Hyper Game Dev will go LIVE on YouTube to broadcast the channel host's game jam attempt, along with reactions to every entry that comes in during that show.
Consider pre-submitting your game! I.e., when the jam starts, press the "Submit a project" button that will appear above (even before you have something to upload). Choose "Upload a game", and hit "Save & View Page" at the bottom. Now, even after the time runs out, you can still upload your game, and have a submission in the jam!
If you miss the due time, try 1) adding it as a separate itch page, then 2) adding it to the Community tab!
If you're having trouble submitting to itch in general, try adding it on our Discord.
Remember, this jam is all about support and love -- that means there are no rankings or judgments about whose was better.
The purpose is to help improve our iteration skills, and learn about managing development expectations on the fly while under a (very) short-term time pressure.
Whatever you make will only be celebrated! Have fun and keep trying -- You might be amazed by how much better you get, and how helpful it can be to do while working on longer-term projects!
