We joined the Global Game Jam 2026!
After all these years, we can’t renounce the same independent spirit Caracal was founded on: the genuine love of making games and having fun while doing it!
We took part in the latest edition of the Global Game Jam 2026, which is a unique international event where participants from all over the world start creating a game simultaneously.
48 Hours of Creativity and Collaboration
So, we chose to have fun with a concept that could reflect both sides of our identity, blending innovation (VR) with nostalgia (Retro).
For us the GGJ experience is always an opportunity to step outside of structured production cycles and embrace a more spontaneous approach.
That’s exactly how we like to develop in our free time.
Mad Zeppelin: Retro meets VR
During the jam we developed Mad Zeppelin, a VR experience built around a playful and unexpected concept: players find themselves aboard a zeppelin, only to realize they are playing on a 3D Game Boy emulator within the game itself. We believe that Mad Zeppelin captures the spirit of the jam: creative, surprising, and a little unconventional.
Our slogan was something like: “You thought you were about to play next gen, but it was retro gaming all along.”
This project reflects exactly our ongoing interest in exploring new ideas and pushing creative boundaries, even within a limited timeframe.
