Hi everyone.
First time in a game jam and I'm not sure how it works.

I've been crunching hours for the past week and my game is coming along well, but I fear that there will still be some important stuff left imcomplete (like all the sfx, voice over, etc) and there are some stuff I would like to improve (more enemy variety, more levels, etc). And I had no time to proofread my stuff (English is not my first language) or even trying to play the game from start to finish, so there are probably tons of bugs that I won't have time to fix...

I basically spent way too much time trying to implement as many vile ingredients as possible in my game (including both Glinny's and Carshaurreur's as a personal challenge), and now I'm stuck with a game that I think is actually good, but that is simply lacking in the some important areas (like, more levels and enemies!).

I still have 1-2 days to try to add as much as I can, but that will be pretty hard.

Unless we are getting another extension (honestly, even just 2-3 days would totally save my project), I might be forced to submit an incomplete game.

I was wondering, do you guys know if we can make modification after we submitted it, or is it locked in as soon as we submit it?

I'm afraid of missing the deadline, but I would like to keep working on it as long as I can so that the ones playing it get the full version.

Thanks!

Most competitive jams won't let you change things after the deadline. 

However lots of people will polish up their games for a post-jam build that won't be a part of the competition! 

Thanks! I will definitely polish it up after the deadline is over.
I don't actually know how the "contest" will work, so maybe we have a few weeks to play the games before the games to be streamed will be chosen.
That might leave me a few more days to make more stuff.

I thought I would leave you guys with a few pictures of my project so far.

I do not own most of the art in my game. I can design and code, but I'm a terrible artist. I can make good-ish edits, but that's pretty much it.
I intend to credit everyone in my game, but I don't think I'll have the time to add all of them before the deadline. I'll definitely do it on my final version though.

The story is inspired by the tale of Monkey: The Journey to the West.

As you can see, my main focus was on completing as many ingredients as I could, and I have almost all of them done (the only big one I haven't tackled yet, and I might not have the time for, is the Voice Overs...)

But, this made it so that I didn't put enough time in the rest. For instance, I have 8 differenet Hot Springs cutscenes, but only two enemies (the wolf and the bird) and two levels (the waterfall mountain and the desert). And I haven't even started working on a single boss.

The game story is designed to have something like 8 levels, but I could make it work with only a few more... It's too bad that I couldn't have started earlier... That's pretty much all I could do in two weeks...

I could always complete the game after the gamejam, but it won't be fun, since I won't really have anyone to play it... Especially Kyle or the other allies...

In any case, I guess, I'll do as much as I can until the deadline!
Best luck to you all!

I believe I clicked an option to allow submissions to update their game but that might cut off after the deadline, meaning you could submit now and do a tiny update before tomorrow. The judgment period is just one week, so really there isn't much time to change things anyway
