Congratulations everyone for making it through your first (for most of you) game jam! I hope you guys had an excellent experience, I really believe game jams are a great way of developing a further understanding of not only rapid prototyping but of the game dev process in general!
Kudos to everyone who managed to submit a game, not an easy task for your first game jam so those of you who did you should be proud! Those of you that haven't yet, or won't get to - no sweat! That's a part of game jams, sometimes you can't make the deadline because life gets in the way and that's ok because there's always next time!
So voting will begin as soon as the submission timer is completed. I have set the voting timer end for Sunday at 12 PM (lunch time) to try and encourage everyone to play each other's games and offer some feedback while the jam is still fresh in our minds. So check back after lunch on Sunday to see how you did in the voting!
If for some reason you did not finish your game on time, but would still like to enter it into the jam - then you need to upload it to your itch profile and then send me a link to the URL. At which point I will send you back another link which you can then follow to confirm a late entry for the jam.
Lastly, thank you to all of you for participating in the jam. I hope it has been a valuable experience for you. To those of you who are not returning for the cert 4 or diploma next semester - keep up with your game dev! This experience is a perfect example of how you can continue to develop games because you have the understanding now. To those of you who are returning to TAFE next semester, no doubt I will see you around campus! Thank you all for a great semester, and I wish you all the best for the future!
