AirAsia’s Dream It brand experience continues to make dreams come true, this time for young game developers through the third run of RedGames Jam.
Team Glep, a returning participant, came away with the win at this year’s Jam, bringing home an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2025 Tokyo Game Show.
This team participated in last year’s edition and came back stronger this year to emerge as champions.
Team Glep leader Kenny Yeow said of their triumph: “My teammates and I are proud of this achievement and RedGames Jam is an event that we look forward to every year. The opportunities that AirAsia presents to us, game developers, is life-changing and we highly encourage other aspiring game developers to be part of future editions of this great event."
The first runner-up, Team LOGIC - Greybox from Indonesia's Binus University, took home cash prizes and AirAsia merchandise, together with tickets to gamescom asia x Thailand Game Show and return flights to Bangkok, Thailand, to experience the three-day video games convention.
Together with the Top 10 entrants of RedGames Jam, they will be presented with the opportunity to showcase their games at Level Up KL, a premier Southeast Asia Game Developers Conference organised by Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).
Turning dreams into realities
Hosted by AirAsia for the past three years to highlight regional game development talent, this latest iteration is included in the Dream It brand experience, which aims to give a bigger highlight to the region’s thriving games community.
Team Glep’s winning game, Tappy’s Time Out, will potentially be playable on AirAsia MOVE via the RedGames icon on the app.
AirAsia brand co’s head of IP development Izal Azlee said: “After three years of RedGames Jam working with the community, I would say that this is the biggest turnout that we’ve had. From SEGA to Asia Pacific University, we are again providing a chance for budding game developers to experience the Tokyo Game Show. This year’s competition is especially meaningful, as it forms part of AirAsia’s broader brand campaign, The Colour of Connection (TCOC). The initiative falls under the Dream It banner, which aims to unite and empower specific communities through creativity, collaboration and shared experiences.”
Asia Pacific University’s head of school Dr Tan Chin Ike concurred, saying: "I strongly believe that great games start with great talent. Through this exciting partnership with AirAsia, we are providing an opportunity for young talents and aspiring game developers to not only showcase their creativity and flex their technical muscles but also gain a life-changing level-up by building confidence, receiving mentorship and power-ups from industry practitioners and taking meaningful steps toward a future in the game development industry."
With RedGames Jam being the entry point to the Dream It experience, the grand prize winners will be given the opportunity to explore Tokyo’s vibrant gaming and cultural hotspots, gaining insights, inspiration and a broader perspective on the global video games industry.
This is part of AirAsia's ongoing commitment in championing dreams and fostering Asean talent through People, Places and Passion.
