Playtest & Feedback Exchange Jam #6 » Community

Viewing post in isnt the #5 currently running?

It is, but there is a bug in itch.io, which I have sent messager to itch.io already 3months ago, and still have not received reply for them, hence I dont expect it to get fixed at this point anymore.

But point is, for some reason, when games I host get to the voting phase, in which the #5 is right now, it will show on the page like the Jam has already ended, and gives no option to vote.

When I look from my own pages "own hosted jams"-list, it shows like #5 is in voting phase, like it should be, but for whatever reason, it publicly isnt.

And as mentioned, I havent been able to get a single reply from itch.io to this issue, well, except for the autoreply telling that they received the message and will reply as soon as possible.

Idea has been to keep this monthly.

Originally idea was that you had 1 month to submit, and then the during next month people would keep playtesting and sending feedback.

Then by having monthly, you can keep submitting your game continously, at any time, and also get constant feedback.

If there would be running only one at a time, as in, one every two months, then that would mean you could submit your game only every second month, and similarly get feedback only every second month. This way you will always be able to submit your game, and also always be able to get feedback.

Also, as so far there seem to have been enough interest that people have been submitting their games, I have been holding a new one every month. If interest drops, then I will start holding these less often.
