Zed Game Jam requires you to upload either a Windows or Web build of your game jam entry.

1. In order to submit your game, log in to Itch. Then, at the top right corner, select Dashboard from the menu.

2. On your Dashboard, you will see a list of games that you've already uploaded to Itch. Below that list you can find the Create new project button.

Here you need to set up your game so that others can download it.

3. Upload a .zip file of your build with all files required to run the game. You can upload multiple versions of your game and Hide older uploads to always provide the most recent version of it. If you created a Windows-build, the 'Kind of project' is Downloadable.

If you created an HTML5-based game you can find more info here: https://itch.io/docs/creators/html5

Most important settings on the game's page:

4. Set the Pricing to either '0 or donate' or 'No payments'.

5. In the Description, specify the controls for your game.

6. Enable Community options to either 'Comments' or 'Discussion Board'.

7. Set Visibility & Access to 'Public'

8. Make sure you hit 'Save' after uploading and filling in the page.

We are NOT done yet! Once you created the game's page, you still have to submit it!

9. Go to https://itch.io/jam/zed-game-jam

10. Click the Submit your project button.

11. Select your game from the dropdown list and click 'Submit'.

12. After a successful submission, when you visit you're game's page, it should state

'Submission to Zed Game Jam' on the right side.

After the submission deadline you can take a look arond the jam's page, download and rate other submissions!
