Feel free to ask questions about the jam here..!

Which store will have a gift certificate for when you win? If it's on Amazon, is it possible to change it?

HostSubmitted

Hi Tinokil,

The gift cards that you can win are Amazon Gift Cards indeed.
Unfortunately we can not change them to another card or gift.
This is what we currently have to give away for the winners that can be used for almost all participants around the world and can also be sponsored by us as a company.

What if I'm from Russia and Amazon is not very convenient for me?

HostSubmitted

In our 8th edition (2023) of the Game Jam a Russian won (ForestSpirit game) and we mailed Amazon gift cards and was no problem at that moment for the winner? 

Other option we have used before is Humble Bundles.. 

OK. I thought that suddenly there were some other certificates

previously the devlog was optional, is it optional again this jam? Since the game itself takes a lot of time and process to make. I think a lot of participants will have trouble making a big devlog. Would be a shame if you have a winning game but lose 4 places because of a devlog that only you guys will read (probably), or do you guys see this differently?

It is optional again in this edition. 
If you do make one, you make a chance for a nice prize. If you do not..no worries...it is not required.

Why are the rules not updated?

HostSubmitted

I thought I had it covered everywhere it was now optional (at least at the prizes), but indeed there was a rule you create a devlog and I have also added optional in that rule. Thanks for mentioning!
