Almost tempted to spend the next 10 months making the best level I can solely for the potential humour of having someone with Jam in their name winning the Jam gauntlet creator contest
I'm pretty sure tons of people would love to participate in this CC regardless of whether or not there is a cash prize, you don't need to spend money for levels, Jam
Congrats on 55,555 subscribers! You’re an incredible creator and you deserve more! I probably won’t place, but this is too fun not to try - best luck to everyone entering!!
Idea collected: Taking the 1.0 style and turning it into a sort of simulation style! You'd probably start in some grassland, a bit like the beginning of (you guessed it) Glorious Fortress. There, the player will encounter some enigmatic portal taking them to a vast blue corridor, with some static-looking black and white structures combined with some odd looking... jump rings? Anyway, as the player traverses through this seemingly adorable level, something happens. The world begins to jitter. The corridor inexplicably shifts colours. Things move and rotate on their own command. This isn't much apparent when you first see it... but it gets worse as time passes. By the end, absolutely unexplainable things happen. Your icons pass through solid blocks, collide with background or foreground structures, and everything seems to be on it's last legs. Eventually, everything turns to black. What was that place? Where are you now? Will you ever get out? Were you playing a game... ... or was thåt ğąmé pĽAÝing ÝŒŰ-
Honestly… I’ve been working on a level rn and I think it’s pretty feature worthy. Ima also start another project for this too. It’ll be a cartoony cave style and I’m shooting for feuture-epic rate. It’ll take Probobly the full 10 months (hopefully not more) but this is gonna be my new project I guess! I’m excited to see what happens, thanks for this opportunity lol
Damn, I might actually consider joining a contest for a change. Giving your audience the ability to contribute to *your* cinematic world by expanding it with different unique themed locations is actually an extremely cool idea and is probably one of the coolest ideas for a Creator Contest, like *ever.* Also the prizes really don't matter here, because anyone who wins will get the most ULTIMATE prize of all - *their levels will become a part of the JAMATTACK CANON!* If that's not the most epic reward of any unofficial CC ever hosted, I really don't know what is.
I’m excited to be working on a level with 3 others for this CC, this will be my first CC with an actual decent prize although I’m not expecting to win. Gl to me and the rest of RiverTeam though, hopefully we can make something worthy of being mentioned in this :)
I suck at creating but I have a free idea any creators wanna use. Since the cellar path in like a dark place and the glorious fortress is brighter, you guys should make an underwater type of level. You can also add submarines for your transitions. Sometimes the player will also go up to the shore. At the end of the level, the player will be seizing the blue gem underwater with stone monuments and Poseidon-like protectors around it. Good luck on your builds.
I'm really excited to see how this turns out and i wish i had the GD editor skills to get a level slightly in the top, maybe top 50? But I'm soo hyped!
My current thought process: >"Hmm Hard Demons are usually rare to be built, I should do that" >"Hmm but then people would think the same and make more Hard Demons too, so I have to counter it by making a medium demon instead" > "Hmm but it could be that people has my same thoughts so I have to pick another" And then the thoughts just loop around.
i am abysmal at decorating levels currently, but this is something i still want to participate in as an opportunity to improve. so thanks for making this CC
there was a scrapped idea that Jam would have to go through an unused level after collecting each of the chaos emeralds, and only then would he be able to become Super Jam!
for anyone hesitating to join, just start something, trust me. my level Saunter was made for CC2/3 (forgot) and I released it years later, my favourite level
Ngl, I'd love to participate in this contest this time, except now im busy decorating my very own level that I've been trying to figure out for months now. Now that i actually have idea's for a level, i don't really want to abandon those idea's. Besides, im lazily slow at decorating lmao. But good luck to everyone participating in this CC! Will definitely be there to see the final results, and will definitely try to be in the next CC!
I just started making a demon today and I cannot say how crazy this timing is I’m not too great at creating but I’m still gonna give it a try and good luck to everyone competing :)
Ngl I might learn to create just for this contest. I won’t be submitting anything due to a different reason, but I still think making my own level for this anyways would be cool. Nice idea!
Time to rip out a very old level from by backlogs, polish the layout and do ALL THE DECORATIONS for three brobdingnagian paths. I call the level Laboratory Labarynth, my magnum opus
thats hype. just discovered a random creator with no cp and level whatsoever that just did an amazing preview from nowhere thanks to this context. It helps discovery
are 2.2 objects and triggers aloud? because I'm making a level for the CC5 and i don't know if 2.2 objects and triggers are aloud, since you made the GF and TCP in 2.21? and I don't want to redo an entire level so it would be nice to know that before I get any further with my level.
This is PEAK CC right here. My only question regarding this CC is that does the level have a maximum length or do we just stick to the 300k obj limits for lengthwise?
I'm going to try my best. I'm going to do a forest full of wolves. I probably won't get in the top 30 levels, but I've never done something like this. I'm starting concept art right now.

Creator competitions like these are a great way for us newer creators to get recognition, I’m ready to put my all into this!

