A couple of days after I submitted my entry (MAGIC DUNGEON), someone alerted me to the fact that it wasn't working due to missing DLLs. Then I found out that I needed to include some Microsoft Visual C++ runtime DLLs along with the executable, so I removed the original ZIP  with the game files and uploaded a new one with the required DLLs.

There is actually a comment in the game page from someone who tried the original release and he said it wasn't working. After including the DLLs in the new release, I tested it in a different computer and it worked fine.

I noticed that apparently someone had already rated the game before I uploaded the new ZIP, so my question is if the original release actually worked for someone (probably because the system already had the MSVC redistributable installed), or it just didn't work and it was "rated" anyway?

I have a question regarding updates to the game ->

I wanted to update the game due to already recieving some useful feedback regarding controls and content while witnessing players play the game and I read on other posts that there is some room to update the games as long as there is gamejam version still available to play and is clearly displayed as such. My version was posted as 'Play In Browser' version though. I was wondering, if I can export PC version, which is exact same as the one currently playing in the browser and include warning in the game description (or banner, to display it more visibly at the top of the page, so everyone would see that message first), that for voting and a jam version one should download the PC one marked as "Gamejam edition" for example? I was expecting voting to be max week long, the same as jam. I just dont want to wait 1,5 month to update the game on my page as some things are still bothering me about it so I'm eager to fix it already :P

My post is regarding the game "The Last of Dingus" if it wont be visible in this topic.

The Last of Dingus by Janku (itch.io)

I'd love to add a little graphics improvement, can I do it too?

Thank you

See title. Basically, can I add better screenshots, add to the game description, etc. or do I need to wait until voting finishes before I can make these kinds of changes. (Not asking to do anything like reupload game or make patches/bug fixes after deadline) 

Edit: Also I forgot to put 7DRL Tag, can I add that now?

Thank you for hosting the Jam! 🙂

Would it be okay to take an extra day or two to finish the game and then publish it as "incomplete"? I know I failed the challenge but the game is very near completion and it would be a shame  not to be able to show it

The game is also severely lacking in content, it has support for a procedurally generated map but only three locations, for example. I would like to add more content but I feel like that's most likely going too far

Since it should be "a way to maintain the spirit of the challenge", do I get it correctly that the procedural generation is just supposed to make the games feel more roguelike-y, and using the model of randomly generated levels with randomly placed enemies (but with enemies of fixed types, as seen in many traditional RL's) would be OK? Or does it need to be ingrained deeper into the game?

I'm sorry if the question is a bit dumb. I just wanted to be 100% sure about where the red line lies exactly, so that my entry is not refused if I manage to make it in time.

As far as I can tell now though I can only post in three sections labelled QA, Team-making, and Resources, none of which seem suited to that...

Can a moderator please add a new section?

Would love to hear what others are planning to use!

It's not clear what "Pick a start time on Saturday or Sunday in your local time" means.

Thank you

Am I able to skip this design aspect or is it necessary?

I am planning on making my submission using a prior game as a starting point. 

Am I allowed to make any of the following changes to the existing game before the start of the Jam, or should I make no modifications until the Jam starts?

Work I hoped to do before the Jam includes:

• Creating a copy of the game, and checking that the game still works in my Game Engine.
• Deleting assets that I think I will not need from the prior game.
• Importing and configuring new versions generic gameplay systems (e.g. Scene Transition Manager, Music/SFX Managers)

To be clear, I am not planning on making any modifications before the Jam such as adding assets and logic that are novel or unique.

Thanks!

I have in the past started and gave up on a few projects that aren't roguelikes/lites, but could be turned into one. Would that be allowed?

There's no "realoading a save" on board games, it's very character centric, the Mysteries and rumours you have to solve are picked ramdomly from a pool, it's turn-based and has clear runs

It's not a perfect example or course, it's possible for a single person to control multiple characters for once, and you simply pick a new one after you die (thou Doom advances and you have to waste significant time getting your items back, if you can get them back at all). Plus the game is usualy played on a single (long) sitting, so permanent consequences might not be as impactfull

If I were to develop a game to the molds of Eldritch horror, possibly mitigating or removing the elements mentioned in the prior pharagaph, would it be submitable to the Jam?

I want to compete solo and art takes me a long time, it is cool if I do these things ahead of time?

Some time ago I customized the Python3 libtcod tutorial, so my son and daughter can play with it and build their own roguelikes. Today I told them about the 7DRL , encouraged to join the jam, and at the moment they liked this idea.

As they're underage, I prefer to no create itch.io accounts for them. Can, if they finish their games, publish it using my account, or should I create new accounts for them and join the 7DRL Challenge?

Thank you! :)
