The upcoming Gamedev.js Jam 2026 starting April 13th will have a few optional challenges – the first we’re announcing is the Open Source one where you need to provide your source code on GitHub to participate.
Provide the source code of your entry on GitHub in a readable form to have a chance of being featured in a dedicated blog post on the GitHub Blog.
We might, or might not end up with such blog post eventually as after three years between 2022-2024, the 2025 edition didn’t get it. Fingers crossed, I’ll do everything to have it published this year though!
The prizes are the same as in the previous edition:
- 5 × GitHub Copilot Pro for individuals for 12 months
We’ll have a new expert picking the best games this year: Stacey Haffner.
She’s the Director of Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office and leads game developer advocacy, so you’re in good hands. The whole challenge is still under the watchful eye of our very own Lee Reilly from GitHub though.
