Can I update the number of allowed players in my game?

Hey all, I submitted The Subtle Art of Giving a Duck https://itch.io/jam/tgcxcoreblazer/rate/3626296, a multiplayer game that requires 4 players. This was a design decision we made early on and ran out of time to allow for more flexible group sizes, so currently you cannot access the game with less than 4 players. 

I feel bad that people who want to play can't because they don't have a large enough group. I didn't realize there was no Discord server for the jam, as I thought people could coordinate on that. But without one I realize it's nearly impossible to get a group of strangers together.

Would it be okay to make an update that makes the game work with fewer players? I can mark it as not part of the jam or something. I wouldn't change any other game logic, just allow the game to start with fewer players.

There's actually a discord the jam if you're interested:)
