Welcome to the T-LANDER Game Jam of September 2026, hosted by T-LANDER STUDIOS!
Developers, artists, musicians, designers, and game enthusiasts are invited to challenge themselves to create a game in just 3 DAYS!
Whether you're an experienced developer or you're making your very first game, you're welcome to participate. Work solo or team up, get creative, and most importantly—have fun!
Before the jam begun, the community voted on the official theme. YOU MUST JOIN THE DISCORD TO VOTE AND PARTICIPATE: https://discord.gg/tFXyDWMCqh
The winning theme voted by you guys is:
⚽ Balls
interpretations of the winning theme are encouraged!
You have three days to create a playable game inspired by the winning theme.
Your game can be made using any game engine, framework, or programming language you want.
Unity? Go for it. Godot? Absolutely. Unreal? Sure! GameMaker? RPG Maker? Scratch? Something you built yourself?
If you can make a game with it, you can use it.
Games may be created individually or as part of a team.
Premade assets are allowed!
You may use assets that you created yourself as well as free, purchased, licensed, or otherwise legally available assets.
This includes things such as:
You are responsible for making sure you have permission to use anything included in your game.
Generative AI cannot be used to create content for your game.
AI-generated artwork, textures, 3D models, animations, music, sound effects, voices, dialogue, stories, or other creative game content are NOT ALLOWED.
However, AI tools ARE allowed for programming and debugging assistance.
You may use AI to:
✅ Help write code ✅ Debug code ✅ Troubleshoot programming problems ✅ Explain errors or programming concepts
You may NOT use AI to:
❌ Generate artwork or textures ❌ Generate music or sound effects ❌ Generate voices ❌ Generate 3D models or animations ❌ Generate dialogue or story content ❌ Generate other creative assets
Participants may be asked to disclose which AI tools were used and how they were used.
Keep your submission appropriate for a general audience.
Sexually explicit, pornographic, or otherwise NSFW content is not permitted.
Your game must incorporate the winning theme in a recognizable way.
How you interpret that theme is entirely up to you!
You can brainstorm and plan after the theme is announced, but development of your actual submission should begin when the jam officially starts on September 28, 2026.
This is a game jam. Experiment. Try something weird. Make something funny. Learn something new.
Don't worry if your game isn't perfect by the deadline. A small finished game is an accomplishment!
Games will have the opportunity to receive awards and big prizes for their achievements during the jam.
Awards include:
🏆 1st Place - Award certificate + $20 and Publishing Opportunity with T-LANDER STUDIOS
🥈 2nd Place - Award certificate + $10 and a free random steam code
🥉 3rd Place - Award certificate + $5
The 1st Place winner will be offered the opportunity to work with T-LANDER STUDIOS to develop their game-jam submission into a polished commercial release.
If both parties choose to move forward, T-LANDER STUDIOS and the winning developer/team will enter into a separate publishing agreement covering development responsibilities, revenue sharing, ownership, distribution, marketing, and other terms.
Winning the jam does not automatically transfer ownership of the game or its intellectual property to T-LANDER STUDIOS.
Everyone!
Beginners are welcome.
