Public or Restricted ?

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any advantages to keep the game secret while in developement. Part of me thinks it is a good idea to make it public, but I wouldn't like it to be "market burnt". Anyone has a take on this ?

Also, should we submit the game before and update it or should we wait for it to be polished ?

Edit: I made the game public and might share it in the discord. I will also submit it soon we me and my teamate will find 脿 name for it:  https://cryingplusplus.itch.io/project-cartomaniac

If you showcase it in the jam's discord channel, specifically for early playtesting, you'll get critical feedback that can help with QA/polish/balancing.

I highly recommend you submit early, as we won't take late submissions. You can edit the game (even do a dev log) before the jam ends. But editing is limited to the itch page only - once voting occurs.

Thank you for the advice, that was very usefull. I will submit my game sooner rather than later and make the game public. :)
