Welcome!
We took a little break for GDC, but we are back! Join our 4-day game jam with $300+ in prizes. Create games using Unity and Bezi, with a theme revealed at the start. This one's going to come back around in a big way.
The theme will be announced when the jam begins. Join our Discord for weekly hints every Monday leading up to the jam.
Your game must revolve around the theme revealed at the start of the jam. Beyond that, you have full creative freedom. Explore any genre, tone, or style you want. Keep it focused on a clear connection to the theme so players can see your take on it.
About Bezi
Bezi is a development assistant that integrates directly into Unity, intelligently indexing your entire project, including assets, scenes, packages, scripts, and components, to provide context-aware assistance. Whether you are debugging complex scene-level issues, generating custom shaders, creating editor tools, or prototyping new mechanics, Bezi understands your specific project structure and coding style to deliver targeted solutions that go far beyond what traditional IDEs can offer. You can download and use Bezi here, or visit our itch.io page.
Theme
Revealed at the Start
The theme will be announced when the jam kicks off on April 24. Until then, we will be dropping weekly hints every Monday in our Discord. Join the server and keep an eye on #jam-chat to start piecing it together before the clock starts. Pay attention. The clues have a way of coming back to you.
Join our Discord
Join our Discord community to connect with fellow developers, find potential teammates, and throw ideas around with the community throughout the jam. We will post weekly theme hints every Monday in #jam-chat leading up to the jam. For questions about Bezi, please use #bezi-feedback.

About The Devlog Prize
We are looking for developers who can tell a clear story about their jam experience with Bezi. A great devlog goes beyond the final game. It shows your process, problem solving, and how Bezi fit into your workflow.
| Show your process, not just the final game. Walk through your decisions, what you'd do differently, and what you'd come back to. |
| Include visuals. Screenshots, GIFs, or short videos make your story easier to follow and more engaging to read. |
| Be honest. The best devlogs reflect on what actually happened, not just what went well. |
Devlog Submission
Post your game in our Discord #bezi-showcase channel with the Bezi Jam tag. Focus on finishing your game first. You can add your devlog in the comments of your post during the voting period when you have time to reflect. Screenshots, videos, or GIFs help tell your story.
