Hello! Now that submissions are closed, I do have a question regarding the rule about not updating anything? I understand if we release a V.2.0 or any other updates to what was already submitted it's not allowed. But does this rule apply to changing the screenshots provided? or the Coverart? Or adding a video trailer to our project? Or updating the description?
It's my first time making a game and submitting it to a game jam so my apologies if this sounds like a redundant question.
no its actually enemy data in json format to fix the difficulty of the enemy due to the malfunctioning function of "Abort Battle" feature in my RMMZ game project. It is malfunctioning because in conflict with a certain plugin i use in my project. I just want to link the Enemies json file (in description or comment) for downloaders to patch the game. Is it allowed?
As long as you aren't altering the main download, the one you submitted, you're fine. The judges will only play that download, not any addendum or other files on your page. The only way you'll get DQ'd is if you manage to change those submission files. Adding additional links for players who aren't the Judges is fine. :-)
Alright thank you!
2 other questions I have come to mind. First, will we as the contestants know if our game was disqualified? Like by email or notification or it just not appearing in the submissions for the game jam?
Second question, is it ok for us to post our games to other platforms now that submissions are closed, places like Steam or GOG or other similar platforms? Or would it be best to keep the games here on Itchio? At least until voting ends?
Hey there! Thanks for asking. :-)
1. You'll be notified if your game is DQ'd for breaking the rules. I believe you'll also be notified if your game doesn't advance, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
2. Please refrain from publishing the contest version of your game. If it wins, Komodo will get the rights to publish it, but you'll retain the rights to do whatever you want with it, including making a non-contest (like extended, complete, etc.) version.
