AT Jam Dole 2026

AT Jam Dole pays $750 USD per team member for a two week game prototype that uses AT Protocol. The call is for unemployed game developers. ATmosphere Games hosts the page. After a successful submission, each funded team member invoices The Playtopia Foundation NPC. The page calls this temporary prototype funding, not employment and not a guaranteed ongoing income.

Teams can have up to three people. Each person needs an Atmosphere account and a portfolio that shows several finished jams. The game must be a new original title, not tied to an existing work, and it must use AT Protocol in some way. Selected teams commit to a complete playable game and to giving useful feedback on at least three other games.

Log in with an Atmosphere account on the Jam Dole page and send a proposal. The last day to send a proposal is 25 October 2026. Selected teams are announced on 2 November 2026. The build runs from 3 to 17 November 2026. Final playable builds are due on 18 November 2026. Games are featured on 20 November 2026, and selected games can be played at a booth during the Playtopia Festival from 3 to 5 December 2026.

A finished game must be playable from start to finish, with working controls and clear goals, and published in public with enough information for someone to understand and play it. Funding is lost if the submission is materially incomplete, changed from the approved prototype without agreement, copied, made with unauthorized or illegal content, or late without an exemption.
