    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.
