PerceptionDecentraland Blog - Game Jam creations too good to ignore - 17. October 2019“Game Jam has raised the bar for the quality of content in Decentraland. In the process, the community has come closer together than ever before. It was wonderful to see a completely selfless spirit of helping each other grow in our Discord channels.” - Chief architect of Game Jam 2019, Decentrand’s Nico Earnshaw“I think it was fantastic! As an investor in VR and Crypto, this was so much fun to see where creators are starting to overlap the technologies. Some of the experiences were super impressive, and I’m excited for all the next generation content built on Decentraland!”— Adam Draper, Founder and MD, Boost VC“There were a lot of really, really cool places. It was great to take my time exploring each scene. It feels like everyone is creating a giant world together and I think that a world that contains all of these scenes will look wild!” — @jupiter_hadley, Founder, indiegamejams.com“I wanted to see the game developers’ creativity and imagination which could be very different from that of traditional games. The concept of each game was fascinating. After polishing the quality and optimizing technology, Decentraland could be a new way to enjoy virtual life.”— Ethan Kim, Co-Founder and Partner at Hashed“I was looking not only for dynamic scenes, but also for innovation in the ways in which users can interact and immerse themselves within a scene. The overall quality of entries was high and didn’t fail to meet expectations.”­ — Riorio from @dcl_plazas, Founder, dclplazas.comWinnersDecentraland Blog - Game Jam 2019: The results are in! - 15.

RulesItch - Decentraland Game Jam 2024 - 1. May 2024
Create a new Decentraland game that can be installed and enjoyed on a 4x4 parcel at Decentraland Game Expo 2024. To be considered for a chance to win, each entry should:
# Be inspired by the theme “NEON FAIRGROUND”. Create a new twist on classic funfair or carnival games like Ring Toss, Whack-a-Mole, Shooting Gallery, Skee-Ball, Duck Pond, Dart Throw, High Striker, Coconut Shy or Frog Hop.
#Be optimized to run at more than 30 FPS in a 4x4 parcel in Decentraland. The maximum file size is 240MB, but as your game will be judged on fps and optimization, we recommend 120MB or below. Your game must be exactly 64m x 64m in size, and no more than 160,000 triangles or 80m in height. Review these optimization guidelines and full scene limitations.
#Be written using version 7 of Decentraland’s SDK (SDK 7) and submitted as a public GitHub repository. If you are new to SDK 7, start with these tutorials.
#Include one win condition which could allow players to claim a reward. If your game wins the jam, the Decentraland Foundation will connect this win condition to the Decentraland Quests Service. This will dispense a ticket to players which can be redeemed for a reward Wearable or Emote at the DCLGX Welcome Area**. The win condition is up to you and can be simple like gaining a certain amount of points or finishing the game within a defined time.
#Be reasonably easy to play at level one. From there, the difficulty is up to you! Game instructions for players must be self-evident when entering your game. Judges will experience your game as a player, they won’t read your code or the GitHub README file.
