Welcome to our $50,000 Prize Pool Build Jam!
This will run from 18th February 12:00 (Midday) GMT - 22nd February 23:45pm GMT
THEME - DUNGEON MASTER!
- We want packages and blueprints that help creators become their very own dungeon master creator. Elements of an adventure in this theme! We're thinking traps, rooms, social spaces to play with your friends, lighting, kit bashed monsters. Get creating!
New to Crayta? Why not join our Discord and chat with the team and community to learn how you could take part!
PRIZES
Overall 1st Place - $10,000
2nd Place - $8,000
3rd Place - $5,000
And then we also have exciting specific awards of $3,000 to give out.
Documentation award - The entry with the best write-up that explains how to use it perfectly, even for the earliest of creators.
Technically impressive - Even our devs aren't sure how you did this...
Best Social space components - Every dungeon needs a place to meet up? Elements for a hangout or social interaction.
Aesthetically pleasing - Just beautiful to look at, and effort spent to make it that way.
Most versatile - We can see this entry being used in countless different ways, and easy to use!
Best UI based package - Does what it says on the tin! Flex your UI skills.
Best use of lighting - Nothing makes a dungeon like atmospheric lighting.
Small and polished - Attention to detail; not overly complicated, but perfect.
We'll also have up to six $500 runners-up prizes for those honourable mentions that we just have to tell people about. It'll be possible to win more than one of these categories but we'd love to see as much variety as possible; so get building!
What is a Build Jam?
Instead of making a full game for this Jam, we want you to create something that the whole community can use in their own creations. This can be one of two things - a Package, or brand new for this jam, a Blueprint, to help creators start their creation journey!
Packages can be coding, art, or a combination, but the most important thing is that they're easy to use, or well explained, and will help creators build their own games. Could be anything from buildings, to a working TV with channels, to coded turrets.
Blueprints are starting places for games, just like our Starter games, such as Time Trial and Tycoon, rather than complete games. They are the bare bones; which could be just the logic and black-boxing or could be an empty map ready for someone to code their own mechanic.
For more ideas on what packages are, head to the Forum: https://forum.crayta.com/c/package-guides/9

FAQ
Can I use other packages in my entries?
- Yes, if they are useful for what you are making, but we will take into account how much of it is your own creation
Can I submit multiple entries?
- Of course, but you may be better off spending time to make sure one entry is as useful and perfected as possible!
Once You're Ready To Submit
PACKAGE
Turn your build, whether it's code, voxels, physical or whatever, into a 'Package' in Crayta. If you're not how to do that, check the Tutorial on it on our Developer Page or join our Discord.
Once you're done, make sure to create a Package Guide on the Forum, and link it on the submission here on the itch page! You'll find an example submission on there to get you started!
Feel free to create a showcase game/world, which shows off the way your package could be used, or the environments it looks best in! Please link this in your submission also, using the link found on the Companion site!
BLUEPRINT
Publish your blueprint when you're ready, making sure to click the correct box to publish AS BLUEPRINT.
Create a guide on the Blueprint section on the Forum, and link it to your submission right here on the itch page.
