Hi! Some advice:
-
Don’t leave creating the game’s jam entry to the last moment. Remember you have to publish it before submitting it for the jam! From 3 game jams I attended, 2 times I failed to submit my game in time :D Fool me twice :(
-
Don’t be shy to advertise your games in the jam’s community. That’s ok. The jam is community graded, so other accounts who submitted an entry will grade your game. People tend to play more of the games they know exist. In big jams your game will just sink if you don’t advertise it. Our jam is tiny, but still, why not brag about your creation?
-
If you are not sure if you have the time to work on a project for a whole week, remember you can create a tiny demo in one day and submit it. Still it’s fun and shows support!
