Submissions closed?

I thought I would have a bit of time to submit my game after the jam, like Ludum Dare. Can we reopen them?

This is what it says for me. I hope it can be resolved because this is an extremely major issue. Many people work on their game until the very last minute and submit afterwards, just seems like poor thinking to me. Why would you close submissions right at the end? Doesn't make any sense. I'm going to bed as it is late so I won't be able to answer to any update on this until tomorrow.

How wouldn't that be fair? If anything, I'm getting the short end of the stick. I worked on my game for the duration of time I was allowed, no more no less. If the itch.io platform doesn't allow to reopen submissions, then it's just a cheap platform. It makes no sense to block submissions as soon as the jam ends, it's the dumbest thing.

Submitted

It does suck, but in fairness, I stayed up till 4am on a workday to finish mine. (though that's also cause I started with 5 hours left on the gamejam, crazy, I know).

If you link your game here I'd love to check it out regardless.

A ban warning really wasn't enough to stop you from making this tasteless thing, huh?

I can see that you did not even bother to try it because it was toned down a lot my friend, all of the potentially offending ideas were scraped. The problem with my old ideas was that it was all negative stereotypes except for the canadian, and a lot of it was just cheap shots at races or nationalities that are trying to move away from these negative stereotypes. I made sure that none of the stereotypes are negative this time, like the canadian ones, and that it's all in good spirit!
