Player2 AI RPG Jam winners
Our first Player2 AI RPG Jam is done, and we’re excited to share the winners.
This jam was about turning existing games into something closer to a living RPG: mods where NPCs remember things, react to the player, and help create stories that can change from playthrough to playthrough. We saw builders try this in a lot of different directions, and we’re grateful to everyone who joined in.

What stood out
What we wanted from this jam was not just “AI chat in a game.” We were looking for mods that made roleplay matter inside the game world: NPCs with memory, choices that changed what happened next, and stories that could move in different directions depending on how the player played. That was the whole idea behind the jam from the start.
A big thank you to everyone who entered. Building this kind of system is still hard, and every good submission helps show what this new style of game can look like.
What’s next
One more thing: you can now resubmit published games to our next jam.

If you built something for this jam and want to keep improving it, keep going. If you have already published a game and think it now fits the next jam better, you can enter again.
That’s something we want to encourage more of: not just jam prototypes, but projects that keep growing after the jam ends. The RPG Jam itself was designed to reward sustained development and real player usage, and we want to keep pushing in that direction.
