Brackeys Jam 2020.2

Uploading/submitting related questions Q: Can I update my game after uploading? A: No you can't. File uploads are disabled. Don't try to, because if you delete your game file in the process you also won't be able to reupload it and therefore not have a game. Q: I had problems submitting! Can you help me submit it anyway?! A: No. There was a 1 hour grace period in which you could ask for our help with this, but that has long passed. We will not help anyone else upload their game. Q: I am 10000000000% sure I submitted to the jam but it says I didn't so I can't rate, what's wrong?! A: Check your game page if you actually submitted it to the jam. If you did, it will show you a banner of it being a submission to the jam. If that's not there, you didn't properly submit to the jam and I refer you to the previous question. Q : How do I add people to my team? A: Go to your game page -> edit game -> more -> admins. From here, add their itch.io username as an admin and mark them as a contributor to the game. Rating related questions Q: I worked in a team and was not the person who submitted the game, but it says I can't rate because I didn't submit! How do I fix this?! A: Ask the person who submitted to add you as a contributor to the game. For how to do this, see the above question. Q: Where do I see my current score? A: You can't. Scores are only shown after the rating period ends. Making changes Q: Can I change the page of my game? A: Yes, only file uploads are disabled. Q: Can I make changes to the game after the rating ends? A: Yes! After the rating period ends, you are free to do whatever with your game! Upload all fixes and content updates you want! If there are any other questions, please ask them as a new reply in this post. I will answer them and keep the post updated.

Hello, is there a possibility of shortening the raiting period? It is very long and right now almost no one is playing or rating games.

StrodoGamesSubmitted5 years ago

eh? ratings have gone up 1.5k or more today and I presume there will be a lot more ratings coming in Fri/Sat/Sun

Nitai99Submitted5 years ago

You are eight about today, I didn't check it. But yesterday and the days before it showed constant decline and I remeber that yesterday especially almost no one rated games.

The community tab has also really slown down.

TheDutchMagikarpJam HostSubmitted5 years ago

Hey! No we won't shorten the rating period.

First of all it would be weird to say "You have this much time to rate" and then just shorten it by half.
Secondly, not everyone has time during the same days. There are also people that have full time jobs during the week and are too tired to play games after they come home. They can use the weekend coming up, for example.

Nitai99Submitted5 years ago

Ok, you have a point about shortening it.

But why did you choose 2 weeks in the first place? 1 week allows for a weekend, and plenty of time for people to try to rate.

sashbrosSubmitted5 years ago (2 edits)

You have a decent point given that your game is rated by 23 others and is qualified to compete (as 20 is minimum). But not everyone is as lucky as you because there are 1869 other games and many of them are still not able to reach even 10 ratings. So be patient, or better, work on a new project. Don't feel bad for what I just said :D

Edit: Time is needed to play these much games so more and more of the games are able to cross 20 ratings :)

Nitai99Submitted5 years ago

I understand what you are saying, but I do have a problem with saying that I am lucky.

I rated tons of games. I had put up a thread even before the rating started that offeree people to just post the game there and I will rate it. But it wasn't a rate for rate. Most people ignored my request that they also take the time to check my game.

I used all the time I had for like 3 days straight to rate games and give lots of feedback.

So please don't say that I am lucky to have 23 ratings since I have worked hard to rate other people's games and if anything, needing to ask people to rate my game so that I can pass 20 ratings after spending so much time on ratings shows how much the rating system has broken this community. People aren't willing to play each other's game unless they get something in return. We are so caught up in making that rating number go up that we lost our ability to enjoy games. And what is the point in playing games, if you don't enjoy it?

The problem is not with the length of time, it is with itch. With the rating system. Why isn't karma the default? Not that anyone browses games. I am not sure what itch can do about it but I do know that ludom dare doesn't have this problem, or at least didn't have it.

Sorry if this reply is a bit... Not nice? I just had to get this off my chest.

sashbrosSubmitted5 years ago

No problem!! It's okay! The thing is you can't do anything about the current situation. The best is to just wait for the results.. Better start working on something else to divert the mind from "results in x days". Let's not take this discussion further XD

Oh, of course, yes, I have moved on to other prjects. It's just not going very well so I am procrastinating on it here lol.

thanks for reply

Nitai99Submitted5 years ago

I believe you also lose karma when your game is rated. So the most karma games are the games with the highest ratio between amount of games rated and amount of ratings.

It might also take comments as a parameter, not sure.
