Viewing post in Question about suitability for submission

Hi, sounds like an interesting project. I'm not too sure what's best though, if you don't want to split the tracks then all I can suggest is some big bold text at the start of the game description. Just a sentence explaining that only 1 track is for this jam. Not sure itch offers any alternative to that.

The fact it’s an album of games is absolutely integral to the project. And as I said, another track was done for a jam and there will probably be others as well; I can’t put all of them into the first sentence of the description.

I wish itch had jam-specific descriptions, argh.

Ah, I asked about this on the itch.io discord and someone suggested that the jam could have a custom submission field that anyone can fill in, so for example a field like "What has been finished?" or "How long has this been sitting around?" or the like could be helpful, even for normal submissions. :)

Oh right OK, well I already set that up. There is a custom free-text field for the jam that asks how long you've been working on the submission (did the same in last year's jam if you wanted to have a look). Will that work for you?

Ah, sure, that's fine! Thanks.
