Hello everyone,
yesterday, by popular demand, we've decided to extend the submission deadline by a week!
This means you have plenty of time to finish your projects, fix bugs (which you could do anyway since itch.io allows for jam entries to be modified after they've been submitted), or join and start one if you haven't already.
Remember to credit the original artists and provide a link to the artwork your game was inspired by.
You mean the timer on the jam page? https://itch.io/jam/a-game-by-its-cover-2016
It's already been updated. The original due date was August 1 @ 2:00 AM (CEST), now it's August 8 @ 2:00 AM (CEST).
Don't worry about submitting your game. If you miss the deadline, just let us know. We can add your game to the jam manually, even after the deadline. :)
You could also submit a placeholder now and just update it whenever. I personally don't like crunch, but unfortunately the game jam format in general implicitly expects people to crunch (because of the very limited time frame). I wanted to avoid this a bit, so I made the jam a month long, and even extended the deadline.
Really, don't worry. Just make something and submit whatever. This is supposed to be relaxing and fun.
