Now that the development part of the game jam is over, I want to ask everyone some thoughts about the jam, feedback, etc.

First, any suggestions or feedback about things that could be made better/clearer for future ones? I'm thinking going forward, to set the deadline for submissions to just 10 days, and start it on a Friday. My goal is that I want the entire jam, including judging be done in one month.

Second, people have expressed interest in doing more of these and I'm happy to oblige. I'm thinking maybe one a quarter, AKA, one every three months, is that too many, or is that good?

Now the big one. For this first one and hitting 10k subscribers, is why I set a prize for the winning team. There is no way I can afford to give a prize and support myself if this becomes a regular thing without asking for some kind of entry fee. If this is okay with everyone, I'm thinking the fee would be like $10-$15,  and the first $200 of it would go towards the prize pool for first place, anything else would go towards supporting me and the channel. If this does blow up, and we're talking a lot of entries and money, then I would expand the prize pool and maybe offer something for second and third place as well. If people don't want an entry fee, I'm fine with continuing it, but there would obviously not be a prize going forward other than bragging rights

And finally, to update people on what's happening next. I'm talking with my three judges now to set up a time for doing a special live showcase/judging stream of the entries for next week, after that's over, the judges and I will make final scoring and I'll put out a video to award the top three entries soon after.
