RANKING:

POST-JAM CO-OP BUNDLE:

  • To continue The Games beyond the event itself, Submissions may be included in an optional Co-Op Games Bundle to be assembled following the Jam in association with Bundle Everywhere.
  • To ensure the spread of good will offered by the entrants, the bundle price will be Pay What You Want (PWYW) with a tentative launch date of September 1st, 2024 and a duration of 1 Month.
  • The Top 3 games submitted to the bundle as Judged by the Jam Hosts will receive a higher split of any revenue generated (think appropriate Gold, Silver, Bronze breakdowns) with the remainder split equally amongst remaining participants.
    • We will strongly consider Ranking as provided by participants so please do Rate!
  • Further details will be set as the Jam progresses and are dependent on the number of Submissions to the Bundle. 
  • Be sure to tick the box during Submission to be considered!
