Game submissions for the QUDO GameJam must have QUDO integrated, which is currently compatible only with the Unity Game Engine. We understand that game developers have different preferences and we are actively working to expand QUDO's compatibility with other game engines in the near future. However, for the time being, Unity is the chosen platform for unleashing the full potential of QUDO in your game development endeavors.

In this particular QUDO GameJam, we are exclusively accepting games developed for PC and Mobile (iOS/Android). The QUDO SDK is currently compatible only with these platforms, ensuring seamless integration of web3 features. We acknowledge that there may be interest in expanding to other platforms in the future and we will keep you updated on any developments regarding compatibility with additional platforms.

How do I submit a game?

To submit your game, you will need to upload it to itch.io, following the same process as you would for any other game. Once uploaded, provide all the necessary files and additional details for your game.

Please ensure that your game is made available for free (or allow players to choose "any amount") on itch.io. Set the game status as "released" rather than "draft".

Afterward, return to this page on itch.io and click on the "submit game" button. From the dropdown box, select your game and proceed to answer the required questions to finalize your submission.

To confirm that your game is successfully entered in the jam, visit your game's itch.io page and look for the badge labeled "Submission to the QUDO GameJam 2023" in the top right corner.

Disclaimer:

Once the Jam ends, the QUDO team cannot help you get your game uploaded or changed during this time.

Can I change my game after the jam ends?

Once the jam ends, there will be a rating period (details below) where no changes to your game are allowed. Uploading new versions, bug fixes, or additional content is locked during this time. Please hold back from including links to alternate builds or making requests for players to try different versions in your description or comments to avoid disqualification. The version you upload before the jam closes will be the one played and judged.

Deleting your game during this period will result in disqualification, as we won't be able to assist you.

However, you can still update your game's page, including the thumbnail, description, screenshots, and design, during this time. It is recommended to make any desired changes quickly, as most ratings occur at the beginning of the rating period.

Once the rating period ends, you are free to update your game, charge for it, and release it on other platforms. The game is yours to do with as you wish!

Are the games judged?

Absolutely! Over the course of one week after the jam, the QUDO team will rate games based on Enjoyment, Creativity, Presentation, and QUDO implementation. These criteria contribute to the overall rating of your game.

After the rating period, the QUDO team will select the top 3 favorites for rewards.
