Hi there! 

I just wanted to thank you for the jam. I often use them to advance my projects in order to get some out to the public and improve my skills.

But I've felt like the ratings are a bit unfair if they only have themes. Something like edition, mechanics, themes, writing and something like that would feel more right. Rating a handfull of games, just putting stars to the jam's themes and not comments or reasons, doesn't give any feedback or constructive criticism to keep getting better at what we love.

I'm not ranting about my score, as I just keep doing jams to put my ideas into action. But in the end, the rating days just gave me nearly nothing about my work, and I had to make more explicit comments to each project to express my thoughts.

Looking forward to next year. :)

I kind of like the themes, it puts less focus on perfectionism and makes it easier for people newer to the hobby to do well because there's no expectation to be the best.

The themes also allow creativity because not everyone followed each theme exactly and everyone still did super well in the themes they did try for. ^^

That is also super fair! I will also keep that in mind!

Thanks!

I was thinking that as well, tbh. I am still learning how I want to handle it, but I will def keep in mind that in the next one!
