Supporting BitSummit Game Jam 2025

The BitSummit Game Jam is an engaging event where students collaborate in teams to develop games over a fixed duration. The produced works will be localized into English and displayed at the main BitSummit festival. This initiative not only allows students to gain hands-on game development experience but also encourages them to aim for inclusion in the prominent BitSummit showcase, thus honing practical skills in a competitive setting.

DMM GAME Translation aligns with the event's objective of nurturing talents who could thrive on a global stage by providing young creators the opportunity to present their games to numerous stakeholders both domestically and internationally. By offering English translations for the showcased works, DMM GAME Translation contributes significantly to the growth of emerging creators with broader global perspectives.

Comments from Organizers

According to Takeshi Ishikawa from the BitSummit Game Jam organizing committee, the game jam allows students to collaborate with unfamiliar team members and create a game within three months. Since its inception in 2019, the event has embraced new themes each year. This year, with the theme focused on English as a primary language, the collaboration with DMM GAME Translation marks a pivotal role.
