In this talk, in collaboration with Biunivoca, I explain how to prepare for and make it through a game jam, with the Epic AI MegaJam 2026 in mind.
In the first part, I cover the jam’s rules and categories, how to form a team, set up your engine, source control, assets, and AI tools, and how to go from the theme to an idea with a realistic scope.
In the second part, I propose a four-day plan: we’ll go over the most common mistakes in Unreal Engine and UEFN, where AI helps and where it wastes time, how to polish the first 30 seconds of gameplay, the submission checklist, and how to make it through as people—not just as developers.
