Hello! I got the results of the survey back. We definitely have to extend the jam! This is a hard decision and I take responsibility, if you have to be angry at someone, let it be me Results attached, thank you very much for all your responses.

I calculated the mean value of the number of days and it’s about 3.77. So, we will extend the jam by 3 days. The final schedule:

Start: Friday, July 11, 2025 @ 18:00 UTC
Submission Deadline: Monday, July 21, 2025 @ 23:59 UTC
Voting Ends: Thursday, July 31, 2025 @ 23:59 UTC 
Results: Saturday, August 2, 2025 @ 16:00 UTC

I understand how this will be bad for you to learn now, when you already planned the scope of your game for a week of dev. But, on a positive note, it will satisfy a lot of people and add 3 days for you to polish your games. Also, this jam was created mainly as a fun, unifying celebration of SKG’s victory. Although I am sorry if I put you in a bad position with this decision.

Hope your projects are going great and there is no procrastination going on ;) Potato

Shame that even with this game extension, I won't gonna make it. I spend more then 20h on it and I just end Faze 1 from 3. I have no idea, how any one manage to do it while having day time job, family  and chores. So Im leaving the race, but I wish luck every one else. PS: I still intend to finish the game, but at my pace. I learn a lot from this, so I have "NO RAGRETS".

Yup, this is not easy :D I think you really have to down-scope everything you imagine to do at jams. You sure have nothing to show for your effort? Like a small demo that would count of an entry?

Anyways, thanks for joining and supporting games preservation and SKG!
