Stop Killing Games Community Jam

Hey, Welcome to the home of Stop Killing Games Community Jam!

This jam is created by the community surrounding the Stop Killing Games movement. By ordinary people who love the medium and care for it's preservation.

Stop Killing Games Community Jam 2026

The unique part of our jam is the care for the end-of-life planning for your game. You have to not only develop the game, but also think about the preservation of your game. Will the players be able to enjoy it if itch.io goes down? What if you decide to unpublish it - will the player be able to keep playing? After all, we are making the games for the players!

2026 Edition

Current edition of the jam is SKG Community Jam 2026. It will be held from July 17 to July 31, 2026. There is plenty of time to get ready, so go ahead and sign up!
