Hey, I haven't done jams other than the weekly hour game jam where you're only allowed one hour total of work on a project.

How do jams like these work? Is the total time you're allowed to spend on it 2 weeks (the submission period), or are you allowed to work on it even before the jam starts?

Edit: Well I suppose it doesn't really matter so long as you submit within the submission time, I see people had projects they had already going that they will submit to the jam even before the jam had started.

"How do jams like these work? Is the total time you're allowed to spend on it 2 weeks (the submission period), or are you allowed to work on it even before the jam starts?"

Thats basically it. Some people do work on there's before the jam even starts, which I dont consider cheating, but I do find it more fun to start with the jam.

I hope that answered your question.

Yeah, thanks :)
