So, funny story, today I checked my emails, and saw that this game jam had started 16 days ago. I FORGOT ABOUT IT!
So I'm not taking part. Sorry!
You just need a team, if you want I can help you with some code/programming, I can help you get to a submission level, I can't guarantee the game will win, type level, but you can at least submit at the very least. Hint! Sometimes the simplest of games win... just saying... Keep it simple is all, throw a "Secret" or 2 in and your good to go.
That's what I was gonna ask too, cuz kinda just hard to forget, however it happened likely due to the long time frame in between, I'm guessing they were not on itch the whole time, then came back and bam saw the jam was half done, however there is still time to do the game, they did mention they are in another Jam, however all the game needs is """secrets""" in it and can be a Double Jam post, I even made games that entered in multiple Jams, so I think it's more a scenario they feel too pressured to submit here, but would rather buy more time, do likely the same game anyways but in another jam with slight tweaks to their original idea, which I do find is quite odd tbh. Nothing wrong with a double submission. Even prototype games have won jams before even, I've even seen a 1 hour of code game won before too once in the past even also., where the person kept it simple and from what I heard barely tried.
