With 100 games, holy cow, you guys really did that.
We had over 600 people signed up for the game jam that happened two weeks ago.
And we had 100 entries into the jam.
That's the biggest VR jam that has ever happened on each.
Holy cow.
Congratulations, guys, that was super fun.
And a lot of you put out some really, really high quality games, I went through and played
a bunch of them, I could not play all of them, I made the mistake of playing all of them
live last time.
And that was that was just hard and dizzy.
And I almost puked a few times.
But this time I played them from the privacy of my own room without you guys watching.
So the winners, as I will talk about here in a second, we're all rated by the community.
From the hosts, we were just kind of there to facilitate.
So on behalf of me Dinesh from immersive insiders, Valium VR with Andrew and Delmar, thank you
for participating.
And a special shout out to our sponsor actually, of Unity unity sponsored the Game Jam, the
winners are actually going to be getting Unity Pro licenses.
So special thank you to unity for helping us facilitate this.
And then the winners also got some asset keys too.
So we'll be looking out for the next one, we're probably going to be doing a another
game jam here in maybe about six months or so we're going to try to space it out to about
two a year, I think is a good cadence and what the feedback y'all have been giving to
us has been.
And first before I get into this, the theme was one time use if you are not aware, so
the goal was to have something or some element that was only a one time use item, or one
time use mechanic or you know, basically however you wanted to creatively express one time
use.
So let's talk about the winners in third place, we had do che art and this one is just hilarious.
In this game, create art from one time use throw away double items.
So you basically are in the super nice Hall, this Art Hall and you are gluing together
these one time use items and they sell for millions of dollars.
It's it's quite hilarious.
In second place cards of destiny by United gamers.
And this one was actually honestly this one was really really cool.
I when I was playing this for the first time, I knew that this one was going to be in the
top few.
And I actually recommended this one to a few people as I was talking over the last couple
of weeks because of just the uniqueness and how cool it is.
And it's really like a tabletop vibe.
But all the characters are running around on this tabletop.
And the the goal of the game is you use your one time use cards to protect these humans
get them to their final destination protect them from some aliens or natural disasters.
But just the concept of having a tabletop game where you're in this VR environment,
you've got a nice little surrounding and atmosphere and then having your characters being able
to walk around in front of you and you can move around and get up close and look at them
was a really cool vibe.
And I see a lot of cool games in this genre kind of coming out and I almost see this be
coming a an entire VR genre very much like DiMeo in this kind of case.
So props to the winner there.
And good job cards of destiny.
And number one overall is it was punch them all and this one was this one was actually
very solid solid entry.
It was very well executed and it felt like a finished polished game.
It had a lot of those, you know the particle effects and sound effects.
And honestly just the way the menu worked absolutely incredible.
And the winners for this one were Rito Salgado, and etheric editor at retake.
Thank you for participating in our game jam y'all did amazing.
We've already been talking chatting back and forth and you hopefully have your prizes by
now by the time this video is posted.
Congrats, very well done.
So two person dev team for this one and very, very solid entry.
And you know, obviously the community thought so as well ranked number one in literally
every country criteria.
Number one for enjoyment number one for use of theme number one for the presentation,
and number one for the concept.
And so the idea for this game was you are basically managing a town of Um, townsfolk
that are becoming restless and you have to punch them all with your glove that shoots
out of your rear rocket propelled glove that shoots out of your hand.
So you get to shoot your glove and it goes flying, and you have to bounce it off walls
and control it with your little screen.
And honestly, I had a bunch of fun playing this, you can just bounce your glove off walls,
the sound effects, like I said, are really solid, they make you feel really immersed,
it runs well, it's well optimized, the menu system is very unique and really cool.
And it's a little effects like when you do when you punch the menu to select an item,
the letters just kind of fly apart.
And you know, the little nuances like that were just excellent.
So props to you guys.
Very well done, and you earned the you are in the title of winner of the VR jam 2022.
But wait, before you go, I have a honorable mention that honestly, you know, I thought
was just really fun to play.
And I just found myself sprawled out on the floor, like, you know, grabbing things like
a maniac.
And that one was one time swipe.
And they actually ranked seventh overall, it was game dolphin, I don't know if it was
one or multiple developers.
But the this one was a very simple theme it was the concept was you had been acquiring
all of these cards over the course of some kind of some time.
And then you had two minutes that this company was giving you to swipe as many cards as you
had collected.
And that was going to give you a bonus or money or some kind of credit towards the store,
whatever, I really got the vibe of like we're telling you, it's an infomercial, and you
have two minutes left to call in, except instead of calling in, you're swiping as many cards
as possible.
And I really loved the fact that I had to like grab coffee cups and like dump them out
and cards would spill out and then you just start panic swiping across this little desk
reader.
And like even in like the flower pot, and like in file folders and whatnot, you're just
like finding cards everywhere.
It was pretty hilarious.
And honestly, I it was very fun, very good feeling mechanic.
And, you know, I had a lot of fun with this one.
So number seven for one time, swipe your our honorable mention.
Congratulations to you as well.
We don't really have a prize for the honorable mention.
But props to you.
So those are our winners, I thank each and every one of them for participating.
And if you did not win, I thank you for participating as well.
We had over like 1200 people rate all the games.
So if you participated in the jam, you were able to rate all the games.
So we had over 1200 ratings, which is absolutely incredible.
And honestly, it was just really fun.
And game jams in and of itself.
If you especially if you find a little bit of a little group of people to do the game
jam with, they are really fun.
And you get to test your skills and learn a lot of things really quickly.
It really exposes what you don't know, and pushes you towards that knowledge, which is
what this channel is all about is just getting VR developers together to learn how to make
better VR games.
And you know, maybe make a career out of it.
