Thoughts
Another game jam has come to an end! Thank you for your patience as our judges played through 34 entries!! With our Winter Game Jam earlier this year having 29 entries, it's amazing... and a little overwhelming as we gather more and more entries! I hope you learned your lesson and took this time to play through as many entries as you could, because now it's time for the Community Spotlight vote! I hope you can understand why it took us this long to play through and judge each of the entries. In fact, give a shout out to our judges this time around...

While you could guess who won through process of elimination by looking at the poll, let me announce the winners proper! The judges had the difficult task of narrowing down the list to five entries, which means five Judge Spotlights! Here we go, in order of release:
You're gonna go live in that giant creepy abandoned mansion in the middle of the woods. Why? Well, some guys in the local library said a vampire used to live there, duh! Of course, breaking into this giant creepy abandoned mansion is not the only thing you've set out to do today. If it was just about moving in, you would have done that already. No, you needed to do something more important first: Finish crafting the recipe of a potion that probably maybe might turn you into a vampire!!!

You've awoken in a cool, underground lab. You're not human, but not Pokémon. You move your freshly built mechanical body out of the machine. During your creation process, you've been asked questions, but not given any answers for yourself. Picking up the presents left behind for you, you make your way up to the surface. In front of you a maze sprawls, and, not too far on the horizon a tower, taller than the clouds, looms over the landscape. Why are you awake? What are you needed for? You set off on a journey to find out...

"This is definitely more of a game made as an excuse to code something cool than to tell a story. Technically though, it was more planned out than any of my entries so far, but that doesn't really mean much haha. Went into it with just the Growlithe and Skiddo powers, and the intro. Oh and the fact it's all ghosts."
