Updated 30 September 2026: the organizer-linked submission form is no longer accepting responses. The call closed after its published 29 September 2026, 02:59 UTC (11:59 JST) cutoff. The organizer's entry landing page still displays “Entry Open,” but its form confirms that submissions have ended.
Entry was free for the 1 December broadcast. The archived requirements below remain useful context for teams preparing for a future edition, but they are no longer an active application route.
Check eligibility first
The organizer allows one game per group or individual. Selection is competitive; submitting does not guarantee a place.
The entry form adds an important condition: if the developer or publisher is a corporation, annual game-business revenue must be JPY 50 million or less. Check the form's release and announcement categories against your game's plans before preparing an entry.
What to prepare
- A 15-second MP4 video and a 30–90 second MP4 trailer.
- One JPG key artwork and three JPG screenshots.
- A Google Drive folder accessible to anyone with the link as a viewer. Keep the files available until 31 December.
- Your game's distinguishing features, development background, and planned announcement.
The form specifies 1080p video and additional technical requirements. The announcement mentions a 30-second trailer; the current form allows 30–90 seconds. Use the linked form's full checklist when exporting your files.
Why this matters for a small team
This checklist shows why a free showcase call can still require meaningful preparation: eligibility, export settings, and shared-folder access all need time before a cutoff.
See the official entry page for the organizer's archived call. Wumbo Games did not apply or contact the organizer.
