to get their feet wet by modding existing games.
We have a $25,000 prize pool to award to projects. $15,000 will go to projects in the full game track, and $10,000 will go to projects in the modding track.
Please note: there will be no airdrops for participation in the Game Jam. Prizes will only be awarded to teams that build excellent projects that demonstrate the unique capabilities of the Dojo engine.
