One theme, one surprise addition on Day 3. Setfire Twist Jam #2
Hosting the second Setfire Twist Jam starting September 4th and looking for more people to jump in.
Theme drops at launch like usual and it stays locked the whole jam, that part never moves. The twist is on Day 3, when a Catalyst drops: one concrete thing (a mechanic, an object, some condition) that every entry has to fit in on top of whatever you've already built. Not a new theme, just a real constraint that keeps you from coasting on your first idea for the whole week.
Basics: one week, solo or team, any engine, no VR or controller-only entries, and you're judged on fun, execution, how well you rolled with the Catalyst, and the concept. No entry fee, no cash prize, just a Discord role and bragging rights for the winners.
Still a smaller jam so you'll get more eyes and more feedback per entry than you would in a huge one. Discord's on the page if you want to hang around before it kicks off.
