its really funny thinking about the expected value of participating in the toxic yuri vn jam. you hear "oh shit $6000 prize pool" but like, theres 1700 participants, last jam there was about 1 finished project per 2 participants, so your expected takeaway is $6000 / (1700 / 2) = $7. you have a 1% chance of winning. you might think what you're submitting is well enough above average to tilt those odds, but most people think their stuff is better than most people's stuff, so that belief is worth p much nothing. this is all to say, if you're participating you should expect no reward besides whatever you gain out of making your vn. be in it for the simple joy of creation or you will be disappointed
