Judging Criteria
Games will be judged by a panel of seven judges with the following criteria in mind:
- Suitability of theme
- User experience/UI
- Aesthetics (aural/visual)
- Engagement/replayability (juiciness!)
- Commercial potential
Application of the judging criteria will be at the judges’ sole discretion. The judges’ decisions are final and binding in all matters relating to the Game Jam.
Winners will be announced on 16 June 2019 during the prize presentation segment of the Game Jam. All jammers are required to be in attendance during the announcement of winners and prize presentation. Jammers are required to load the submission build of their games up on their desktops in TESLA during judging. Judges will be going around to play and judge the games. At least one member of the team needs to be present during judging.
All judging panel decisions are final.
