Acerola Jam submissions have concluded! Please keep reading for information on community engagement. 

In case you forgot, the games with the best ratings will be pooled and polled during the judging stream to decide who wins the community's choice award, so be sure to play lots of games and give your feedback! But, please keep in mind the following safety information:

 Unfortunately, because game jam games are just random .exes, windows will flag nearly if not all the downloaded submissions as suspicious or viruses. This is okay and normal! You can run them anyways. But, malware submissions are a possibility! Please be mindful of what you download and run. If this is a concern to you I would wait a few days for any potentially harmful submissions to be removed, or stick to games that run in the browser. Games with high ratings are most likely safe, but please understand that we want everyone to have a chance so if only the popular games get played then that sort of reinforces the popularity. I will be posting games I really like in the jam-highlights channel in my discord server to give a bit of a spotlight, so please keep a watchful eye. 

Now, if you're a nerd and know how to do virtual machine stuff, I really need your help!! I cannot reasonably test all of the submissions myself in a timely manner so I need as many people as possible to sift through the submissions in a safe environment to find any malware. If you can find a malware submission, I'll give you a cool role or something for your service. 

Next, if you suspect a submission has broken the rules, please DO NOT talk about that in the forums or discord server and instead dm me about it personally on discord. I do not want anyone feeling bad about what they've made because someone else thinks their art kind of looks ai generated or something else is off. I do not want to foster a community that points fingers like that, so please, keep any suspicions private to you and me. We're here to praise people for their legitimate hard work, keep it positive and constructive. 

Lastly, thank you so much to everyone who submitted a game today and honored my best friend. If we do another jam it probably won't be during this same time period, so this one was very special and you should be proud of your accomplishment. I'm very excited to see what everyone made! 

Okay now go play the games

that last line. shout out to him...

Acerola i have a huge problem. I need your help.

I saw many people ( 2 people actually ) that rated my game got two problems and i know how to fix them. But HEAR IT LOUD. The problem is not in the game. or it is not a bug that makes the game act weirdly. The problem is in GPUs. My GPU and their GPU. but most of the time every computer you met will have different GPU. and the thing is all gpus cz of being not stable do the stuff by their own. I wrote my game in OpenGL and handled the GPU by myself. But two problems occurred:

- I used the OpenGL version 4.6 that not every drivers support. so i think i need to downgrade the version i am using cz i don't really need the latest opengl version. I just want that every GPU can use it.
- I had some debug callback code that whenever any message came from the GPU either warning, error, or a notification would freeze the game and i did that cz i need to find some bugs that might occur. I playtested after submitting. the game i made got no notification for me. but the other person's pc's GPU sent a notification and that froze it. so i also want to delete the frozing part of the game.

So I just want to delete 2 lines of code. And i would be happy if you let me to. I will show that i am just changing two lines of code by video call or a video proof but please let me change it. And yes it is a game jam not a tech jam or GPU jam. I know cz it worked in my GPU it would work in some of them but first of all i am getting very less reviews. only two rated till now. And also i asked both two. So if i can solve that then i might get some review tbh. so please let me. I won't a change a single line of the games code. Tallk to me in discord for you either answers. #jam-questions channel. I have asked you there as well.
