Hi Tom,

could you explain how the "linking to launcher" part works? I Have submitted my game, but in the rules a launcher is mentioned?

Thanks!

Hey there! Was going to post today, so here we are.


LINKING TO LAUNCHER

The Launcher is finished.  Run it here: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=36399

To get in the launcher, submit your cart to on itch.io. Your cart should be on Lexaloffle with the tag "toyboxjam" and please provide:

  • Cart  Full Name
  • Alias on Itch.io it was submitted under
  • Cart Name on Lexaloffle

The Launcher:

A) lists the carts and launch them

B) provides a pause menu entry to go "Back to Launcher"


I would also recommend making your submission playable on itch.io by exporting to HTML, changing gamename.html to index.html, then zipping the two files for upload. You have to check the box that says HTML - playable in browser.


Thanks for asking about this!

So I think I got the submission right, but I'm kinda of a noob so

I set up project and jam submission here: https://itch.io/jam/toy-box-jam-2019/rate/542582

I created the thread on lexaloffe: Cecio of the Valley [toyboxjam2019]

Is this right? Also on lexaloffe the post is not tagged with cartidges tag. Does anyone know why?

Thanks and sorry again for the noobness :D
