Making Games is More Fun Than Playing Them! Game Production Festival "GameMakers Scramble 2026" to be Held on Sunday, August 30th in Ariake, Tokyo!

GameMakers, a web media specializing in game creation (operated by Historia Inc.), is pleased to announce that "GameMakers Scramble 2026," a real-world event for game creators, will be held on Sunday, August 30, 2026. We would also like to inform you about the event content and ticket information as follows.

What is GameMakers Scramble?

"Making games is more fun than playing them!" — That's why we want to convey the joy of creation to as many people as possible. We believe that an increase in the game-making population will surely lead to the development of Japanese game culture. With this in mind, the game creation web media "GameMakers" was launched in 2022.

"GameMakers Scramble" is a real-world event for game creators, organized by the GameMakers editorial department. This year marks its 4th holding, based on the concept of being a place where all people with "a passion for game creation," regardless of professional or amateur status, can interact beyond their positions. This time, we are further expanding the scale, planning to hold it with three lecture tracks, more than 15 lecture slots, and over 1,000 participants. Our team is working together to prepare for an event where everyone can take home a lot of know-how and production motivation. We look forward to your participation!

Operating Manager/Editor-in-Chief of GameMakers, Daiki Kamiyama
