Don't like the result of this JAM

It's a shame I couldn't find the time, but... I was expecting so much more from this JAM

I too was hoping for more submissions. A good many people signed up. If anybody was working on something and didn't make the deadline and does finish, let me know. I can send a secret submission link. :)

I do want to say thank you to those that did participate even if you didn't finish. The theme was a hard challenge and no matter what level you're at with you game making skills, working on a challenge helps you get better.  I wish there had been more submissions, but I'm not disappointed with those that did get submitted.

I was done except art and a little sound. But as i made a VN i kinda need art. I had alot go on so couldn't do it :P

Hey guys, I just posted my entry - I thought the deadline was tonight, and not last night (oops...). I had opened the page a while ago but didn't make it public, so it seems to have posted correctly regardless. Sorry about that.

I also thought this was a really interesting idea for a jam, and hopefully it'll happen again. It's nice to see developers being prompted to make games that are outside what you normally see done with game narratives. So thanks for hosting!

Thanks for participating. I am glad that it still let you submit. I think you just discovered a secret to itch jams :O

I actually may have - as long as you create the page (even unpublished), you have technically submitted to the jam, even if you don't upload any files. You can then upload files at your leisure, which doesn't seem to be restricted in any way by the dates of the jam. This makes sense, since once you siubmit a game to a jam you can update it post-jam, change things on the page, upload, etc. The loophole seems to be that a page without an upload counts as a "submission."

Anyway, thanks for hosting, and don't get discouraged - this is a great theme for a jam, and hopefully next time you'll get a bigger response!
