Welcome

A game jam is an event about creating games within a limited amount of time. The Feedback Jam, in particular, has a strong focus on responding to player feedback.

This will be the first Feedback Jam, and depending on how it goes, it may be held annually/seasonally.

Theme

See part #1.

Format

The event will be held in 2 parts: Part #1 will be creating a game, and part #2 (this one) will be about updating your game to respond to player feedback.

So only enter this jam if you've first submitted a game in part #1! (itch.io/jam/feedback-jam-part-1)

And if you've already submitted to part #1, make sure to keep part #1's version available. Raters will need to play part #1's version in order to see how much it has improved.

Rules

  1. Games must be updates of part #1, and may not be updated until the jam starts. Updating during the voting phase is just fine.
  2. No sensitive/mature content.
  3. Have fun! :D

Voting

Games will be voted on to determine the winner of part #2. Note: Unlike part #1, part #2 doesn't have 'Theme' as criteria.

If you haven't played the part #1 version of a game, make sure to first play that before playing the current version. (you can find the link to the original version in the 'Previous submission URL' field on the game's submission page.)

IMPORTANT! The criteria will be relative to the last jam. (except for 'Feedback')

  • 1 star - Got worse.
  • 2 star - Stayed the same.
  • 3 star - Minor improvements.
  • 4 star - Substantial improvements.
  • 5 star - Major improvements.

The criteria:

  • Enjoyment improvement - How much more fun was it from the last version?
  • Graphics improvement - Was there a face-lift?
  • Audio improvement - Does it sound better?
  • Creativity improvement - See something unexpected from the last version?
  • Feedback - How well did it respond to feedback from part #1?

Miscellaneous

See part #1.
