already made game

Hi. Can I use an already made game? (the game is already participating in other jams)

Host

Hi,

You can only submit a game that was made during the game jam time-frame, aka it cannot have been submitted to itch.io before the start time.

If you're participating in a second jam at the same time as this one, I would find it okay  if you submit your game to this one as well, as long as you are incorporating the signature prompt within you game. This prompt will be revealed when this jam starts.

The game I want to post is already ready before the start, I've been working on it alone for two years.

My goal is not cash prizes or anything like that, but to let people know that such a game exists.

I would be very grateful if you leave my game in your game-jam, it will not claim anything.

Sorry, but submitting a game you've previously made  would take away from the spirit of a game jam.

I understand that you've worked hard on your game, but there are plenty of avenues you could take to promote your game.  An example would be participating in a game jam by making a game during that period. If people like the game you've created during that time, then they will definitely look at other games you've made.
