Non-gameplay updates after deadline

I’ve submitted my entry on time, but then realized it is missing a few quality-of-life features (like saving progress when quitting, pausing music when the window isn’t focused, stuff like that). Is it acceptable to update the build with such non-gameplay changes after the deadline, or is it better to wait until the jam voting ends?

I am also interested in pushing a fix for a game crash and some SFX already in the game but not playing 👀

  • Keep your original entry accesible to jurors, curious people, and your future self
  • 7drl++ versions with only QoL improvements and critical bugfixes are common, just NO additional content
  • You are of course free to continue developing your idea post 7drl. You might want to leave the submitted itch.io page for the original and the 7drl++ versions , and create a new one for the continued development (or just keep a link to the original)
