Is it alright to continue work on the game before the jam has officially started?

I'm excited to take part in this jam, it's pretty different from the ones I've done before, where you had to make a project from scratch based on a theme that is not revealed until the jam beings. This leads me to my question:

It's still a couple days before the jam officially begins, so should I hold off on continuing work on my project until it starts, or is it okay to get to work early?

It's totally fine, but we advise you save a snapshot of your game right before the jam starts. When you submit your game to the jam you will be asked to submit your improved game and also your pre-jam version. This jam is ranked, and one of the criteria for judging will be based on how much progress was made during the actual jam period!

Ok, thanks! Good to know.
