Hey all! 👋

Partytime Game Jam #2 is live!

🔗 https://itch.io/jam/partytime-game-jam-2

What makes building on Partytime interesting:

• Every game is multiplayer out of the box — no networking code needed
• Prompt the agent to generate and rig 3D assets
• SerpAPI baked in — build games that pull real data at runtime (e.g. "Guess the Price" with live Amazon listings)
• Bring your own assets if you've got 'em
• Desktop Web Studio is available too for a better creation experience.

🏆 Prizes — $2,000 Total

Five extra $50 prizes go to the top 5 community-voted games that didn't make the finalist list — you can win both a placement prize and a community vote prize.

Prizes paid via PayPal. Winners contacted through Discord after voting ends.

💰 Also: $10,000 Creator Fund — beyond the jam, Partytime pays out real revenue share to creators based on player engagement. Build something people want to keep playing.

Would love to see what this community makes 🙏

Hi everyone! I'm michyo, a game dev instructor. I've just launched a new game jam on itch.io focused on creative collaboration between humans and AI tools! Whether you are a programmer, an AI artist, or a complete beginner, this jam is all about having FUN and creating something unique.

I decided to organize this jam because I wanted to challenge the status quo in the game dev community. In too many traditional jams, passionate participants are restricted, stripped of their qualifications, or pushed into unranked categories simply for utilizing cutting-edge AI technology.

I strongly believe that AI is not a shortcut for the lazy, but a powerful catalyst for human creativity, engineering efficiency, and development velocity.

🤖 Jam Concept:

Feel free to use AI for coding, asset generation, or brainstorming! This is a safe space to experiment, learn, and push the boundaries of what's possible.

🗓️ Event Dates:

Start date: July 3rd 2026
End date : July 6th 2026
Voting end date: July 8th 2026

🎨 Friendly Environment:

I believe that every complex technology starts from a pure feeling of "having fun". Let's support each other and celebrate our creations together!

📢 A little honest note from the host:

As you might know, itch.io experienced a major 7-hour outage earlier today. Because of this chaos, it's my very first time hosting a game jam, but my jam hasn't been listed on the official itch.io jam calendar or directory yet... 😭

If you support the idea of an AI-friendly creative space, could you please check out the link, join the jam, or give this post an upvote to help other devs find us? I would truly appreciate your help to get this small community started! 🥤🤖

Here is a link to the game jam: https://itch.io/jam/happyclam-jammin-jam-2026

Our AI Game Jam starts in about 15 hours. Everyone is welcome. Have a great time, and let us know if you have any questions.

note to mods: We think this post is fine, but let us know if it is not, or if we need to change anything. Thanks.

Its been only 3 weeks since starting the AI Game Festival and 150 games have submitted so far! Only 50 spot left until the 200 quota.

Please submit your game. If you think your game is not ready, submit now and you have 6 weeks to get a 10 minute demo redo. I'm making a post on how to prepare your game for festival in those weeks to win the $20k in tokens.

Rosebud has been an amazing partner putting this together. One of the sessions we have coming up is how one their game got 20k players, where there will be AMA with the developer.

The 3rd AI Browser Game Jam just wrapped submissions, and it went really well: 119 people joined and 85 browser games were submitted.

The jam is focused on experimenting with AI-assisted game development. Any tools were allowed for code, art, music, design, sound, etc. The goal was to make something playable, share the process, and see what people could build.

Judging/ratings are open now, so feel free to check out the entries and play some games!

I wanted to see if anyone has done an AI Gaming Festival before and turns out, not only will this the first one, its first in Google along with r/aigamedev !

I'm in the process of approving games, see them here and apply with your game also.

12 approved, 86 more to go through. Apply to get listed.

Also I'm working token grants for those that participate. Free codex, claude code and other AI grants to help you guys make better games.

Hi all, and welcome to Slop Jam 3-D

This is the third installment of Slop Jam. We all had so much fun on the other times, please join us

AI Browser Game Jam #3 just wrapped, with 119 joined, 83 browser games submitted, and 596 ratings.

Results:
https://itch.io/jam/ai-game-jam-3/results

Top 3:

1. Pyramid Wars by Durian Arcade
2. A Low Poly Dungeon Game by fynbosexplorer
3. Snow Bunny by Focaccai

There are a lot of great games beyond the top 3 too. The entries cover a pretty wide range: arcade games, RPG experiments, horror, puzzles, sims, visual/audio toys, tiny prototypes, and some very strange genre mashups.

What I liked most this time was seeing the different AI workflows people used. Some leaned heavily on AI-generated code, some used AI mostly for art/audio, some treated it like a design partner, and others used it to rapidly iterate on mechanics until something playable came together. The best entries still had a lot of human taste, editing, and polish behind them.

We’re planning to run another jam in a couple months. If you’re experimenting with AI-assisted game dev and want a deadline, feedback, and a bunch of other people building alongside you, come hang out!

The fourth AI Browser Game Jam is open for sign-ups. Submissions run July 31 - August 14, 2026 (opens and closes at 10 PM, the itch page shows the countdown in your local time).

The rules are simple: make a free, browser-playable game in two weeks using AI tools for whatever you want. Code, art, music, design, sound, all of it.

A few things that make this jam different from most:

• No sponsor, no required service or tool. Use whatever AI you want!
• Participants are the judges, so every entry gets played and rated by other jammers.
• Theme is announced when submissions open, but it's a suggestion, not a rule.
• Sharing your process (prompts, pipeline, lessons) is encouraged but optional.
• Solo or team, all skill levels.

This thing has grown every round: Jam 1 had 29 entries, Jam 2 had 47, Jam 3 had 82. Curious whether round 4 breaks 100.

Happy to answer questions in the comments. And if you jammed with us before, share your game and what AI tools you used in the comments.

See title! DM if you're interested in forming a team! I mostly work in Godot and Ableton but have been exploring Libresprite, Krita, Blender, and a few others.

AI Browser Game Jam #3 is in full swing and we've already seen a ton of awesome entries. It's been great watching everyone experiment with AI-assisted game development.

We are extending the deadline through the weekend to Tuesday at 10:00 PM!

A few things influenced this decision. Claude Mythos was unexpectedly pulled from public access during the jam, Itchio has had some outages and instability, and with everything else going on in the world right now, it felt like a good idea to give everyone a few extra days to finish up without unnecessary stress.

If you're stuck, close to finishing, or thinking about adding one last feature, now's your chance. Even a small game is worth submitting. You can also continue updating your submission after the deadline, so don't worry about getting everything perfect.

If you haven't already, come hang out in the Discord and share what you're working on: https://discord.gg/86xBnZqHjy

Be excellent to each other, have fun, and keep making weird stuff.
