Genies Account Creation

The Prerequisites page of the Genies Tech Docs site says that "You will only need to provide your phone number for account creation" but, when I click on the link it says that if you don't have an account you should "Apply for early access to the Workshop Portal".  Clicking that link  goes to a form that requires email, first & last name, "Website, Portfolio, or Social Profile Link", "Submission Type" (whatever that is) and "Tell us more about you and what you're looking for".  Doesn't even have an optional field for phone number.

I can only assume I've taken a wrong turn somewhere along the line; is there somewhere else I should be going for the account creation?


Edit: Also, while I think of it; the "7th Period" app doesn't seem to show up when I search in the Google Play store (I'm in the UK, not either of the ineligible countries listed in the Ts and Cs) - is this a problem?

Edit2: And the Discord Invite comes back saying it's invalid, and another, more promising sign-up link in the jam description requires a portfolio link, even after it doesn't kick you out for saying you've not shipped anything yet.  Is this normal for a Game Jam?  It's my first time trying to enter one, and I'm getting the impression that newcomers are unwelcome...

Yeah its pretty difficult to get through all the hoops in the process.

Sorry y'all >.< our account creation all has to be done manually on our end, but you should be able to access the workshop now. Apologies for that, we're still working on automating the account creation process.

Here's a new link for the Discord - not sure why the current one is not working. I'll need to look into that: https://discord.gg/D6MdMMeC

In the Discord, there are links for our Android Build of 7th Period, but I'll make sure there linked on the jam page as well. It's currently not published on Android at the moment, so we have to share the APKs for Android builds.
