In these last two days, you should hopefully be mostly done. Make sure to polish up any outstanding issues and add any last details you want!

Oh, and I would like to know something:

Would you guys like a second Submarine Jam, a jam of some other genre, or no more jams from me? (I won't be offended if you say no more)

After seeing some entries I can say that the theme is very narrow. It's not a bad thing dont get me wrong. It's the reason why I entered this jam.

Clear theme gives you time for research on same-themed games, thier art and execution before jam and not while it running.

You can however broaden the theme into 'Underwater Themed Games' (dont forget to give people some examples of what types of games they can do) or something similiar because right now people more or less gravitate towards the same idea of an adventure/mini-game when they think of submarines.

As for time constrains, a week is perfectly fine.Thanks for the jam. :)

I agree that the scope can be a little narrow when dealing with just submarines. I had some thought for submarine based puzzle games, or a VN on a submarine, but I don't think I'd have gotten those done in time. Though mostly because I had work through the whole thing. Changing it to "Aquatic Jam" or something would definitely broaden the scope. It could then have a narrower theme if you wanted, like submarines. Or you could go with a genre, but it has to be aquatic. Like "Aquatic Jam: Puzzle Games"

Thank you for your feedback! I will take this into account the next time I run a jam (which will hopefully be soon)!
