Viewing post in Update My Game Post Submission-Deadline?

That would not be allowed. In some cases, an entrant may be allowed to update to fix a game breaking bug that prevents players from playing or finishing the game, but not for any other reason.

Okay, no Update then. :) I suppose once the Jam-Evaluation is over, I would be free to make Updates again, just not during the Evaluation-Month, right? :) In which Case I can just wait with that.

Oh definitely. You can do whatever you want after evaluation. The jam has no power over the game at all after that.

Okay, thanks. :) Maybe I should mention that, just to avoid any Confusion, that within the first 24 Hours after I had initially uploaded my Game, I fixed it (in Part to avoid a game-breaking Bug), but that was still many Hours before End of the Submission-Deadline, which I assume would be allowed. I just wanted to clarify that my Question here about another small Fix after the Deadline (which I won't upload during this Month) has nothing to do with what I fixed before the Deadline -- just to avoid Confusion.

You can update all you want before the submission deadline. I know you didn't update after the submission deadline because you literally can't unless you remove it from the jam. Itch won't allow you to unless I temporarily remove the upload lock.

Oh, that's good to know -- I'm new to the itch.io Jamming Business, so thank you for this Explanation! :)