I’m not a good enough creator to take part in this but I’m really excited to see what people create!
I KNEW IT,I KNEW THAT THE PAINTING HAD A MEANING
bros a game theorist
Bro, became the new matpat

WOAH GILDED CAMEO!!!
also sick contest idea!! :3

gilded banger
if your participating, im also screwed
What is your favoutite entry so far out of the finished ones
I don’t know if anyone else noticed but that message in your List definitely gave me a chuckle haha
I’m so excited for this, especially with the new 2.2 options!
Your my favourite creator, how are you not at least 500k subs yet, the content has so much visible dedication and hard work

This about to be awsome, cant wait to see peoples creations. And good to see your back on your feet.
every ad on this video witholds me from valuble information, and less time to make a 100+ hour level.
but money
@@JamAttack💀
I love your videos, well edited and perfectly narrated. Good Contest Idea btw🔥
I have been wanting to make a level with your style so this was perfectly timed
My current thought process:
>"Hmm Hard Demons are usually rare to be built, I should do that"
>"Hmm but then people would think the same and make more Hard Demons too, so I have to counter it by making a medium demon instead"

Love the recent upload streak!
enjoy it while it lasts lmao
wrhuajir fhakf akjf ha sorry for taking so longgggggg
Hi Voxicat
I really missed a lot of comments on this vid didn't I
This actually seems fun! Never committed to a project this big but i have a lot of motivation for some reason!
Time to return back to creator contests, good luck to other creators who are participating in this contest!
Excited to start working on my level!
Can't wait to finish and submit
And after collecting every Jam Gem you will ascend and become a Jam god.
i am abysmal at decorating levels currently, but this is something i still want to participate in as an opportunity to improve. so thanks for making this CC
Super Jam can only be unlocked by collecting all the chaos emeralds!
there was a scrapped idea that Jam would have to go through an unused level after collecting each of the chaos emeralds, and only then would he be able to become Super Jam!
Im gonna participate in this contest now! I’m good at cartoony decorations so this’ll be fun! Hope to see you there!
I like the idea, I'm not so good to try, but I want to see what other creators can do with it :3
Good luck everyone ^^
i am nowhere good enough at deco to enter but this is such a cool idea. Gl to all the people entering
If only I could create...
This idea is genius Jam!
Love ur vids Jam! Keep up the great work!
for anyone hesitating to join, just start something, trust me. my level Saunter was made for CC2/3 (forgot) and I released it years later, my favourite level

just about my first time decorating, but i got some ideas, so i'll give it my best shot!
Wait a minute this sounds like fun to watch
Ngl I might learn to create just for this contest. I won’t be submitting anything due to a different reason, but I still think making my own level for this anyways would be cool. Nice idea!
Ive been idolizing you for a while and now I wanna join this contest
Edit: I didn't know I spelled it wrong lmao
The seven human Jamattack gauntlet gems
Jam is the type of guy to host a contest
5 contests
I cant wait to see results
Time to rip out a very old level from by backlogs, polish the layout and do ALL THE DECORATIONS for three brobdingnagian paths. I call the level Laboratory Labarynth, my magnum opus
thats hype. just discovered a random creator with no cp and level whatsoever that just did an amazing preview from nowhere thanks to this context. It helps discovery
Damn, never knew there was jam lore lmao
cool idea! my level will probably not be that good, but I'm mainly doing it for your feedback. Maybe it could help me get my first creator point :)
Even though i suck at this type of deco, i will make an entry because i have a whole year to learn
I will definitely take part!
I have NO chance, but this seems fun😀
Well goodluck for everyone including myself in this creator contest :)👍
are 2.2 objects and triggers aloud? because I'm making a level for the CC5 and i don't know if 2.2 objects and triggers are aloud, since you made the GF and TCP in 2.21? and I don't want to redo an entire level so it would be nice to know that before I get any further with my level.
Just gonna convert a level I was making into a level for the contest! Was gonna be in the guidelines anyway so why not!
thats so awesomesauce, i wish i was able to finish projects no matter how far the deadline is though (this isn't even just about GD btw)
YES ITS MY TIME TO SHINE
This is PEAK CC right here. My only question regarding this CC is that does the level have a maximum length or do we just stick to the 300k obj limits for lengthwise?
I think I know what my next big level will be
Bro, this is the most amazing thing I can imagine.
This sounds great! Im new to creating but it could be really fun to try this out!
Bro I recognized the song to the clicks, that's how well gf is synced
While I don't use this style, I still want to try. I'm entering! :3
who else noticed the subscribe button saying ligma? at 50 seconds in
1:18/1:19 "WhyMeWhyMeWhyMeWhyMe" IS A BANGER BRUHHHHH WHY DOES NO ONE SEE THIS IT'S A BANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Splinter25 popping off rn
Not good at theme lvls (more of a modern person) but I will see how will fit in both!
I'm not great deco but I'll still make something just for fun even though it has no chance.
as someone who has never made an even close to rate-worthy level but wanted to try, i guess this is my sign
JamAttack is going to be wild this year
This would be my second attempt on a creator contest then, time to make one of the 6 emeralds:3
Just to clarify, if I somehow win, please choose a different level or do something else because I unfortunately cannot accept money
This would be an awesome chance IF I KNEW HOW TO DECORATE
I'm going to try my best. I'm going to do a forest full of wolves. I probably won't get in the top 30 levels, but I've never done something like this. I'm starting concept art right now.
What’s funny is I found a nice OneFin song called Nadir just today and I was looking for an excuse to use it, and this is the perfect excuse.
i was making a glorious fortress sequel wow cool timing
wait are sequels allowed that doesnt really make sense
Well, time to start playing GD again (I quit 'cause I was tired of playing on a Chromebook).
Not for the mon, but the recognition.
Even though my deco so far was pretty mediocre, I guess it can't hurt to at least try to expand my creative side. I'm in.
Can't wait to watch better creators Win whiles i spectate
Jam factory is insane, 5 videos in month is crazy!!
I think you should get bonus points if you use a Waterflame song
Finally a CC I can make videos on
You see those paintings yeah they represent THE CHAOS EMERALDS
For the winner’s announcement video would you feature honorable mentions?
Ratio question: How many people are going to create vs watch the whole thing go down?
Absolutely amazing
