Hey Otto, instead of a link to Github repo can I have one to a google drive?

This is my first game jam and I'm having a really hard time pushing to GitHub. I've tried LFS, I tried using sourcetree, I learnt how to use git all to no avail, always errors regarding network issues though to my knowledge my network is completely fine. If I had another week or two I think I could've learnt it but that's not a luxury I have. So if I could drop in a link to a google drive and you download it from there that would really be wonderful as I have worked very hard on this project and seeing it fail on this last stretch is quite saddening. Thanks Otto, your the best!

This is the part where I stumble as well. I don't know how to use GitHub as I've always stayed away from it in favor of simpler and less techy solutions. Is there atleast a tutorial somewhere for this specific Ludwig github repo submission? Step by step instructions on what to do to upload our files (or 1 zip?) to it? I'm not looking for an already existing tutorial on how to use GitHub, but specific instructions in layman terms for this specific jam.

If you are not having network problems like I am then I used this tutorial

and It worked great up until I started getting network errors EVEN THOUGH MY NETWORK IS FINE :(

Gonna tag on here as well, if that's ok. I've never used Github either, but I think I managed to set up a repository correctly, but I'm just not sure if everything I need to have in there is actually in there. If not please let me know. Hopefully, there will be some leeway for those of us with Github issues so long as our submission is already uploaded here on Itch. Thanks for the help Otto!

I just made my projectfile (it's just 1 file from GameMaker) into a zip (had to make it into 2 parts because github had a max file size of 25mb to be sent and my project is 47mb) and I committed them to a personal public github repo on the github website, and linked the url on jam submission. I hope I did it right. I just guessed how it could work. No idea if it was correctly done. If the Jam Hosts require some other form of github committing, please instruct me so I can do it right.

Yeah my project file is 10gbs zipped and completely compressed in unreal so I'm just gonna submit my google drive link and hope that they are fine with it. Would've loved some communication from anyone really about this but I hope they understand.

where did you put or submit your google drive link? i'm doing the same and idk where to put it!

MilkyburgerSubmitted1 year ago

Do you mean where, because if you mean where. I put it in the box when it asks you to put your github link and instead I put in the link to the google drive. Make sure you already submitted your game to itch though and then you can submit it to the game jam. If you actually meant why, which it feels like you didn't because of the wording. I did it because in the last game jam someone made a comment about if they couldn't submit to Github and if they could use google drive and Otto said that any file storage platform was ok. I'm not sure if that has changed since he hasn't replied but I sure hope it hasn't.
