COCKPIT

Despite the theme being about AI cores, no AI-generation was used during the making of this jam.

Cockpit is a rules-lite game about A.I. cores, space travel, and power management. All of the players take the role of A.I. cores as they all control a different section of a spaceship. The game master is “the Pilot,” as they drive the session in terms of both role-playing and as a character.

Taking place after the planet Earth gets destroyed, an astronaut finds a desolate ship with AI cores controlling every facet of the ship. Each player will take a role of a deteriorating A.I. Core that manages a certain facet of the ship. Due to the passage of time, these A.I. Cores have become less reliable as they are prone to miscalculations and accidents. Now stranded, you must search the solar system for a hospitable planet to call home. 

This is a submission for the One-Page Weekender 2026 game jam.

Main Inspirations:

• Blades in the Dark for the clock-trackers.
• Ironsworn for the oracle system.
• Halo's Contact Harvest for the A.I. Cores
