The Halloween 2023 Hardcore Jam
The Halloween 2023 Hardcore Jam was a contest hosted hosted in the Hardcore Community Discord Server on September 29th, 2023 by Soda and is a sequel to The Summer 2023 Hardcore Jam. Contestants had until November 3rd, 2023 to record and create a one-episode Hardcore project that met the following conditions:
- No more than 2 editors for a single project.
- It must be under 30 minutes in length.
- The host must say "Spooky kabooky Halloween special, GO!" at the start of the intro. (Not strictly enforced, though)
Unlike the previous Jam, any game is eligible, but there are no prizes for anybody who places in the Top 3.
Top 5 Edit
After the Jams were shown off, a poll was conducted on November 8th. The top three five voted Jams were announced on November 17th, and can be seen down below.
