This event/competition/challenge is started by me (@Find.The.Markers) and all the currencies, rewards, and prizes are handled by me, not Hopscotch. You can find other similar self-started events in the latest #competitions-and-events or #shops-and-requests topics, or even start one yourself. Because this is started by me, Hopscotch and the forum leaders are not involved or responsible in any of the transactions here.
Welcome to the First Official Marker Jam!!!
Here’s how it works:
On 2023-01-16T06:00:00Z, a project theme will be announced.
Using that specific theme, you have to make a project you will have 5 days to make a project, having the competition end on 2023-01-22T06:00:00Z.
So, technically 144 hours.
In those 144 hours, try to include as many of the features that can earn you points!
On day 3 of the competition, a bonus theme will be announced.
Use this theme for bonus points!
Here’s how you can earn points.
Theme- Up to 20 points (Points are earned on how well the theme is displayed).
Creativity- Up to 15 points (Points are earned on how originally the theme is used, and how creative the game genre works).
Entertainment- Up to 12 points (Enjoyment is crucial in a game; try to make it as enjoyable as possible for as long as possible).
Complexity- Up to 10 points (Complexity in gameplay mechanics can add to this score. Coding things that are naturally challenging to code also contributes to points here).
Mechanics- Up to 10 points (Better game functions means better games! Try to make the game work as interestingly as possible).
Polish- Up to 10 points (Try to make your graphics as fitting and pretty as possible for points here. Try sticking to a color scheme with good contrast and fitting sizes for in-game objects).
Gameplay- Up to 10 points (Try to make gameplay interesting and fitting with the theme. If any, try to make plot as interesting as possible, so the player will want to keep playing.)
Bonus theme- Up to 8 points (Points are earned on how well the bonus theme is displayed).
All that adds up to 95 points; make sure to include these as much as possible in your game!!!
Anybody can participate once the competition begins!
