Some useful information for our upcoming jam:
- The Jam starts June 20th, 2025
- The theme will be announced at the start of the jam
- We have 2 optional challenges you can join and maybe win a little prize (check itch.io jam page for more info):
- Easter Egg Challenge: Include a unique Easter egg in your game—something clever, funny, or surprising. It could be a joke, a secret power-up, a hidden shortcut, or anything else creative. The goal is to fit it seamlessly into your game and leave players with a sense of delight or awe when they discover it.
- Devlog Category: The most insightful, informative & educational Devlog will receive a big bonus Amazon Gift Card. The Devlog category will be manually ranked by the Jury and not the participants. It is NOT a required part of the Jam if you want a chance to win overall prizes. The deadline of the devlog is also a couple of days after the game submission period. So you can add it later and focus on your game during the jam.
- We also have a special Feedback Award + prize: Awarded to the participant who provides the most helpful, constructive, and insightful feedback on others’ games. This category values those who go above and beyond with thoughtful comments, tips, and encouragement to help fellow developers improve their games. This choice is not based on any scientific calculations or exact scoring. Instead, we select from a group of participants who, in our opinion, provides thoughtful and constructive feedback. From that group, we draw a name as the award recipient.
- We have a Discord Server were you can ask questions, find FAQ, make teams, brainstorm or discuss with our community: GoedWare's Hub @ Discord
- You can win a nice little Amazon Gift Card prize by promoting our jam on social media (X, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, Insta, FB and many more) using the #GoedWareGameJam hashtag. It’s that simple to join in! 😄 Just use our hashtag and let us know by sending a message plus we check the socials with our own search.
