March is the hottest season in many tropical countries — the perfect time to turn up the heat and create something on fire.

Welcome to the Fiery RTP Game Jam, a creative challenge for RPG Maker developers who want to test their storytelling, design, and creativity under one blazing theme:

"Fire🔥".

Interpret it however you want:

🔥Fire as an element (magic, dragons, volcanoes)

🔥Fire as emotion (passion, rage, love, revenge)

🔥Fire as disaster (war, apocalypse, burning cities)

🔥Fire as rebirth (phoenix, second chances, renewal)

If it burns, it fits.

This jam is all about having fun, experimenting with ideas, and proving that great games don’t need fancy assets — just solid concepts and execution.

Participants must use only the default RPG Maker RTP assets.

❌No external assets.

❌No asset modifications: no edits, no recolors using Gimp or Photoshop, no custom graphics, music, or sound effects. No splash opening movies, even evented scenes to make it like an opening movie. No using scripts to change the overall look of the menu.

✅Pure, untouched RTP only. (Resizing VX Ace tiles to MV tile size is okay. Enemy Color Hue Changer is okay to use.)

✅Using splash screen to show your logo or trademark and logo of the RPG Maker engine you're using is okay.

✅Mixing assets from different RPG Maker Game Engine. (Example: VX Ace assets to MV engine or MV assets to MZ engine)

With classes ending and more free time on your hands, this is the perfect moment to jump in and make something unforgettable.
