Thanks, fos1

Just to be clear: can we enter a game we started working on before the submission period started?

Absolutely. Any game that has not yet been published is qualified to enter.

Is there a theme or is it a free-for-all ?

There is no theme. It is based on what the reviewers think is the best game.

I tried to submit something, but after checking only the Classic box, it said I couldn't submit unless I also checked the Freestyle box. So I submitted with both boxes checked. Is that intentional?

Also, we're allowed to have our game be pushed and publicly available during the submission period, right? I see submissions can't be viewed until the submission period ends, so I wasn't sure. If the answer is no, I'd have to keep it in draft or restricted mode and remember to change it to public after submission ends.

Hi Kanderwund,

The Classic / Freestyle selection problem must be a bug. :( 

I will see about fixing that this morning. 

I believe the bug is now fixed. Please edit your game submission to ensure it is listed in the proper category. You may have to delete and re-submit the game. Please let me know how it goes. (Thank you!)

You are correct the submitted games cannot be viewed until the judging period begins.

Thank you for letting me know about the bug. And thank you for your game submission!

I tried joining the ParserComp Discord server from the link but it says "NO TEXT CHANNELS. You find yourself in a strange place. You don't have any access to text channels or there are none on this server".

Once my game is ready should I upload it to my itch account but not make it public, and then submit to the comp?
