The theme for the 35th ScoreJam is..

Roll the dice

We're super excited to announce that Playgama is sponsoring our event!

This is a game jam that involves both gamedevs and streamers in the contest. 

The competition starts with the game developers. Their job is to create a game with a high score feature within a 72-hour period. Once the time runs out, the games are judged by participants, streamers, and hosts. After the top three games are chosen, the torch is passed to the streamers.

The second part of the competition is for game streamers. The goal for the streamers is to get a high score in one of the top three games in 48 hours. Once the time runs out the streamers submit their recording and the players who achieve the highest score in each game win.

We are extremely excited to announce that ScoreSpace will begin to publish games on Discord Activities and Web!

All games entered in the contest are automatically considered for a publishing deal with us!!!

All games must include a leaderboard system (offline or online) so that the players can compete for a high score if they happen to win the contest. 

You can make the game on your own or in a team of up to 4 people. You can find other people to team up with on our Discord.

All game engines are allowed!

If AI was used in your submission, indicate the areas where it contributed in your description

You and your team are encouraged to make everything from scratch during the event. If you use any pre-made assets you must list them in the description of the game and you must have the rights to use said assets.

Also, the Playgama Bridge documentation has everything you need — from step-by-step guides to handy tips.

The games will be rated by developers who participated in the jam.

The developers vote based on the categories below.

• Gameplay: How did the game flow, did it have tight controls, what was your experience while playing
• Theme: How well did the entry stick to the theme, did you like their interpretation of it
• Aesthetics: How well does the game utilize its visual style and how appealing is it
• Sound: How well do the music and sound contribute to the game

The top games played by the streamers and the winners of the jam are separate from the prize winners who use Playgama.

The top 5 games that use Playgama will split a $1000 prize pool: 

1st: $400

2nd: $250

3rd: $200

4th: $100

Reminder:  If you’re aiming for the cash prize, you need to build a web build with Playgama Bridge SDK and submit that build.
