Hello romw314, To counter these points, the game jam votes are open to everyone, not just the creators, I mean everyone! We’ll also be communicating on two dates during the voting phase to invite people to play together.

all that means is whoever has the biggest audience is going to win..

I understand your concern. The Judges’ awards are decided by GDevelop Staff to avoid such manipulation. Community voting only affects the top 10 community awards. -M.

Yeah well, considering there's been less than 100 games submitted, and only 400 ratings so far, it's pretty clear to me that this guy was right.

romw31452 days ago(+1)

Right, just why it's named "BIG"? It should be GDevelop multiplayer game jam #1. And the GDevelop Big game jam #6 shouldn't have that rule.

Exactly!

I didn't submit because of that rule too. Tried to create a game but... the GDevelop multiplayer is unreliable. Sometimes disconnects us and returns to title screen, etc. And THNK is hard to learn. Hope the GDevelop Big game jam #7 will not have any special rules.

Agreed bro yeah. As someone who did submit, it hurts that people literally just CAN'T play my game due to the lack of players.

You could be in the lobby of your game for all the voting period you have time, but this would mean that you will not have time to rate another games.

Exactly, yeah

This game jam is small, I think GDevelop is losing their >1100 joined and >600 games on the BIG #5 only because of that rule. And som of them may never return, even if they wanted to submit to this jam.

If the BIG game jam 7 will not be multiplayer, I'll try to make a game and to find yours, cattymations, and then, of course, play it and vote it. Good luck in the next game jam!

Thanks bro! 100% agree. In the last GD jam I came 17th with 33 votes, and right now, with a game of (at least in my opinion) higher quility than that one, I only have 13.

Good luck man and have a fire day.

Just want to tell you GDevelop: you shouldn't mix multiplayer into big game jams, instead create extra game jams for that. If you don't have time for that, team up with someone.
