Summer Party Jam

Make something that's better with friends. With them or against them: co-op capers, party chaos, duels, arenas. Any genre, as long as it comes alive when more people join.

Start from a template

The multiplayer wiring already works in these. Remix one and make it yours, or build from scratch. Judging rewards what you built, not what you started from.

How it works

Rules

  • Who: any creator with a Star account.
  • What: a multiplayer game published (or republished with real changes) during the jam window (July 10 to Sunday night, July 26). Any genre, co-op or versus. Beating your friends counts.
  • How: build it, hit Publish, and flip on Enter the Summer Party Jam. Or submit anytime from this page using the Submit buttons under "Your games this jam".
  • Templates: fork the 2D arena or the 3D FPS below and make it yours. The netcode already works, so your credits go into your game, not into wiring. Judging rewards what you built, not what you started from.
  • Judging: winners are picked at Star Game Nights, live play sessions in our Discord on July 10, July 18, and July 26 at 7pm Central. Judges play every entry with real people. Better with friends wins.
  • Multiple entries: yes, submit as many as you want.
  • Tip: multiplayer is heavy lifting for Star. Pick the Pro or Ultra model for it. It does a lot better and saves credits on retries.
  • New and honest: multiplayer is in beta. If a room acts weird, report it in Discord instead of spending credits on repeated fixes. Platform bugs are on us, and we'll credit back what you spent chasing one.

The jam runs in our Discord. Star Game Nights are where the playing, the judging, and the friendly trash talk happen. Come hang.
