Thanks for the awesome JAM, it was my first and i will never miss one again.

We submitted the game successfully 10min early..
but as now JAM is over, I want to edit and do some changes to the game,
like
1) Re-introduce the almost done levels that we skipped due to lack of time,
2) Change the icon, description and page appearance.
3) Do some tweaking of floating constants we put.

Because that work keeps coming to my mind and i'm unable to think of something else for a while.
What are the rules about it ?

I'm curious about this as well, I'd like to touch up a few things but don't want to interfere with the judging or anything ( even if it isn't suuuper competitive).

However as far as I know, changing the page for the game shouldn't be a concern, just content in the game itself. If there's no answer from Kenney, I would say to keep the original jam build available and clearly marked as the jam entry, and then you can add new versions to your page. I'm definitely going to keep a jam build on the page for posterity :)

Hey!

I've downloaded all the downloadable games this afternoon, feel free to update your game but to keep it fair upload a second file and call it "post jam" or something similar. That way people can see what was made during the jam, and after. Since you're the full owner over your own game (including the assets) you can also just add a new Itch.io entry and create a new page.

For HTML5 games it's a bit more difficult since you can't host two separate games on a single page, for that I'd say it's totally okay to do fixes but not to add new features. If you like to extend one of those games, make a second page as described above.

That sounds Fair and i respect your thoughts on it.
I think it is best to create a new page for a polished version, and always have the JAM version around,
So we and others can always see how the fire evolved from a small spark in JAM.

Whatever the result of "Unlikely Shadows" will be, We already won hearts of some people,
Thanks for Participation Exclusive and for organizing the event Kenney.
waiting for next one....
