    Ever think, “Hey, what if you could…?” for a game you’ve played before?

    Are you a seasoned hacker interested in contributing to the growing and needed space of Final Fantasy V hacks?

    Are you just someone new who’s looking to take a stab at game hacking?

    Are you a fan of classic Final Fantasy?

    We are holding our very first hack jam with a focus on Final Fantasy V for the SNES/Super Famicom, and we want you to join!

    Whether you’re thinking of something grandiose in scale, such as significant story or mechanical tweaks…

    Or you’re more interested in changing some graphics, maybe inserting a new sprite or customizing existing ones…

    Or maybe you want to change some of the wording because you thought some translated thing was a bit strange?

    Binary editor, assembly hacker, or totally new and just looking to try some tools that will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you, you are welcome!

    No hack idea is too small. And the community will vote on the top hacks (or, if you want don’t want your hack voted on, that’s okay, too!).

    If it turns out this is your thing, we have a forum channel where modders help each other. We even have a hacking academy for eligible members.

    Our community of modders has released mods for numerous Final Fantasy titles (and others of various genres and across several platforms), and we’d be happy to provide feedback and assistance in the forum channel as you need it.

    For any players or hackers interested, you can find more info in one of the related posts below. Cheers, and may we build something great together!

    No Context Collab + Hack Jam ’26

    Release target is April Fools’ Day ’26.

    Given the “no context” theme, your project must be kept secret from others.

    All working submissions will be combined to the best of our integration team’s abilities.

    More details are as follows.

    1. Choose one focus area: maps, sprites, audio, script, mechanics, or user interface.
    2. Guidance for time to spend is 30 minutes to 1 day, but no upper limit will be enforced. You must, however, report your time spent when you make your submission.
    3. The organizers may also impose a minimum signup threshold before this project is allowed to proceed.
    4. Base rom will be FFV SFC, preferably with RPGe translation applied.
    5. Submission deadline will be March 15. An extended deadline of March 25 may apply to participants invited via other FF modding Discords.
    6. Submission format must be a patch file in IPS or BPS format.
    7. Submissions will be via DM as instructed in the channel.
