Welcome to the "Level Up Game Jam" – an exciting game development challenge where your creativity, skills, and imagination will be put to the ultimate test!
In this jam, you'll create a game using RPG elements, complete with a medieval fantasy world . But there's a twist: you'll need to design your game in such a way that the 7 raw skills (strength, speed, agility, defense, attack, morale, and discipline) - directly influence gameplay. Your goal is to craft engaging mechanics where these stats dynamically change the experience, making the game easier or harder based on player choices.
The jam will be hosted on our DISCORD GROUP where you can collaborate, discuss ideas, and share your progress with other participants. You’ll receive the XP table as part of the provided Unity package, which will guide player leveling and progression within your game.
You'll get the opportunity to create an RPG where player progression is at the core. Characters will improve their abilities based on experience points (XP) gathered over time, and these XP levels will directly affect gameplay outcomes.
The challenge? We’re looking for creative and innovative ways to make these skills matter in your game. Whether it's through combat, exploration, or unique class abilities, the player’s stats should have a major influence on their journey.
This jam is special because it asks developers to think beyond traditional game mechanics and integrate RPG progression in unique ways. You’ll also get access to an XP table (provided in the Unity package) to guide the player’s progression.
RPG elements: Your game should use the raw skills to influence the game, you will have a character that will interact with the world, other characters, fight enemies, complete quests, as you wish.
Medieval Fantasy World: Think knights, dragons, wizards, and mythical lands filled with mystery.
Multi-Class System (Optional): Players can choose different classes like Mage or Fighter, and each class should uniquely utilize the raw skills (strength, agility, attack, etc.) to impact gameplay.
You can use any Game Engine you want. But people using Unity will receive a package with all the basic functionalities for the level up system. If you're using a different engine, you'll have to develop the experience system from scratch!
The game can be on 2D or 3D.
The game can be for PC or Mobile, Landscape or Portrait as you wish.
You MUST USE the following skills:
Strength | Speed | Agility | Defense | Attack | Morale | Discipline
These skills should shape the player's journey, making tasks or encounters easier or harder depending on their attributes.

Every decision counts, and how well you implement your progression systems could be the difference between success and failure in the player's quest.
