FAQ

Answers to all your questions about GameCamp Arena 2024 in one place!

What are the evaluation criteria?

The GameCamp Jury will evaluate the submitted projects in terms of technical and artistic quality. The projects with a large number of errors, unplayable, clearly unfinished (e.g., levels with clearly unfinished asset implementation, non-functional features, lack of sound, etc.), and poorly implemented networking (errors in player connections, stuttering, lag, etc.) will not be accepted.

It’s your team’s responsibility to test and make sure the game meets the evaluation criteria. In exceptional situations, we may extend the submission deadline if a minor error occurs at the finish line and it can be quickly fixed.

How to submit our project?

For publishing submission fill the submission form, including remaining assets, as game logo, key visuals, loading bar etc. included in the form.

Will we have technical support during the GameCamp?

Yes, technical support from Elympics developers will be available during the jam. You’ll be invited to GameCamp Telegram group where you’ll communicate as a team and to a channel where you can reach out to Elympics Devs for help.

Will my team keep the game copyright?

Yes, however, Elympics reserves the right to keep the game on the platform even if the game development team stops developing it.

What happens to our game after the GameCamp?

By submitting your game, you consent to keep it active on Telegram until 31 December 2024, 11:59:59 pm UTC - within this timeframe you are not allowed to remove it from the communicator nor remove our access to the game repository. At the same time, Elympics undertakes to host and service your game free of charge within this timeframe.

From 1 January 2025 on, you can take full control over the game and what happens to it next. However, Elympics reserves the right to contact selected creators to discuss the future of your game, including buying out the IP from you by Elympics or starting a paid cooperation that covers further game development (adding monetization and other features).

Can I join without a team?

Yes, however, you have to have a complete skill set aboard to deliver an amazing game. But we got you covered here - you’ll have the opportunity to team up with other solo participants via the Telegram group hosted by Elympics.

How to integrate our game with Telegram?

We got you covered here! When you install the SDK package according to the instructions provided by us, your game will be automatically integrated with Telegram. No extra configuration is needed on your end.
