When will the theme be announced and could the prize not be something better... say a free trial month at hackingstons
Sorry about that, I have been traveling and forgot to update the theme on the main page. That's my mistake
THE THEME IS "RENEW"!!!
As for the prizes, we offer admission into the games division discord as part of the prize package for anyone who gets chosen for the category. I've talked about offering free Hackingtons tuition for winners, but I am not ultimately in control of that decision. But since I run the Discord, I can make sure you get support that way as a congratulations for victory. Plus there's actually more going on in the Games Division discord than general Hackingtons for game development. Thank you for your understanding!
Good question.
Jam winners for every category will be edited and cut into an advertisement preroll for youtube. the plan is to push the video in front of common tutorial YTers (e.g. Brackeys) to maximize visibility. We will also showcase the individual category winners on the Hackingtons facebook page, and on our Games Division program web page.
In terms of what will be included, we're going to leave that up to you guys as creators. However, it will be on top of the game you created and won with this Jam. Many students may not actually want their socials shared, so when the winners are decided, we will reach out to you and ask you what you want to be shown on the page/advertisement.
