Hello there~👻
Thanks for your interest in participating in this year's Queer Halloween Stories Bundle! As the application window closes up, we want to remind everyone to make sure to fill out the Google Form and submit something to this jam. If you've already done that, then kick back and relax!
Why do I have to do both?
As mentioned on the front page of the jam, we use the Google Form to verify that you're a queer creator on itch.io, as well as get detailed information on each submission. We've created several tabs in the resulting spreadsheet in order to collate data and make the review process as swift as possible.
When we were setting up the jam page, we found that itch.io's custom fields sections were a bit funky when it came to single-choice field buttons labeled as "Required," as it "will force the user to select ALL of the available options." This wasn't ideal for our needs, so we stuck to the tired and true Google Form to collect most of the information.
Meanwhile, this jam is the method we'll be using to populate the bundle, as outlined in the documentation. This is how many of the larger co-op bundles on itch.io are created, so it's a process you'll get familiar with when you participate in many bundles.
That's all we have for now. If you know any friends who'd benefit from participating in this year's bundle, please feel free to invite them as well.
We look forward to working with you!
