Hello Stellaris Community!
We’re proud to announce that over the summer, the Stellaris Community Team will be hosting another Mod Jam, with the support of our sponsors at Republic of Gamers!
We’ve had some great results from past Mod Jams, including last year - where for the first time a modder who had never made a mod before placed in the top three. This year, we’ve decided to take a different tack on the classic mod jam setup:
This year you will be choosing the theme!
From now until June 19th, you will be able to vote on the forums, and on discord for one of four themes, and on June 20th, we will officially announce the theme of MODJAM2025 alongside the prizes.
The four themes are:
[/p]
- [p]Major Event Chain - modders would be asked to make a major event chain similar to the Horizon Signal, that is either associated with a solar system initializer or planet type[/p][/*]
- [p]Origins - we have done origins before, back when they were first introduced, but it’s been five years and this theme is a strong contender - modders would be asked to create one unique origin[/p][/*]
- [p]Precursor Event Chains - this is another strong contender. With the ability to choose what precursors spawn in the galaxy introduced in 4.0, there’s plenty of room for more (non-canonical) galactic history to be told![/p][/*]
- [p]Crisis Paths - since the introduction of Cosmogenesis in The Machine Age, crisis paths have been moddable, but generally require a lot of work to add to the game when it comes to scripting and artwork (which means we might see fewer finished mods). Modders would be asked to create one unique crisis path and final objective - completing the final objective should trigger the victory screen.[/p][/*]
So be sure to vote here and stop by the Stellaris discord to cast your vote for the theme for #MODJAM2025, and we will be back next week to talk about prizes and the theme.
If you’re a modder, sign ups for #MODJAM2025 are open now and will be open until June 20th! Fill out this form - and join us on discord - if you want to participate![/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/9703436/a25a92ccf3b98e6483ef3c789742f3d9e1fa9f8e.png"][/img]Tentative timeline for #MODJAM2025. This is subject to change.[/p][p]
We hope you’re all as excited as we are for #MODJAM2025, and we can’t wait to see what the modders come up with this year![/p][p][/p]
