To be fair all the ones I’ve done before had submissions visible, but most of those were unranked so it didn’t matter. Must be a setting on the organiser’s side I think.
Good luck with your game! First jam is always the most exciting (and stressful, haha).
Yeah, I don't intend on winning (especially since I joined like 3 days late) but I figured that I mind as well try the game jam because it will help me get better at coding.
