Hello,
I really hate the text editor of this itch.io forum. When I first tried to post this thread, it would not let me enter my text but stopped after the first 'H' I had typed. Weird. I digress, sorry.
I would like to see FAQ for this beautiful gamejam. I hope it's ok if I start with a few questions:
1. When does the jam start and when does it end?
--> See entry page https://itch.io/jam/monogamejam
2. Do I need to sign up? Do I need to sign up before the jam starts? What kinds of accounts do I need besides my itch.io account? Do I need Facebook, Twitter, Github, anything?
--> Answer
3. Will I be disqualified if I am too late, even 15 minutes or even 5 minutes? Will there be a grace period?
--> Answer
4. Do I need to release my source code?
--> Answer
5. Do I absolutely need to use MonoGame? I'm so used to XNA or FNA, can I use XNA or FNA instead because they are all siblings? I mean, I don't plan to use Unity or anything unrelated, I just think XNA or FNA would fit my needs a lot better.
--> Answer
6. Can I use only C# or is it ok if I use another .NET language like F# or VB.Net?
--> Answer
7. Can I win prizes?
--> Answer
8. Do I need to release my game on itch.io? What do I need to release, the source code? A .exe package? Do I need to provide an installer?
--> Answer
9. How exactly do I submit my completed jam game? Is there a short manual or anything I could follow along?
