Another game jam in the books! With so many great entries this year, it was a very difficult decision to narrow down which we felt deserved the spotlight! A huge thanks to my friends on the staff team who also judged alongside me: @Pi25, @theluxdiablo, and @King_Waluigi!

Before you scroll past and see the winners, a big thanks to everyone who participated in any way! Congratulations to those that submitted an entry, but also thanks to those that helped on a team, played through the entries and provided feedback to the devs, and everyone else that makes this community so great! More on community later... We decided on two spotlight winners, so please take a look:

Community Choice Spotlight - Abyssal Shroud by @felcatty, @Hedgehoggers, @Willøw, & @S3th

Congratulations on being chosen by Professor Lotus! You have been chosen to join a research project to catalog the Pokémon that inhabit an island in the archipelago. You'll be tasked with collecting and recording what you see on your journey and delivering it to Lotus. But something is wrong with this island that goes beyond the understanding of the natives who live here. Will you find out what it is and return safely, or will you fail trying?

Community Choice Spotlight - Pokémon Shifting Skies by @Geoswag & @Altarax

You play as Geoffrey, a devoted father living in the peaceful village of Evergreen Hollow.
After a fateful encounter between your Castform and a furious mother Ursaring, you’re enlisted by two of the village's scientists to test the capabilities of a revolutionary new invention of theirs : the ChronoBarometer.
But the deeper you investigate, the clearer it becomes that Evergreen Hollow and its surroundings aren't as tranquil as they first seem.
Ancient forces are stirring, secrets are unraveling, and the skies themselves may not remain peaceful forever...
Can Geoffrey protect his home and family while navigating the dangers he never asked for?

Community Choice Spotlight - Pokémon Forecast by @Foxowl & @Ekat

---

In Pokémon Forecast, you take on the role of a young astronomer, fresh out of graduate school, returning to a lab high in the mountains you once worked at before.
The Gran Xatu Lab, a weather station, observatory, and seismic monitoring facility, is abuzz with energy as it prepares for the Pokémon Grand Prix, an upcoming traveling tournament.
You want nothing more than to settle into your work and bask in the beautiful scenery... but fate has other plans!
Accompanied by your trusty Starmie, a mysterious Castform, and if you're lucky, a couple other friends, you'll have to fight to survive as the lab descends into a weather-based chaos!
Of course, you'll also have to deal with communitarian scientists, sleep-deprived engineers, zealous security guards, and the mysterious Clean Room...
It can't all be harder than a PhD, right...?
