The Sandbox is hosting a Star Atlas Game Jam

After teaming up for a VoxEdit Contest, The Sandbox and Star Atlas are back at it again for another exciting partnership. This time, The Sandbox will run a Star Atlas Game Jam with 30,000 SAND and NFTs in prizes. 

Starting from October 17th, all aspiring game designers are welcome to create fun games based on the Star Atlas universe. Each entry must be designed using the Game Maker software and must be at least 5 minutes long with some playability. In addition, each game must feature at least 25 different assets following the theme/storyline of Star Atlas. 

Participants can work independently or form a team of up to 4 members to work on their entries. Each submission must be unique and not copied exactly from existing experiences. 

The last entry submission date is November 13th at 3 pm (UTC). All entries will be judged by The Sandbox's and Star Atlas' staff based on the following criteria: 

  • Overall idea (25 Points)
  • Level/Game Design (25 Points)
  • Creativity (25 Points)
  • Star Atlas Lore (25 Points)
  • Bonus Points for Wow Factor (Up to 25 Points Extra)

  1. Best overall idea
  2. Best game design
  3. Most creative/unique submission

Each winner will walk away with 7,500 SAND, 3 Star Atlas Game Keys, 3 Fimbul Airbikes, and 3 Fimbul Lowbies.
