Duration of Jam

Any chance you could make this a couple of weeks or a month instead of just three days? Not that three days is absolutely too little time -- I've done my share of 24 hour game jams -- but it's pretty tight.

Hey, Thanlis! Thank you for asking! I got a similar question and answered it here. The gist of it is that we wanted to encourage experimentation. But you're the second person to ask, so I realize that we probably made it too constraining.

So, if the jam goes well and we make another, we already decided to make it longer next time! (Not this time, because it doesn't feel fair to change the dates after a few people already joined).

That’s a good reason!

I tagged this one as my game jam of the week over on Mastodon, btw — not that I think I drive much traffic but I really like the idea.

Thank you! I really appreciate it.
