✨ Banner art by topdawgham


Welcome!

Bezi Jam 11 is here. Four days, $400+ in prizes, and a theme we think you are going to love. This jam has two challenges: build a game around the theme, and show us your best Bezi fan art. Build your game using Unity and Bezi, shaped around a theme that will be revealed at the start of the jam.

The theme will be announced on June 19 at 12:00am PST. Until then, join our Discord for weekly hints every Monday leading up to the jam, plus an early reveal the day before for community members.

Sometimes the best designs never sit still.

🔥 The Bezi Mega Jam is coming. Two weeks, bigger prizes, GDC passes, iPads, and more. September 14. Learn more and join.

Focus on your game first. The devlog is meant to be written during the voting period after the jam ends, not during the four days you are building. Finish your game, then tell the story of how you made it.

Post your devlog in #bezi-showcase on our Discord with the Bezi Jam tag. Tell us about your game, how you built it, and how Bezi fit into your workflow. Screenshots, GIFs, and video help bring it to life.

Game Name and a one-liner describing your game in one sentence
Play It with a link to the itch.io page
Screenshots / Video showing gameplay
About the Game sharing what players do and what makes it interesting

How Bezi Was Used covering what role Bezi played in your workflow, which features you used most, and any tips or tricks you discovered along the way

🎨 Track 3: Fan Art
