Pixel Game Maker MV News

After hosting the REMIX Game Jam and hosting community voting for the 3 finalists, we are excited to announce our two winners!



We want to take this moment to thank everyone for their efforts for joining in the week long Game Jam, and for submitting a great variety of games. We enjoyed playing through all your games, and it was a difficult choice to select the finalists. We hope that you will all continue to support Pixel Game Maker MV, and continue to take part in our future activities.

After allowing the community to choose one of the winners through community voting from the three finalists, the staff behind Pixel Game Maker MV got to choose the second winner. As promised, the two winners for our REMIX Game Jam will have their titles shown on the Pixel Game Maker MV booth at “BitSummit 7 Spirits”, scheduled to be held in June 2019.
