Does anyone know when the Jam organizers will select the 10 winners? And where / how will they report it? I'm anxious hahaha
Yeah I wouldn't hold my breath for results. I've only managed to rate 13. Play the games in the meantime and leave some feedback. As for how they'll report, probably here. Might as well follow Devolver on twitter, though. They've made announcements there previously. That tweet shows your game in it, too.
Here's how I've been looking at it:
Playing an average of ~10 entries a day would take ~17 days.
Playing an average of ~6 entries a day would take ~28 days.
Playing an average of ~3 entries a day would take ~55 days.
It seems easier to spread games out across the team, rather than try to have literally every team member play literally every one of the 164 games themselves, so 3 a day could be a decent low-ish rate, and 10 a day could be a good high-ish rate.
Then add another day or two for other things (e.g. days off, discussing/coordinating, replaying games before making a final judgement, getting steam gift bundles set up, etc).
That'd put us anywhere in the next ~9-48 days?
This is all guesswork, though. Could be a surprise announcement happened while I was typing this, for all I know. But I feel like it's personally easier to find other things to focus on right now and just expect to hear something in December (which is when the vinyl album is set to start shipping, now that I think about it).
The winner has been announced!
