The Games Division at Hackington's Code School wants to encourage the next generation of game developers to participate in collaborative and challenging game jams. That's because we believe game jams are a cornerstone of learning how to become a better developer. Like any art, practice is critical to progression. This is how you can prepare for college-level game development and beyond!
But more to the point, think of BEANS in the Unity Capsule Primitive sense. We want you to feel able to explore any of your ideas using the basic shapes because this jam is about TRYING and not about perfection. So many students believe they must produce such-and-such quality before it's worth sharing.
No!
Finish your work because this process of "getting it done" is a hard skill to learn, and low-stress game jam environments are where your beans can fly free!!!!
The winner of each judging category will be promoted on all social media platforms, including sponsored ad slots on popular game tutorial YT channels! Get seen :D
All entries will be judged by the general itch.io public, and other participants of the jam, so that includes you!
Your game needs at least 10 ratings in any of the categories to be considered for winning. When you rate a game and leave feedback, they can see your game in exchange. The more games you rate, the more your game will get rated!
The rating categories are:
The Judges' Choice rating is determined by Hackingtons, and we decide what we believe to be the best overall game from all the submissions. This is considered the grand prize!
After the jam submission deadline, there is a 1 week rating period, but we reserve the right to take down any submissions that are clearly vote brigaded (that means if you bring your whole Discord server to vote for just your game, we're going to disqualify it).
Anything you make during the Hackingtons Under18 Jam is your property. Hackingtons claims no rights or ownership of your game.
Any game submitted to the Hackingtons Under18 Jam may show up in a Hackingtons YouTube video or other published recording without your express permission.
Itch.io's terms of service states that you must be of at least age 13 to create an account.
