Great to see a fedi jam. I had an idea and wanted to share it, maybe you were already considering this for themes but I think it would be neat as a separate thing. The Godot Wild Jam often has secondary themes or limitations and I thought it would be great to reward people for incorporating their chosen fedi service (i.e. including a Mastodon in their game, including Loops as a mechanic, maybe something can be pixel-fed, a Lemm(y)ings type game). Just an idea.

the jam could use a big queer colorful banner! using the fediverse logo colours

Hi, I think this might be the right place to ask rules questions.

I was wondering what the policy is on multiple jam submissions? The Jam time line overlaps almost entirely (we're talking hours of a difference) with another Jam I wanted to take part in. The other Jam explicitly allows multiple submissions but I haven't seen anything in the rules here. 

I think I'd prefer to submit here this time if it is an issue but I don't want to make any assumptions.

I'm asking now because I was thinking I'd submit early and let people follow my development process as I build my prototype. Is that gauche? I'm new to online game jams and don't have a reference for acceptable behaviour.

Thanks!

Thank you for asking! :) I've just added the following paragraph to the rules section:

"Submitting your game to multiple jams will be tolerated, as long it complies with all the rules of both this and the other jam(s). We reserve the right to disqualify submissions that overdo it in this regard (e.g. submit to 5+ different jams).

When in doubt, please get in contact with us before submitting your game."

Submitting early and building in public is perfectly fine!

Fantastic! Thanks a lot!
