Use the tag specified in the rules on your entry

You mean Game-Fan-Jam? (Without quotation marks or with?)

Via Summer Jams organizer @BrandyBuizel:

Summer Animation Jams ROUND 3

Our judges for ROUND 2 need just a little more time (update: winners announced) to deliberate and choose the winners, but we want you all to have as much time as possible to create your animations for ROUND 3 and so...

ROUND 3 begins TODAY! Theme revealed further down in this post.

RULES and GUIDELINES

The entire event will be 4-5 rounds where individual creators are scored and awarded points according to their animation's ranking in each round. There are no eliminations and you are not required to participate in every round (though it will increase your chances of placing first).

Winners for each round will be announced within a week of each round conclusion. Points will be awarded as such:

1st: 15pts
2nd: 14pts
3rd: 13pts
4th: 12pts
5th: 11pts
6th: 10pts
7th: 9pts
8th: 8pts
9th: 7pts
10th: 6pts
11th: 5pts
12th: 4pts
13th: 3pts
14th: 2pts
15th: 1pt

By the end of the summer the creator with the most points will be crowned the winner!

You may work with a team or work on multiple entries per round, but each entry MUST specify the LEAD ANIMATOR who will get the points; this will be the project owner/author unless otherwise specified. You may only submit one entry per round as the lead animator.

The use of mixed-media is greatly encouraged this year though not at all a requirement. Bring your own personal brand and style in all of the works you submit or use these jams as an excuse to try something new!

Round 3 theme:

Game Fan Anim Jam
“Create a fan animation of a game or games published on NG in 2021”

The idea is pretty simple, nothing is cooler than receiving fanart, recently Friday Night Funkin' got to experience a ton of that love earlier this year in the form of an animation jam, but that's not the only extra-special, awesome web game on Newgrounds, so we're bringing the idea back in a bold new flavor.

Consider “Petrock Rocket Racing” by @DragonCoke, why do these little guys race? Do they feel? 

JAM REQUIREMENTS

Upload your animation to Newgrounds any time between now and the due date. There is no formal signup process, just tag your entry with “Game-Fan-Jam” to enter.

A bunch of fresh games were just submitted to @Figburn’s July Game Jam, browse the entries if you’d like to make something related to their theme: “Egg”.

Music must not present licensing / royalty issues. Good resources include the Audio Portal (see Creative Commons info or ask for permission), an original composition by a teammate or one of these many royalty-free resources.

Browse the Games Portal and play some games!!

ROUND 3 Judges:

@BrandyBuizel - Did you expect someone else?

@TomFulp - Founder of Newgrounds, finalist contestant for the chillest guy on planet earth, and recently bestowed the “Pioneer Award” at the 2021 Game Developers Conference (GDC).

@ninjamuffin99 - The most followed user on Newgrounds, cityhoppin speedrunner, and the creative mind behind Breathing Simulator.

@64bitsanimation - These 3 guys know a little something about making successful and visually stunning fan animations for video games.

@Derpixon - Not only are they the 2nd most followed account on the website, but they make some pretty kickass video game parodies like Persona 5 and Final Fantasy 7.

@Figburn - Hosted the previously mentioned July Game Jam here on NG.

@Cymbourine - Our first returning judge, voice of one of the Monster Mashing girls, working on updating her Madness Dating Sim, creator of the rad promo banner down below, and GAMER!

Judges can choose to participate in a round, but they will not be considered in the rankings for that round.

Due Date:
Sunday, August 15th 11:59PM PST
Happy Animating!

YOU STILL SHOULD RELEASE IT!

EVEN IF IT"S BEEN A WHILE!

Nah, we can't, unfortunately :(
