I love the idea of advertisement for a prize (since marketing a game can be harder than making it 😅) but I was curious, what all will be put in the ad slots/social media posts? Like will it be the game we made, our itch pages/socials, a game of our choice, etc.?
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.
