So, throughout February, Kanobu held its event called GamesJamKanobu. True, in reality, this turned out to be not a classic “game jam”, but rather a festival in which everyone who wanted could take part.
There was neither a topic, nor even a “do everything for a month” condition. So someone actually did for 1 month, and someone came with a project that has been doing for years.

The event was definitely a success. For some, it became a kick. Someone found missing members on their team. And indeed - it showed that the industry is alive. After all, more than 400 projects were submitted to the competition!
Oleg (
Wozik ) already wrote a little about this event
in Habré .
Let's look at the winners.
The best seen.
At this stage, projects were taken on the "piece of paper". There was no need to draw or program. It was a text document that was evaluated.
1st place was taken by
Evolution . This is a mix of Black & White, Spore and RTS.
The best concept art.
In this nomination, the first place was taken by art for the project
Selenium drawn by Mikhail Rakhmatullin, an employee of Nival.

Best playable version.
Here, the 1st place was taken by a puzzler with an admixture of
Maze adventure.

The Grand Prix.
The main prize in the aggregate of all ratings was taken by our project
Video Hero Story , about the creation of which I
wrote articles on Habr all month.

Conclusion
I would like to express great respect to all the organizers and those involved in this event. In my opinion, such events make it possible to feel the main thing - a sense of the "vitality" of the industry, to feel that you are not alone. And this is great!
