One last update before the rating period is over. I added a Karma sort. This one is inspired by Ludum Dare, where it's sorted by ratings_given - ratings_recieved. What this means is that people who have rated a lot, but not received many ratings are bubbled to the top. I'm actually going to tweak this formula a bit to give precedence to those who need ratings more, but I figured I should get it out quick since many people were asking for it. Enjoy.

As a reminder, after the rating period is over, the final results will be delayed for about an hour as we process the votes. Thanks

I don't think the "Most ratings" and "Popular" is really a good idea. I'm afraid it will give the most rated games even more ratings and make the most popular games even more popular when i think the most optimal outcome would be getting every game the same amount of ratings.

Here's an idea: a random game button could help people choose a game to play, as there are a lot of submissions and it could be hard to choose which one to go for.

Thanks so much for continuing to update the site and making actual useful, requested changes! 

Just a small note but on mobile (chrome) the filters get squashed down so much that you can't read the text. They look OK in landscape, but not portrait. 

I also think that it's too easy to forget to click 'Save' on rating submissions. I forgot a few times myself, then watched Mark's stream where he forgot a few times too. Maybe scores could save automatically as soon as you click them, or make the Save button more obvious, or warn you if you're about to leave the page with unsaved changes.

Anyway these are relatively small quibbles. Keep up the awesome work! 

New filters are very cool! And reporting broken games seems an awesome idea.

If you don't mind, I'd like to share some thoughts on submission process regarding UI. The only thing frustrated me was that our game didn't show  up in the list of my existing games on itch.io for submission. I thought it was due to server issues, tried to refresh page and other stuff, but it didn't work. It took me a while when I undestand that pressing "Add new project" button automatically submit game to jam and our game is already submitted. So it would be perfect to show already submitted game in the list of existing  games for submission (if it's not a bug of other kind). 

Thank you for your work!

Hi Leafo! Thanks for the new updates to the submissions page. The filters help a lot to tell which games will end up on Mark's top 100. I have a quick question though, how does the popular filter work? Is it based on view/download count on the page? Thank you! 

I still really like the ludum dare system where people how rate a lot of game tenmd to buble up at the top of the list, encourage everyone to rate. It's quite common for people to wonder how to make their game more visible and with this system the obvious answer would be "go and rate games". The main draw back is that it might encourage some people to randomly rate games without relly playing them.

So I'd love to have the default filter being semi random, with game entries having a weight based on the ratio rate_given by rate_received

Would be also nice to have a text filter. A simple text input and when you type it filtered out games that doesn't contain the string in the properties of the entry (name, author, platform etc.) I can do that already with the search field in the brwser but somehow I would find it more convenient as a filter option.

I know this is kind of out of place but I think a considerably big amount of people are forgetting the "Save Rating" button.

I just realized that my game has ‭367‬ plays and only 52 ratings. I think a lot of people forget pressing the "SAVE" button. I realized that I myself forgot twice too when I looked back on the comments I gave.

Then I saw Mark himself forgetting the save button during his stream. The audience had to warn him so he got back and re-rated the submission.

Can you make it so that on rating value change the rating is saved and remove the button.

not really the jam page feature suggestion per se, but i'd like to be able to search jams by their name in the search box, not only games and creators! it's sometimes difficult to find an older jam from itch.io without resorting to google.

I submitted a game on Sunday and it 404s when anyone besides me tries to access it. Even people who have accounts tell me that my page is empty when they search my name. Was our submission deleted? I got it uploaded during the middle of the slowdown.

Edit: here is a link to the game's page. https://fumeshi.itch.io/robo-cross

Games are often created as a team of developers. However, only the person that uploads the game and submits it to the jam gets a jazzy "Submitted"-button next to their name, even if the rest of the team is made contributor on the admin page. I do think that the button is essential when I post a comment on their game, for them to know that I too have participated. I circumvented the problem by adding the link to the game as my display name but well, it is not ideal ^^'

It seems like a small change that would make getting ratings easier, but of course I don't know the actual back-end implications of such a change.
With kind regards,

I can't seem to filter the submissions by Linux support any more. I'm pretty sure you used to be able to. In the "Filter" box there's Windows, Mac, and even Android but not Linux. I assume this was introduced as part of this update, and is simply a bug or oversight.

Edit: For anyone wanting to rate Linux games having this problem, a work-around is to use the randomizer, which _does_ have a Linux filter, and as a bonus, can use multiple filters at once. Actually it'd be nice to have that functionality on the main list, too.
