RATING TIME! Sticky

So a few things about rating:


1 - As long as I it runs on my computer, I will be playing and rating all of the games, so you are guaranteed at least one rating and some feedback.

2 - Though it's not an actual rule, you tend to get more ratings from other devs if you rate more games yourself, so one of the best things you can do to get more ratings is go and rate some games.

3 - It should go without saying but please be as impartial as you can when rating. I know you are all technically in competition with each other, but the system only works if you all play fair. Also, if you can leave honest feedback as well, everyone will appreciate you.

4 - I will be playing as many of the games as I can on stream over the next week. I'm not sure which days yet but I will announce ahread of time. I'll be playing them at random for the most part, but I will prioritise devs that are in chat at the time.

5 - I will be giving feedback on the stream but I won't be showing my ratings during the rating period.

If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below or in the Discord server!

Are we allowed to upload bug fixes or is that not allowed? Thanks.

I don't believe it will let you upload new files after the submission date, until the ratings are closed.

I can not update my game (default) until voting ends, do you have an option to let me out so I can update the game? Apart from quiting the jam of course.

Host

Hi Layer, unfortunately, that's the only way to update your game before the end of the rating period. I can either remove your game from the jam or you can quit.

Are you just wanting to update your game in general or did you miss some files that prevent it from working?

I wanted to update the game . I will probably quit if it is needed and make a special version.  A lot of people has played the game so it's ok.

Okay but remember, if you quit you won't be in the running for any of the prizes. The rating period finishes in a week and then uploads are unlocked.
