Well, they did mention having a “few months” to complete the Game Jam. Maybe they forgot to change it at the start, or couldn’t. Either way this will help a lot of Game Devs, (including me, so I’m not arguing)
I’m definitely not arguing either! The extra time helps a lot, especially since I self-imposed waiting to start development until the jam officially started. Just wanted to make sure so I don’t accidentally miss the deadline!
