Looks like some games aren't marked for windows. Are we allowed to change our:
- File's registered operating system (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux, Android). This doesn't really do anything except mark which version is for which system, which is how the Itch App determines what can be downloaded via the app.
- File availability (whether or not downloads are allowed, basically)
- Release State - Doesn't really affect the game, but might affect the ability to download.
- Description of the game - Seems like a pretty minor thing. May have a minor effect on people clicking.
- Screenshots - see 6.
- Cover - might give someone an advantage in the fan vote if it causes more people to check it out because different covers might interest different people, but it doesn't actually affect the game itself.
As a note, it would be very odd for a game with no files available to download to have ratings.
I do wonder about some entries. It is also possible some people might have joined the contest and submitted a project/empty project just to vote, but I suspect some of the entries were more to advertise their game than to actually participate in the jam.
Also, what about games that were not uploaded to itch.io, but to other sites such as google drive?
