I understand, nice :) I have another question then!

This is just something personal, but I tend to group small games into a single game page so my itchio land page is not crowded with small games. For example, I already have made a horror game and my idea was to add a small section in that game page for the new game and add the download in that game page, not a total new one, since this game I plan for the jam (if the theme fits at least) might just have a duration of 5m of less (maybe first playthrough could be longer, maybe 15m).

It's okay that during the game jam, this small game has its own game page but then when the jam is over I'd like to do as I've explained, I suppose it would be possible, although I guess the stats about view/download would be lost, right? (I guess I could set it as private so at least I can see the stats by myself haha)

Last question is about the theme, I didn't understand well what it is, because I thought the "theme" is halloween or something in horror genre, but in the jam it is said that on 24th october the theme would be revealed so I am not sure what it means.

Hiya! If you wanted to upload multiple games onto a single page, then you'd have to just add it on there by yourself manually, so yeah unfortunately the download analytics and views will be lost in doing so.

About the theme, there will be an added theme/limitation announced which you can try and incorporate into your game idea already, on top of making it Halloween themed. It's there just to help people if they are stuck with creating an initial game idea, and we tend to make the theme fit very easily with the Halloween style, for example last year we had the theme "Mask the Truth", which created lots of really awesome games about deception and things like that, which works quite well with a spooky setting. 

However if you don't want to use it then that's completely fine too! Jams themes are just there to try and provoke new or unique mechanics but as always you don't have to use it if you don't want to. 

Hope this helps! - Mochii

Oh so using the theme is optional? That's great then :) Okay I think I got all my doubts clear now, thank you very much for the replies! Gonna join the jam now!

Good luck!✨Just as an extra note, there is a theme category for the voting so if you think there's an easy way of implementing the theme, I personally would because it means people can vote high on it :D
