Event's Plan:

After Game Craft's end , the juries will rate the games and decide the winning team, there will also be a community poll to decide the most popular game, both teams will receive a prize. 

Games will be rated based on 5 categories:  :

  • Gameplay - the features of a game, its story and the way it is played.
  • Graphics -the graphic techniques that have been used and how nice the game looks - this includes particle effects and anything related to the appearance of the game.
  • Audio - the soundtrack that accompanies the game and how nice it sounds, whether with music or sound effects.
  • Thematic Relevancy - how relevant the game is to whatever theme was picked and how well the theme is used. If a game only technically applies to the theme, it gets a lower score than one which fully embraces it.
  • The content of the the game and the idea

Judging and Prizes:

When the jam ends, a  panel of judges will  rate the games based on a rubric to determine a  winner, there will also be a community poll where the highest scoring overall game will win the title of the most popular game.

The community's  vote will take place a week after the jam's end.

 Both the winner team and the most popular game will be announced one week after the vote's end, to allow extra time for judges.

The winner will receive the main price, while the most popular game will receive a symbolic one.

Theme's announcement: 

The theme is meant to be an inspiration to Kick-Start your ideas, you are free to interpret it however you like.
