Hey there Gamecrafters,
Today, we will be running our first ever competition, a game-creation competition! Where we’re going to put you and our CTO Seb to the test! Seb is notoriously VERY bad at playing games here in the studio, so we want you guys to create some fun and relatively easy games for him (and our newer users) to play. Just to give you a head’s up on how bad Seb is at playing games, he got stuck on the tutorial level for Angry Birds - he still hasn’t completed it.
This competition will run from today, 6th November 2019 until 17th November 2019 23:59(UTC+0) so you may have to be quick to get your entry in on time. And the judging time will be however long it takes for Seb to play all the entries - that may be a while. But before you rush to upload your entire games library, make sure they fit within the rules, otherwise your entry won’t be valid.
Rules
- Seb must be able to get to the end of your game within three attempts
- You must publish your game to the Play Games Screen for everyone to see
- Your entry must be a game - have an objective and can be won and lost
- There must be a spawn point in the level for it to count as a game
- Entries must be uploaded by 17th November 2019 23:59(UTC+0)
- Entries must have “Seb” In the title - This is so we can easily search for them in the Play Games screen
Judging
What will we judge the games on? Well there are a few factors we will take into account when judging a game
- Have they followed the rules?
- Did Seb beat the level within 3 attempts?
- Fun and engagement
- Aesthetic presentation and theme
Prizes
We have 3 Steam digital gift cards worth £25 GBP (~$30 USD) up for grabs. We’ll get Seb to start playing through all the entries on the 18th of November 2019 and we’ll announce the winners once the judging process is done.
Prizes will be limited to 1 per user, and upon winning you will have to accept a friend request from an official Freejam Source who will gift you the prize. If you fail to respond within 1 week to the friend request, your prize will be passed onto the next best winner. For multiple people working on 1 entry, the digital gift card can only be awarded to one person, so the person who uploads it to the workshop will be awarded the gift card.
Happy Crafting!
The Gamecraft Team
