| This is a site dedicated to the past AmiGameJam events that kickstarted my passion for organising a yearly game development competition. The contest began in 2009 as the "Annual Festive Amiga Game-Making Competition", with the aim of inspiring Christmas and other "Festive" related Amiga game development. Encouraged by the unexpected success of the first contest, I decided to continue organising these contests. Eventually, a decision was made to rename it to AmiGameJam, opening it up to a wider range of themes. Check out below for all the information on the currently running jam as well as the previous jams. |
 Welcome to the 9th AmiGameJam event. The theme is "SPORTS" where you are invited to make your own game that ties into the sports theme in some way. Some examples of this include the platform game Soccer Kid where you kick a soccer ball around or a game where you manage your own sports team like Football Manager or a multi-event sports game like Winter Sports. Feel free to use any programming language or engine you like as long as the final game executable runs on a classic Amiga. The competition begins on July 1st, 2026 and will close on December 31st, 2026 at 1.00AM GMT. After this date, voting will open to the community to rate each of the games out of 5 stars for around three weeks. As usual, we will be hosting the Live Results Show for the final community results along with the panel of three judges' verdicts on AmigaBill's Twitch channel on a date to be announced later. Please continue to support the currently running GoFundMe to help cover the prizes and shipping costs for this year's jam! All of the fundraising money goes fully towards supporting AmiGameJam.
