Well done again on being People’s Choice. My feedback if it was not noted down on the day was adding a timer to see how long people last before they died. You can have a leaderboard to get people more engaged to beat each other’s time.

BTW, do give feedback, it will help improve the game. If you have a project page with your unfinished game, do let us know, we would like to see that also.

Well done to everyone who took part in this year’s Cyber Security Game Jam. 19:00 - 20:00 Play and vote

If you had any difficulty uploading your game, please send Stephanie an email and we can support you to upload.

Now … dinner time and we will see you at 8pm for the results.

Warm wishes, Stephanie and Vicky

Comment on the project page from me, copied to here:

Cool, when you finish the game, what happens after you finish your purchase of clothes/games? Do you get a score on pass/failing from your options playing through the game?

Just out of curiosity, how did you find Twine when making this game? And if you were to polish the game to a final full game, would you continue using Twine? And what other narrative would you add?

It’s the final countdown!

30 mins left to submit your game. It doesn’t have to be fully finished, but it needs to be playable, do add information about the game on your project page to give people more context. It will help people understand your game before they play and vote.

Reminder:

1.  7pm: The itcho.io will automatically close for uploads at 7pm sharp. Be sure to have your game up by then else we cannot vote on your game; do this now, it's a link to your project page and you won't be rushed later 😉.
   

2.  7pm – 8pm: We are inviting all players to support others by checking out other games that was developed today.

Heya! Please submit your game to the game jam, we cannot see your work in progress if you have been busy uploading screenshots, etc.

We will send a reminder at 17:00, we know how time can run away while you are in the flow. Good luck!

Vicky here, back from lunch. Hope you had a good break.

I’ll be on zoom if you have any questions. Don’t forget to share your work in progress in your devlogs. 😊

We hope your game developments are both challenging and exciting. However we all know food is key! Here is your friendly reminder to re-fill, take some air and re-charge.

We will also do the same. We will take a break from 13:00 – 14:00. We will be back on Zoom from 14:00 and will remain there until 18:00 for any drop in questions you might have.

Have a lovely lunch and see you all soon.

Thanks for this, I forgotten about itchi.io until I saw your share on FB IrishGameDev group. So Mick and I created a game jam page for yesterday's GameCraft, would you mind submitting your game to it? I'll try and get others to submit theirs also. Thanks in advance. http://itch.io/jam/dublin-gamecraft-christmas-special-2015
