I again want to thank Genies for offering prizes for the jam! If you wouldn't mind taking a couple minutes to give Genies some feedback on their assets that would be awesome:

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Sasquatch B Game Jam!
We have been asked to host a jam several times in the past and are super excited to give it a go! The jam kicks off on August 27th, 2024 @ 7PM ET.
In this jam you will have 7 DAYS to create your very own game based on a secret theme.
Once the submissions are in, you will have one week to play and rate other people’s games and the Top 3 Community Rated games will be featured in a video on our Youtube channel.
ALSO - Thanks to Genies, a wonderful company that makes tools for developers that focus on avatar based games –for partnering with us for this jam, we are THRILLED to announce we will be offering CASH PRIZES to the Top 3 Games that have the highest overall score chosen by our designated judges. (more details in the rules section)
The only requirement for submission is that you use ONE asset from this pack.
(Note: You can use shaders/ change /stylize them till your heart is content, have fun with them!)

1st Place: $300USD
2nd Place: $150USD

If you’ve never finished a game before, maybe you’re new to game development, maybe you are a seasoned developer just looking for a fun challenge, or maybe an extra $300 sounds pretty sweet, come sign up for the jam!
Game jams are a great way to hone your skills, learn new things, get creative, and meet and collaborate with other devs, and of course the best part is you will walk away with a finished game, get some feedback from your peers and maybe even get featured in a video!
Join the Discord server where we have over 2400 members, this is a great way to connect with devs for teams! There is also a dedicated channel just for the jam, with tech support available several hours a day offered by our sponsor Genies.

Theme voting is now closed! Check out the theme announcement here:
All submissions will be rated in these 6 categories and tallied into an OVERALL score:
Theme, Fun, Innovation, Audio, Visuals & Best Use of Asset
Cash prize winners will be chosen based on ratings given by our 4 Judges,
Brandon Waite (Sasquatch B Studios), Nikki Waite (Sasquatch B Studios), Carl Domingo (Genies), Roger Crain (Genies), based on the top 3 best scores overall including all categories.
**This decision was made to ensure fairness and eliminate the possibility of cheating in regards to the prizes.**
The Top 3 COMMUNITY Voted Winners will also be featured on our Youtube Channel in the Jam winners video!
So whether or not you win a big cash prize, you still have an opportunity to take some of the spotlight on Youtube. AND all 6 winners will walk away with bragging rights of course, but also the legendary “Jam Champion” role on the Sasquatch B Discord server.
You will have one week from the end of the jam to play and rate as many games as possible! Community voting will close at 8PM ET September 10th, 2024.
Cash prize winners & winner announcement video will be announced on September 19th!!
Happy Jamming!!!
