RIVES Creator Season 1
Create and play onchain cartridges in the RIVES Creator Season 1
After our last event, the DOOM Olympics, it’s time to put community-created cartridges at the center. RIVES is a creator-focused console after all!
Welcome to the RIVES Creator Season 1 — a month-long event focused on creativity and fun!
📆 Nov 15 - Dec 23
🏆 Prizepool: $5,000+ (split between game creators & players)
Whether you’re an experienced developer, want to create your first game, or just want to play, this is for you!
How It Works
Create a cartridge during RIVES JAM #3, a 2 week-long game jam to build your own cartridge. Use your favorite language to create small, expressive games, whether you are a beginner or seasoned. The theme for this jam is SLIDE ⛷️
Vote: After the JAM, we will vote on our favorite cartridges. The 5 highest-rated cartridges will then split a total of $1000 in prizes. Top Cartridges will have about 2 weeks to be polished to join the "Play phase".
Play: Selected and polished cartridges will be featured in a 7-day-long player contest. Players can jump in, try out the top games, and compete for high scores and Prizes ($2500 prize pool). An additional $1500 prize pool is split between cartridge creators based on player engagement with their cartridge.
