Thank You Again!
I'd like to thank each and every one of you for your participation and interest in the first game jam I've ever run here on Itch.io. As you all work to polish your games and get them submitted this week, remember that the there's still a bit more to come after. Here's what's left on the agenda:
- November 1st at midnight the jam comes to an end (this means you technically get one bonus day for any last-minute adjustments).
- By this time your game should be submitted with all relevant files outlined in the submission details. If you have a build on Tabletop Simulator people can download, please feel free to provide a link to that in the material as well.
- From November 1st onward, community voting will be open for two weeks. During this time play other people's games, rate them, and provide helpful feedback based on your experience. Remember to be kind with feedback, it's OK to point out flaws, but focus on the positives too. A good ratio is two positive things for every one negative one.
- After the community voting period ends, the top finishers overall will be subject to the judges votes. As long as there are at least five submissions, we plan to examine the top five games and pick our top three from among them. Otherwise, we will look at the top three and vote on them accordingly. This process will also take about two weeks to complete.
- Once our voting has concluded, winners will be contacted via itch.io so that they may contact us to receive their prizes. Reminder for groups, we'll be contacting the person who submitted the project for this, it's up to you guys after to distribute prizes and such after the fact.
- Finalists will also be contacted as part of a special bonus which we're still holding off on announcing, but trust me, it'll be cool ;)
- After we've contacted everyone, you'll have 48 hours to respond. If you fail to do so, we'll assume you forfeit the win and adjust the prize distributions accordingly.
- The jam will officially be over!
It's been quite a journey and I hope all of you have had fun and continue to have fun
Thank you again for being a part of this,
-Jon and the Tabletop Creator Crew
