Hi, I think this might be the right place to ask rules questions.

I was wondering what the policy is on multiple jam submissions? The Jam time line overlaps almost entirely (we're talking hours of a difference) with another Jam I wanted to take part in. The other Jam explicitly allows multiple submissions but I haven't seen anything in the rules here. 

I think I'd prefer to submit here this time if it is an issue but I don't want to make any assumptions.

I'm asking now because I was thinking I'd submit early and let people follow my development process as I build my prototype. Is that gauche? I'm new to online game jams and don't have a reference for acceptable behaviour.

Thanks!

Thank you for asking! :) I've just added the following paragraph to the rules section:

"Submitting your game to multiple jams will be tolerated, as long it complies with all the rules of both this and the other jam(s). We reserve the right to disqualify submissions that overdo it in this regard (e.g. submit to 5+ different jams).

When in doubt, please get in contact with us before submitting your game."

Submitting early and building in public is perfectly fine!

Fantastic! Thanks a lot!
