The 2026 Faust Game Jam took place from October 3 to 4, with the Taipei session hosted at the TCA Conference Center. Approximately 30 participants organized into five teams to develop game prototypes within a 30-hour timeframe. The event, themed around "Breath," was organized by the Administration of Digital Industries and supported by various industry organizations including IGDA Taiwan.
Three of the five resulting games utilized microphone input as a core mechanic. In "RTB 記得呼吸," players must recite spells like "Fireball" to cast magic, while "火之呼吸" requires players to blow into the microphone to maintain a fire. "龍席 Dragon Feast" involves two players coordinating flight and breath-based cooking commands. For accessibility, "火之呼吸" also includes a button-based alternative for those unable to use a microphone.
The remaining two titles explored different interpretations of the theme. "choke" is a physics-based climbing game where players control a chili pepper navigating internal organs using keyboard-controlled inhalation and exhalation. "草皮巴拉 Run" features a sentient plant that grows legs, offering 21 possible endings based on player choices that influence its attributes and appearance.
Participants managed the entire development cycle, from conceptualization to final prototype, within the 30-hour limit. All five prototypes are currently available for public play, with developers encouraging interested individuals to follow IGDA Taiwan for future event updates.
