Joined the jam before that was a requirement and I totally get it but not sure I should add my project now. I actually started in May and I've worked on it a few hours a week since. I'm not an experienced developer and have never released a project but was getting to the point where I thought I could at least share a demo and then this game jam launched and I thought, oh cool, takes the pressure off sharing something as an introvert when a bunch of people are, haha. I've actually put in a ton of work since, anticipating releasing it for this jam - but now it feels unfair, even as a complete novice. Not that I feel I'll "win" anything, just that time makes such a huge difference with these things and maybe some aspects of mine will be more polished than others, but only because I had way more time.

I should probably skip this one?

It’s up to you. To me personally (PotatoGameDev) it’s ok, as long as you are clear about it:) If you decide to submit, write it down in the transparency note and the people will judge you by that. You might not win, because one of criteria is “Jam authenticity”, so people will give you zeros for making everything before the jam. This jam is mainly for fun and support of the movement, so I wouldn’t overthink it. If the community disagrees, please share your opinion!

I appreciate the fast response! Really not wanting to win anything or compete against anyone with an unfair advantage so I've no problem adding a transparency note. Just liked the jam, theme fit, finally gave me a push to share what I've been working on. But I don't want to look like I'm taking advantage of anything and am the master of overthinking :)
