RE: Prepare for the first edition of the SteemitJam (Game creation event) starting on January 5th!
Are you sure judging by the upvote payout is a good idea? Someone who has a whale friend will have a huge advantage even if his game is crappy, And someone whose game is in better quality and even have more friends but no one of them have enough SP will be disadvantaged.
One vote by curie can make a person win and not all of people are eligible for curie. I think there should be more fair way of judging.
But that's just me, if I enter I won't make winning a priority.
I'm more concerned about how this contest will be viewed in the future, if the winning work wasn't as good as many other entries.
By the way, I'm think sure this contest can be approved in @utopian-io since its about open source games (maybe not) did you talk with them?
I did not talk with @utopian-io, but I think I will remove the winning mechanic, I've just asked @poet and @roundbeargames for their opinion. Tell me what do you think about this : Instead of picking a winner, we could write blogs on our favorite games. What do you think? Also, how would I proceed to talk with @utopian-io for this? Thanks!
i guess people can post things if they don't agree with what the best game is. if enough people feel the same way we should be able to see it in the voting results.
payouts or vote counts or filtered vote counts. they're all legit numbers we can relate to, so any one or (even a combination) is fine imo.
i'm guessing @loomy will announce the winners/personal favorites/reviews/etc at the end of each gamejam. as long as the numbers are there i'm probably gonna agree with his decision. in fact @loomy you can write about a winner AND all sorts of other things too.
as for @utopian-io, if you're following the rules you can post on both sides. i don't even know if you need any talking at all.
I will personally review each game (Oh and don't forget to support Linux systems! I also have Windows on another computer though). I will say what I liked about them and what is to improve. I will also pick my personal favorites for different categories (Fun, sound, art, innovation and overall). I encourage people to do so, but it is not mandatory.
This is Amazing idea, I'm looking forward to it now!!
I don't know a lot about utopian myself, but they're active if you contact them... And you only have to use their site (use your steemit username and POSTING password) and post announcement for this contest there (probably too late since it's already starting).
Oh, you probably have to make a github page for the contest and you might need to put some open source games in it (I suggest putting a copies of the entries and make that a requirement to enter, though I don't know if it's a good idea), But for a start just documentation is okay.
The worst thing that can happen if you do that is @utopian-io folks say to you that "the project isn't accepted." The best thing that can happen is you get a huge sponsors for the contest.
Thanks for the feedback, I will proceed normally with this first edition, but I will try to reach out if we decide that we want another game jam!
