I am very dissapointed by this game and the fact that he had already made this for a different competition. He made it for another comp and then submitted it to this one. Which is very sad considering many people worked their fucking asses off and then this sucker comes along and puts in a game that was finished before the competition.
Viewing post in OMG! Buccaneer #OpenJam2017 jam comments
I am sorry to disappoint you. But as you can see both jams had the same time line and it is not prohibited to participate in more than one jam. Your aggressive behavior against other indie game devs, and FOSS community, shows me that you are not into the scene and may never will. If you have concerns about the plausibility of my submission, deliver a proof.
So anyhow here are the facts:
- OMG! Buccaneer is submitted to OpenJam and GDQ One Mechanic Game Jam (That´s where the OMG comes from in the name)
- GDQ One Mechanic Game Jam 2 was on October 6-8th
- Open Jam was also on October 6-8th
Also, when I have a look at your submission I could easily say that I have spend more time on my game than you.
There's a big difference between submitting something you've made beforehand versus submitting something that was made during the actual jam, or perhaps even better made for multiple jams that happened to be at the same time. While his code repository history isn't the most informative, that along with the fact that it says "... Edit: Seems like the post was cut here for some reason. I just wanted to point out that the repo and the game page have the same dates for when they became available.
I understand being frustrated about someone cheating in a honor based event like a game jam, but false accusations aren't much fun either.
I realized my mistake after his response. I didn't mean to diminish your game at all, it actually is quite fun. It reminds me of ftl. I should not have accused you of not making it in the time frame. I was just a little angered that you submitted it to two game jams. Although it isn't in the rules the people running this event said they would add that as a rule next time. I also thought that the other jam you submitted it to took place before this one. That is why I came off so strong. Hope your game does well!
