Thank you all for participating in this jam. This should be the final announcement. 

If you did not receive an email then please check spam, then double check which email you provided in your submission, and if you still can't find it, then send us an email (TheNerdyTeachers@gmail.com) and we'll help sort it out.

Feedback Points VS Itch Star Rating

In the feedback documents, you will see that I gave a rating system out of 10 points, while on itch it is a system of 0-5 stars. So I converted over but in a slightly unique way.


As you can see, the 5 star is reserved only for a perfect score of 10 points from the feedback document, which I did not give out easily. I did this to try to emphasize the final results on Itch so that whatever order it turns out to be, there should be clear top 3 rankings at least. I thought this would be important because if I were participating in a jam like this, I'd want to read all the top rated documents to learn from them. 

So congratulations to everyone who put in the work of getting your ideas down on paper and submitting them. And an extra congratulations to those who won a free PICO-8 license! I had so much fun with this jam and I hope you did too! 

Go make those games!

Thank you so much for giving us all this opportunity! Please more of it! It's a great way for us all to learn by practicing, on the side of the great course you provide. 馃檶

what a fun jam! thanks for the participants for creating these nice game concepts!

if you do it again, it would be nice to find out if a javascript pdf reader can be easily embedded in itch pages, so that the content can be read right away without the step of downloading.

Oh that would be great. Good idea. I'll have to look into that next time.
