Hey all,
We’re really confused.
All week our browsers (here in the UK) have been telling us that we had until 5:59AM on Monday morning to submit. We’re still working towards this date, but one of the team just checked the website and noticed that now the Jam has already closed at 8AM Sunday morning?
We had the same issue at the start, the Jam started a day after it said it would on itch.io for all of us. What gives, can we no longer submit? Anyone else had the same issue?
On the last night of the jam, I noticed impeckable saying he was pushing the submission time *forward* a bit to accommodate people who live further west. Although, that sounds contradictory to your problem.
I have nothing to do with hosting the jam hosting though, I'm just another dev. I'm only telling you what I saw on the discord server. (I also posted this into the discord server.)
Oh no! That's really strange, yeah the jam was supposed to end on Feb. 29th at 11:59 pm cst (which I believe would be around 6:00 am gmt that next day?) but then I bumped it up 2 hours for submissions last night so that's where the 8:00 am gmt comes from, but I'm wondering how there was a lost day?! I'm sorry... dang it's the curse of leap day!
For sure! I was even thinking about it too, this is gonna sound so dumb but is leap day a global event?? I'm not even sure actually, which could be part of it... In the US we have that crazy daylight savings time (which I think is actually happening for us next week lol) that not everyone takes part in, you can technically time-travel that day, yeah it's so weird! Anyway, wow am I getting off subject!! Definitely send me the link to your jam page and I'll get put it in the amazing submission link generator for you! Also, you'll still be able to make edits/reuploads all day today in case you want to submit now just to have it up there, no big deal if not just let me know! :)
