Game Off 2020

Hi there! In no particular order, here are answers to some frequently asked questions. Please let me know if anything's unclear or you have more questions and I'll keep this updated. > Can we use Unity or Unreal Engine? Yes! > Can we use pre-made assets? Absolutely, although many people will create their own. I'd recommend adding some attribution in your GitHub repository's README. > Can we use pre-made code? The use of game engines, libraries, templates for new games, etc. is fine. In fact, it's highly encouraged! Taking a game you've been working on for months, or forking a game and changing some pixels is probably not in the spirit of the jam :) > Can we sell the games (for the jam or post jam)? Absolutely! > Is there a twitter hashtag? The official hashtag is #GitHubGameOff . We 💜 seeing work-in-progress screenshots throughout the month! Are games allowed if they contain 18+ content? No restrictions on content, but if it's something I wouldn't show my kids or grandparents... then it may be less likely that it'll appear on our blog 😎 Please also see itch.io's note on adult content . > What are the voting categories? Similar to last year, games will be rated on the following: Overall, Gameplay, Graphics, Audio, Innovation and Theme Interpretation. > What kinds of licenses are required/accepted for the public GitHub repo? You're welcome to use whatever kind of license you wish! See this documentation for tips on choosing / applying a license. > Can I edit the game after the submission period? Please don't change the game on the itch.io page until after the voting period ends. If there's a bug that seriously affects/prevents playability that's a "quick fix", please feel free to address it. Just leave a note on the itch.io page saying what you changed and why. Since the code is not being judged, you can update the GitHub repository any time.

I had internet connectivity issues just before upload, can I please upload my game? https://reitenator.itch.io/moonpunchman

Is there any way I can get my game submitted? I had it built before the deadline but the uploads took way longer than expected.

How Do I get a submission link? So I have joined the jam ages ago and tried to submit but have no place to submit. Am I missing something?

The reset button of our game is invalid. We need to change it. Now that the game has been submitted, can it be modified during the voting period？ Because I am a foreigner, I am not sure about your explanation.

Hey is there any info on the later links?

Hi there! Our current release can't be enjoyed entirely due to a bug. What are the specific steps required to post a quick fix? Thank you!

LiveOVErdriveSubmitted3 years ago

Will ratings be released immediately after voting ends or will there be a waiting period?

Hey, there. I'm not sure if i misunderstood or was it unclear but when i've uploaded a game i set it to be released next year, and i didn't know it means people can't download my game until then. Now i'm trying to fix that but no success, this option can't be changed... :( Do i have to make a new submission or there is a way to do that? thanks!
