Hello SoloDevelopment Game Jam participants!

We’ve got an important update regarding the voting process for this jam. Originally, the plan was to have all entries judged solely by our selected panel. However, we’ve decided to make things a bit more interactive and community-driven!

Updated Voting Process

Community Voting:

- All submitters will now have the opportunity to vote on each other's entries. Your votes will contribute to the main competition results, giving you a direct say in recognizing the standout games created during the jam.

Judges' Voting for Prizes:

- For those aiming to win a share of the prize pool, a separate judging process will take place. Our panel of judges, including CaptainCoder and PracticalNPC, will evaluate eligible entries with a more critical eye using a Google form. Prizes will be awarded based on this stricter evaluation.

Prize Pool Eligibility:

- If you're interested in competing for the prizes, please make sure to check the appropriate box during submission. It's crucial that you follow all the guidelines to be considered for the prize pool. The criteria will be more rigorous, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Participation without Prizes:

- If you prefer to participate without competing for prizes, you’re still welcome to join in the fun! You can submit your game, receive feedback, and vote on other entries without the added pressure of prize eligibility.

Please make sure you’re following all the rules if you’re interested in the prize pool, and don’t hesitate to reach out on our community page or Discord if you have any questions.

Let’s make this jam a great one! We’re excited to see what everyone creates!
