The fire burns again.
After the first Campfire Creators Jam brought together developers from across itch.io, the challenge returns for a bigger second edition:
🔥 Campfire Creators Jam #2 – Second Flame
Create a game where the campfire is central to the gameplay, atmosphere, story, or survival.
This can be:
• survival • horror • cozy storytelling • resource management • puzzle • strategy • anything your imagination ignites
The provided animated campfire sprite pack must appear at least once in your game.
Returning participants from Jam #1 are welcome to continue, polish, or expand their previous projects into a stronger final version.
New developers are also fully welcome to join and start fresh.
This edition is about building a stronger flame.
