Hello! The team and I were brainstorming some ideas to hopefully take part in the game jam this week in house. November is notoriously our busiest month, and I know the team could do with a couple days being a bit more creative instead of working on our upcoming January game launch.
From the prompt “Everything Has A Cost” we had the wacky idea to essentially do a promotion of our upcoming game, and donate money to the Jingle Jam through the game jam; essentially just using our advertising budget (that will have been spent on things like Reddit Ads) and actually do some good with it instead. The main thing we have the marketing budget for is to increase Steam Wishlists, but if we can make a game in the jam and pledge 50p to the Jingle Jam for every new Wishlist (up to a couple of grand) then surely it is a win-win that’s on theme. Just wanted to drop a message to get your thoughts on this.
Obviously, we don’t want do a promotion and lump anyone in without checking. We are just thinking that we can actually donate a bunch of money, that otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to justify, to charity and also the folks over here can justify a few days worry-free by technically helping the project but doing something a bit more fun.
