Hey everyone! The moment we've all been impatiently waiting for is finally here! Dusk’s 1st Jam has officially started and will run from today, August 1st 00:00 UTC, until August 11th 23:59 UTC.

The theme we’ve chosen for the occasion is... Creativity! 🧑‍🎨

This summer we want to help players unleash all of their imagination with the theme of "Creativity". Be it through playing in unique scenarios, experimenting with unconventional mechanics, giving life to mythical creatures, or interacting through drawing and images.

Focus on the aesthetics of the visuals and build a world of colors, shapes, and original designs: players should breathe creativity as soon as they step into the game 🎨 🏞️ Ensure that the game-play involves building, crafting, molding, to trigger the players’ creativity and stimulate their inventiveness 🏗️ 🪵 🧲 🚧

Seeking inspiration? Exploring these games might help getting you started:

• Drawing Games: Pictionary, Gartic-phone, Draw Something, Scribblenauts, Iconary, Quick Draw!
• Building Games: Minecraft, Townscaper, Terraria, Trove, Roblox
• Factory Games: Satisfactory, Learning Factory, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, Desynced
• Sim Games: Spore, Sims, Incredible Machine, World of Goo, Dig This!

Look at the above titles as simple suggestions to make your mind take off, rather than constraints for your ideas: this time we chose a fairly open theme because we want your creation to embody the spirit of artistic freedom and inventive game-play 💭

No matter your level of experience: your participation and your unique ideas are what is going to take to make Dusk's 1st Jam unforgettable 🥳

Tech-demos and other open-source games can be used as the starting point for your jam submission! 🙂

We wish all of you the best luck ad we cannot wait to see the amazing games you'll come up with! Happy Jamming everyone! 😊 🙏

Have you ever thought about writing a multiplayer game, but the task seems too daunting? What if networking was already done and you could just focus on a small fun game? Dusk makes it easy to build multiplayer games quickly with a huge player base across regional servers.

To celebrate our move to Dusk we're going to run a mini game jam. We've loved what everyone has brought to the table over previous jams and really want more of it!

❓WHAT: In this jam you can use any JavaScript based technology, from React to Pixi to Pure JS and everything in between. Here's how it will run:

• Theme will be announced on the first day of the jam
• Games should be started and submitted in the jam timeframe.
• Any art or assets can be used - existing or created for the jam.

📆 WHEN: The jam will start at 00:01 UTC on August 1st and run until 23:59 UTC on August 11th. You'll have 11 days to build and release a multiplayer game on Dusk.

📩 SUBMITTING: To submit simply release the game to Dusk by the final date and let us know on Discord that its for the jam.

🎖️ WINNERS: Three winners will be selected based on play time of the game in the week starting 18th August. These lucky folks will be receiving a selection of sick Dusk merch.

Remember this is all about creating something from end to end in the time period. Scope carefully and focus on the fun!

As always we can't wait to see what you build and if we're here to help! More information on how to build and publish a game is available in the documentation.
