Hey all, sorry for the inconvenience. There’s a pretty big banner on the project edit page warning you when uploads are disabled due to a jam. I understand we can add more warnings when deleting files, but please read the page before making any changes. The jam hosts have locked new files uploads for a reason: you should not be making changes to a submission after the submission period has ended.

If you mistakenly deleted your game and still have the original file I can help you get it reuploaded. We can not restore the deleted files, they are permanently removed. The reupload should be the same exact file, I can compare the hash of the file to what we have in our logs. Reply to me with the submission URL and a link to download the file (please have it be publicly available).

This is a pretty silly itch.io oversight, why would you remove a build from a locked jam?

This is not an oversight, one of the rights all itch.io developers have is they are free to delete anything they uploaded whenever they want. It’s part of our terms of service.

Hi dear leafo,
We DEEPLY appreciate your valuable attention and support that gave us a second chance to turning back the previous situation.🙏🏼🌸

*Edit 1: I check the "popular list" on the jam and there is no icon for my game unfortunately! (My game was in 4th raw)
What's the problem with that list? (the judgment at the end is from that list mostly)

*Edit 2: now it appeared on the list! thanks a lot🙏🏼 Everything is ok.

Either I am not understanding what you are saying or you don't understand rhe rating system. Ranking high on popular is no guarantee for a high rating at the end of the jam.

I reuploaded the files for you.

I see that you originally tagged your desktop version of the game for all three platforms, Windows, Linux, macOS. I looked in the archive and don’t see Linux or macOS executables. Please correctly tag your game.

Thanks

Yes I will do that immediately thank you so much :D

Hello, I had the same problem where I deleted my game. Luckily I have the original zip file on my computer. Could you help me reupload it?

The page is here: https://onstorm.itch.io/journey-to-the-black-hole

Hey Leafo, I accidentally deleted my build without knowing that uploads are locked. I just was trying to replace my earlier build because I named it "TrashGame" and it was showing up in the feed.

Link to the Original Build: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1c4SP7Oz0BC70y1s4Z1bv1pXFj1-iAcqF/view?usp=shari...

Link to submission URL : https://ghazia.itch.io/trust-no-one

Thanks for helping!

Hey dude, the jam's over, and you can do whatever you like with your game. The stuff in this post no longer applies, you can add your builds back at any time.

You'll need to talk to the GMTK Jam hosts, they've got a discord, you should be able to contact the mod team there.

leafoAdmin4 years ago (1 edit)

You gotta stop posting in another jam’s community. This thread is not for GMTK Jam. If the hosts of GMTK Jam told you it’s too late to submit then there’s nothing I can do.

iamcheeze4 years ago

Hey I'm not sure if this still applies for this years jam. I was one of those people who was really dumb and accidentally deleted the files here is the submission link https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-5/rate/929272
the downloadable version is here https://theocatic.itch.io/chronophagereupload
you can look at the time stamp for when this was uploaded, and you will see it was like 20 minutes after close time because it happened literally 2 minutes after close for the jam.

theocatic3 years ago (1 edit)

for clarification I never saw any type of extra warning on this as I was in the edit game page before the jam ended, so I never received the message that I would be blocked from editing the submission at all. I was really tired from working for like 12+ hours that day(and it was 4AM), and accidentally deleted the files.

hello i have mistakenly delete my game publish page

leafoAdmin3 years ago

This post was for a specific jam that happened a over a year ago, sorry.

Dear leafo,

I became victim of my own stupidity and deleted my game during a Jam. Could you please restore it? I created other copy of the game before seeing this post, so downloadable content is in the copy (I would remove it if the original game is restored). File should be the same if I didn't do other mistake.

Original game in Jam to restore: https://izanderlc.itch.io/devoradores-de-sombras

Copy with the downloadable content: https://izanderlc.itch.io/devoradoresdsombras

Thank you very much in advance and sorry for the inconvenience.

Deleted files are permanently removed and we can’t bring them back. If the jam host wants to let you submit again, confirm with them, remove your game from the jam, upload new files, then get the late submit link from them to add your game back to the jam.

This thread is for a a different jam that happened over a year ago.
