Okay great, thanks!

One other question, I've got a project I want to work on during this, but I've also got a jam that starts while this one is happening, can I just upload updates on either game? It doesn't just have to be one right?

Yes, the daily work can be anything, as long as it's work that's meaningful to you (not a meaningless work assignment or obligation) and creative work (not "I spent my time learning about quickbooks so I can eventually sell my game").

Hello!

First off, thank you for this jam. It seems perfect for what I am doing. I just have a few questions.

Maybe I've missed something, but how do you submit the devlog?

Also, I'm planning to make devlogs for the final version of a game demo. I hope that's fine, and that it's fine to keep my game title as it is. I'll name my devlogs after the jam.

Thanks.

Hey! Welcome! You can use Itch's devlog functionality: https://itch.io/updates/introducing-devlogs

...or you can simply upload a text file every day to your project.

Should we post the links of our develogs as comments in our submissions, or will you check them under or game page?

I can check them on your page. I'm glad to check, but ultimately wether or not you worked 6 days out of every week will be based on trust. Someone would be able to fake it if they want to, but that would only be letting themselves down.
