Yes that would be correct, while it is a idiom it is fine to take it literally as well though!
That is completely alright and part of the reason we have it set up the way that we do. After the jam has finished, judges will have a month to go over the entries and at that point the winners will be showcased on our site like this: http://tyranobuilder.com/summer-jam-15-winners/ we dont even host the game so you will have have full ownership over your creation the whole time.
The goal of the jam is to help you take a project that may just be an idea and turn it into a project that you can make commercial.
30mins is the cutoff time, ideally even with a teaser you want to go through the five stages of a story so while it is acceptable you may want to modify your teaser to go through all the stages:
Exposition: Setting the scene.
Rising action: Building the tension.
Climax: The exciting bit.
Falling action: Tidying up loose ends.
Resolution: Ending the story.
You dont have to share the ending of the story, just make sure you leave them on a note were some resolution has occurred so that there is some satisfaction for finishing the story. Many times these show up in the form of story arcs within the story.
There is no minimum time requirement so your more then welcomed to make a shorter story, the only reason we have a time limit on the maximum side is so that the guest judges are able to get through everyone entries, so having shorter stories actually makes it easier on the judges.
Sorry I reworded it on the jam page, so that its better clarified that its intended for the max rather then 30mins across the board, we said "approximately" in regards to reading speed being relative, we werent trying to limit shorter works.
Hi,
I submitted my game an hour ago, but it didn't show up on the jam list, here's the screenshot.
And now the Jam is already close Q.Q ...
Thank you o/
Ooooooh, my bad, the status was draft >w<
now is live https://simplytirza.itch.io/honeymoon-alone
And looks like it showed up on the jam page as well! glad that was resolved, I noticed another use who has an entry without any page ether, thanks to you I think I know what there issue is as well.
Hi! Neeka is my sister and was asking on my behalf. Sorry that this is so late! I was having problems uploading mine, but didn't think I'd be able to submit it past the submission deadline. I couldn't find a way to PM you. I didn't realize how long it would take to upload my game, and then I uploaded it without all the files in the extract folder... Is there still I way I can submit it somehow? I'd have to reupload it with the other files, though. Wasn't sure how to do this.
Your battle system really made it feel like an RPG, I really enjoyed how you could take something so off the wall but have a system and world that fit so well, it was a real joy playing the game and I was never sure where the story was going to take me. the fights were odd but had enough cues to lead you in the right direction and I actually ended up caring for the characters.
Thanks for all the work you put into it, we really loved the moral of the story and liked the spin you put on it, in addition to the art being endearing.
