Hello!

I have several questions:

  • Can anyone participate as “solo dev” (gathering resources from several places and designing the gameplay)?
  • The final entry can have a Web build for free and a secondary download like a PDF book for payment/donationware?
  • Can this web build have a “cross promotion” placement so I can feature other of my games?

Thank you for your time!

Hello!

  • Yes, you may participate as a solo dev - many people do! 
  • I like the idea of having paid extras! Yes, that is fine too.
  •  Can you elaborate a bit more on what this "cross-promotion" would entail, please?

Sure! “Crosspromotion” stands for promoting other project/assets that you already own. I imagine a separate screen before starting the game(or after the credits) in a similar way that this quick image

My full picture is having a free webgl build with cross promotion and a secondary download with a Book PDF (maybe with more than 1K words?) for min price.

Does this idea meet the rules?

Hello! So after long deliberation:

  • You can do whatever you want with the PDF (it's more like bonus content, not really a part of the game!), so feel free to make it have as many words as you want, etc.
  • We're generally fine with the idea of having an extra screen that you can access from the main menu in which you can do the cross promo. However, please use this in good faith: as long as it doesn't go against the rule of making your game a self-contained story, it's okay.
However, I'd like to mention that as an alternative, itch lets you create embeds that you can then paste into websites (I've previously done it in the project pages of my other games). So for an easier way to do the cross-promo, you could try this instead!

Great news!! Thanks!! I didnt know about the embed and it can be useful for posting un other websites 👀.

However I’ll been stick to the crosspromotion screen since I would like to take advantage of this jam to develop a template to use in other games, un this way I’ll be able to promote games of future team mates!
