ContentDB field)There is no theme! Creative starting points will be provided.
But a theme prevents people from working before the deadline!
Well, no. It's pretty easy to make most of a game and then mold it to the theme once announced. Honor system.
Restriction breeds creativity! We need a theme!
Restriction can breed creativity. It can also cause participants to overthink or keep them from coming up with relevant ideas. But yes, themes help many come up with ideas faster so they can focus on making games. Instead of a strict theme, creative prompts will be provided for those that want something quick to start with.
The theme sucks!
Welcome back.
Scoring is entirely community-driven. Using an interface on this website, anyone with a ContentDB account may log in to participate, allowing everyone to have a voice in the outcome.
Each reviewer will be presented with a randomly sorted list of all submissions to sort (from favorite to least-favorite). The average rank of each package (after automatic penalties) determines its final score. Jam participants can rank every package aside from their own.
Rankings from members who have received 10 or more total "helpful review" points on ContentDB (or have the Editor
rank or higher) will have an added 10% weight. These are sort of like "mini-judges".
Badges will also be provided to be assigned to your favorite games for 6 categories: Most Innovative, Most Fun, Best Graphics, Best Audio, Best Humor, and Best Mood. Packages with the most of a badge will be considered the winner in that category (for glory).
Gameplay | How intuitive and enjoyable is the gameplay? Is it a fulfilling experience? Is there a clear goal? |
Innovation | What makes the game unique? Does it have emergent mechanics or clever gameplay? |
Content | Is the game well-polished or packed with stuff to do? Is the art and sound consistent and cohesive? |
Penalties | Reduces final score by 20% (additive) |
