Make a small simulator or management game in 10 days. Any engine, beginners welcome, free to enter.

Hi, we're Vuena. We make small games and 3D asset packs, and we love the kind of game where you run a tiny shop, a little factory, a gas station, or a messy apartment and slowly get it humming. So we're hosting a small jam about exactly that.

Who it's for

Everyone. First jam? Welcome. Solo or with friends, any engine, any language, any platform. One shop, one machine, one tiny job done well is plenty. If a stranger can play it for five minutes and want to see what happens next, you did it.

When (all times UTC)

• Starts: Sunday 15 Nov 2026, 12:00 UTC. The theme is revealed on this page at that moment, and the timer above counts down in your local time.
• Submissions close: Wednesday 25 Nov 2026, 12:00 UTC (10 days)
• Voting ends: Wednesday 2 Dec 2026, 12:00 UTC

The theme is a surprise, so you can't plan the whole game in advance. Use it as loosely as you like. A weak link to the theme is fine.

Prize

Prize: every valid entry gets a free key for the Vuena Complete Collection. No ranking needed, just finish and submit a game.

Simple rules

1. Be kind. Rate and comment the way you would like to be rated and commented on.
2. Start the actual game during the jam. Pre-made assets, plugins and your own old code libraries are fine, as long as you are allowed to use them.
3. If you use AI-generated art or music, say so on your game page. A clear note is all we ask.
4. Nothing that targets or harasses real people, and nothing adult or hateful.

Free assets you can use

Totally optional, and using them never affects your rating. If you want something to start from, these are free for your jam game:

• Simulator Kits Sampler, a free taste of our shop, factory, gas station and interior kits (CC0)
• Factory Simulator Kit, free sample
• Modular Apartment Interior Kit, free sample
• Cafe and Bakery Simulator Kit, with a free demo file on the page
• 8 Free Blocky Characters

Please check each page for its exact license.

How rating works

Everyone who submits a game can rate other games, 1 to 5 stars on three things:

• Fun: did I want to keep playing?
• Simulation depth: do the systems push back, surprise me, and reward planning?
• Look: does it feel good to look at, in whatever style you chose?

Rate a few games even if yours is rough. That is how a jam stays alive.

A small ask

Post your game when you are done, even if it feels unfinished. Unfinished tiny sims are still the best part of jams. Questions, ideas, or "I'm stuck" posts are welcome in the community tab.

Have fun, and see you on the 15th.
