RaiPG Maker Gamejam is a (hopefully) anually held Gamejam hosted by myself. I intended this to be an entry gate for everyone who aspires to be a game developer since RPG Maker is a great entry point to learn the ins and outs of Game Developing.
It is back yay!
First started in 2025 as a joke GameJam for my close friends to participate in, it garners some more attentions from the public and it became "Manusia Pagi", a game dev circle that wants to bring all the creativity it has for Indonesia's Game Industry.
To deliver more impact to the world, I decided to continue this Jam anually, hence the return of RaiPG Maker GameJam, RaiPG Maker 2026!
Huge thanks to Arsid and Peter Parkour for being a good friend and sponsoring this Gamejam. Without both of you I wouldn't even be able to give the same amount of past gamejam's reward to the winners (I'm so broke KEKW). So check them out they're also some amazing creators!
Unlike the past RaiPG Maker, this year's jammers are allowed to use any kind of RPG Maker, not only limited to RPG Maker 2003. Hopefully to get more participants joining this time. But for those who doesn't have any RPG Maker, the demo of RPG Maker MZ is totally free and available for you to use it for 20 Days! You can also participate with that! Participants are also allowed to join as a team!
The jam will be held from February 23 to March 1. In the span of one week jammers are expected to make their best iteration of their game with the soon to be announced theme (Feb 22).
For those who are new to RPG Maker or game Development in general, we are also going to broadcast a short online workshop to complement your knowledge of RPG Maker Games. Featuring members of Manusia Pagi, like Agarin Pachi, Vtuber and developer of Waktunya Kerja, a life simulator made in RPG Maker 2003. Anddd myself (KEKW). So yeah hopefully, some new faces will also join the jam!
Mini Workshop Yeay!
