Update: Ranked version of practice jam now open! https://itch.io/jam/practice-jam-2-ranked-version

Hi everyone! As per a discussion that happened yesterday, I know that some of you would like to have ranking/voting in the jam. The suggestion that came up was to have an optional ranked jam, same theme, alongside the non-ranked, non-competitive version.  That way, people can get more feedback on their games, beyond just comments  And that could also be sort of like a "next step" for people who did the non-ranked practice jams and want to see how others view their skills.

My main question now, would you guys rather have the voting be only for jam participants, or for anyone with an itch.io account?  You can vote in Discord in the feedback channel, or use this poll:  https://forms.gle/HBvDbzoC6yzf3yea9

I'd like to set up the new, optional ranked version by tomorrow, so please get your vote in if you're interested!

is the same deadline then?

Hello!  Well, initially I thought it would be the same deadline, but I think since this is ranked, I would give ya'll a full week, as you might approach things differently if you have the expectation of being voted on.  It would be the same theme.  I'm going to set it up today.

In the future, the two versions of the jam would run concurrently, so the same start and end times.

Does that sound fair to everyone?

yes but we start working so is that okay if we use our current game?

Yep!  That's actually what I had in mind
