How should I handle new builds?

Greetings,

I would like to know if I am supposed to keep the version I uploaded at the end of the jam as the only one for download until ratings have closed.

There's been some great feedback and I have some bugs to squash.

I also have some significant changes planned alongside new levels, polishing and the like.

Should I update a new build and overhaul the game page as I progress or wait until the rating period is over?

Thanks for any tips you can offer

I feel like most jams let you squash bugs after the jam is over, but not necessarily add more polish, features, etc. until the voting is over

I’m sorry to get to your question so late!! During the jam bugfixes are appreciated, but adding features is a no-no. But once the jam is over, do literally whatever you want

Thanks for the helpful input.

I will gate my bigger changes behind a separate build and drop some bug fixes for smaller stuff in the interim.

Happy Gaming!
