Please ask any questions you have 馃敟

Hi,
Do I have to upload my game to itch.io in order to join the feedback fest? I only have submitted it to Steam. 
And do I have to submit a full game here or just a demo for the feedback fest?

Hi there,

all you need is an itch page with the link to the steam game.
if you have a demo you can include it in the itch page to help get more people to try your game

this would be a good example of a Steam only submission from the first feedback fest  https://dopeminearena.itch.io/dopemine-arena

Thank you very much!

I got a couple nearly finished games I would love to finish for Feedback Fest. Am I allowed to submit more than one?

yes 馃敟

Thanks. Looking forward to the start of the jam.

I see that judges will be reviewing submissions and rating games by overall fun, UI, art, and music. As a participating game dev, am I expected to give feedback on other games as part of  my participation, or is that optional?

Host(+1)

It is optional to give feedback on other submissions, however you will find that the more that you rate - the more others are happy to drop by and test your game based on itchios karma system

Thanks! I'll pick at least two or three to give detailed feedback to. :)

Can our entries for feedback be already finished, or do they need to be finished during the submission window only?

Host(+1)

they can already be finished this fest is to help get you more play testing

Awesome!

I just realized that the games I want to submit have price tags on them, so Imma probably put them on sale for 100% for the duration of Feedback Fest

I have a game I submitted to another jam that I really liked, but it got almost no views. I have no plans on changing the game itself beyond improving the itch.io page. Would it qualify for the jam?

Submitted(+1)

Oop. Looks like you already answered the same question for Kalius. I'll fix up the page and submit after the jam starts.

How often are we allowed to update our games during the jam?

Submitted

Do you mean after the submission deadline? I'm wondering the same. I deployed an emergency bugfix an hour or two after the submission deadline; if that disqualifies my submission, I understand.

Host

you're fine this event is to help improve/find bugs

Submitted

Thank you!

Host

as often as you want since you are trying to use the feedback to make a better game - just drop a comment on your submission feed to let people know what you have improved 

Submitted

Aight, thanks!
