Not yet, it's 100% planned along with cohost but I wanted to get the bundle recruitment up first so people had as much time as possible to put stuff in.
The first days of the bundle are pretty chaotic but it's something I'd like to do. For now it's probably best to just make a mastodon toot and share it around.
WIPs are accepted and we have many incomplete projects in previous bundles.
We even have funded demos to help them to completion.
That being said, each person who takes money means that there is less money for everyone so we're kinda in the process of setting up additional moderation to account for this reality. I'm not sure every project submitted should be in the bundle and get funding.
Wanted to check quickly: Are fangames permitted in the bundle if they feature a character from an existing series, but contain only original artwork/writing as well as CC assets which the creator has the right to distribute, and do not ask for payment?
(If this is still too big a risk for the bundle, I completely understand.)
Question about being marked as a jam participant on itch:
My late-submitted project was unfortunately rejected for the bundle, which I'm not at all attempting to appeal the decision of, I believe I understand why and accept that decision.
However, my question pertains more to my being marked as a participant of a game jam hosted here on itch. I've been successfully maintaining a 100% ratio of jams signed up for and jams submitted for; had it not been for the early closure of official itch project submissions to this jam -- I subsequently submitted my project via the late entry method -- I would have at least been able to maintain that ratio by submitting my project via itch even if it were later rejected for the bundle. So, my question, is it possible to either have the project I did submit via the late method still marked here on itch as a submission just for the game jam (without being included in the bundle), or alternatively, could I have myself removed as a participant from the game jam so I can retain my 100% participation/submission ratio -- that might seem silly, but it is important to me on a personal level to maintain that.
Thanks for you efforts! I greatly appreciated being a part of last year's bundle, and I will work harder on future projects so that I might present a more appropriate submission for next year's bundle, which might have better chances of being accepted as attention and interest in these bundles continues to grow.
No.
The Queer Games Bundle is not a jam and should not be treated as one.
We post the jam as a courtesy to help people find the bundle.
The only thing that has ever mattered to us was the google form.
Please do not create additional work for us at a very difficult time.
We have to attend to the needs of hundreds of people and this is not a reasonable request.
