Hi,

Time flies. Final 60 hours. The submission period will end soon and we will be able to play entertaining games from entrants soon!

Grasp your time and you are almost there! Yeah!

I'm close but not complete.  I don't suppose a 24 hour extension to the submission deadline could be granted.  Is that a possibility?  If not that's totally ok.  Thanks for hosting this gamejam in any case.

Submitted

I hope your wish is granted.

Thanks! Time will tell I suppose

The small game I've been working on is certainly nothing fancy!  Quite simplistic and not refined yet.

Hello,

In my view, participation is more important than winning. We learn new things and develop various skills after taking up challenge.

Ya, I totally agree.  Or as it has been said "the journey is the destination" or "the process is more important than the product".  Of course, it is also satisfying to reach the milestone of finishing and submitting a project before the deadline as this is its own accomplishment in and of itself.  So all around these are all good experiences and pursuits, each with their own reward.  I agree, it's not about winning the gamejam but it's all about the participation in the gamejam.  I look forward to reviewing and voting the entries; I always much enjoy seeing what others have created too.

Doesn't look like an extension is an option, that's totally ok.  I hope to do better next time.  Like one of the participants in this gamejam commented of their own submitted game: "It needs polishing but better than nothing".  Next time I hope to submit something (even if not refined) instead of nothing; lesson learned.  I am finding that one of the biggest challenges in any gamejam is the limited time factor, not only the time limit of the gamejam itself, but also how other unrelated time demands emerge and compete for one's available time, sometimes "out of the blue" and totally unexpected.  Even so, it was still fun participating in this gamejam, and I look forward to its next iteration!  In the meantime until then, I hope and expect that my programming skills will only continue to improve through continued practice over time, which will better prepare me for the next gamejam.  Congrats to everyone who was able to complete a project and upload it as an entry, well done and I am inspired and motivated by your success!

Hi!

 I hope to do better next time. <--- The next BASIC Jam will be in Dec.(If I have time)

It needs polishing but better than nothing <--- I agree.

Next time I hope to submit something (even if not refined) instead of nothing; lesson learned. <--- Good luck.

In the meantime until then, I hope and expect that my programming skills will only continue to improve through continued practice over time, <--- No  doubt.

and upload it as an entry, well done and I am inspired and motivated by your success! <--- Hey, you are very, very welcome to rate and write  comments on these 5 entries. Doing these two things may help these entrants to make good decisions on the next projects. Sure.

Thanks!  I hope to review and test out the entries.  To me, that is definitely one of the highlights and best aspects of the gamejam: seeing and experiencing the projects that others have created!

Hello!!!

Sorry for this very late reply.  My family member was seriously ill yesterday and I was required to stay in a hospital with her for about 10 hours.

I'm close but not complete. <--- Thanks for participating in this jam!

I don't suppose a 24 hour extension to the submission deadline could be granted. <--- Yes, extension to the submission deadline was not an option.  

If not that's totally ok.  <--- I hope that you don't mind.

Thanks for hosting this game jam in any case. <--- Don't need to say thanks. Don't forget to join the next BASIC Jam.

Hi, thank you for your response, and above all I hope that your family member is well.  Thank you for the kind and encouraging comments posted.

Don't forget to join the next BASIC Jam.

I definitely plan and intend to; I really like this gamejam with its emphasis on using BASIC.

I look forward to your game in the next game jam!

Thanks!  I look forward to it as well.
