Hi everyone, wanted to give a quick update that I have requested itch.io to migrate the game jam submissions to a charity bundle. I will keep everyone updated as this progresses on this page as well as my twitter. Thank you all for your incredible support! 

Thanks for the update <3

Thanks for setting this up! You rock.

Hi folks! Another update, itch has responded and is helping transfer the submissions into a charity bundle - as of this week, itch requires charities to be onboarded into their payment system BEFORE the charity bundle can go live. I have reached out to PCRF to start this process. After they are onboarded I will send an email to everyone who submitted their games to the jam to approve the bundle. The bundle cannot go live until all participants have approved the bundle. There will be a 3 day approval period for all the participants to approve the bundle and then the charity bundle will go live (if you do not approve your submission in that amount of time, you will unfortunately need to be pruned from the bundle to help the bundle go live as close to on time as possible.) 

There will be email reminders, posts in the jam, and twitter to help folks with the approval process. 

Thank you all for your patience and support! 

Thanks for all your work on this. 

looking forward to purchasing the bundle when it comes out!

thanks for all the updates! looking forward to promoting this.

Hello all, I am having a tough time getting into contact with the charities stated in the bundle. Medical Aid for Palestine is being onboarded as a charity into itch's system as I type this update. I am thinking it makes the most sense to support MAP - Medical Aid for Palestinians (who has a very similar mission to PCRF) for the bundle. I am going to update the jam game and future correspondences with MAP. If you wish to remove your game from the bundle due to the charity switch, I completely understand, you may email me at jesthehuman@gmail.com to do so. 

I will work with itch to create the charity bundle as soon as the charity is onboarded and will be emailing you all shortly after to approve the bundle. Thank you so much for your patience as we work to get this charity bundle off the ground and into the wild to support Palestine. 

Thank you for all your work and for keeping us all updated - I definitely would not want to be blindsided by an unexpected change like that, but Medical Aid for Palestine sounds like a good organization to support and I appreciate your getting that organized.

Thanks for the update, MAP sounds great. Also, thank you for organizing all of this!

Hello all, I am still waiting to hear back from itch - their last response was on Feb 29 that they are still onboarding Medical Aid for Palestinians. I have followed up again just now (literally moments before typing this) and hope to hear back as soon as possible. 

The moment I hear back that we can move forward I will be sending out an email for the bundle approval process, tweeting about it and mentioning it in my newsletter. I do not want anyone to miss being able to approve their submission in the bundle but we will need to move incredibly swiftly due to the time the it is taking for the onboarding. 

I am so incredibly grateful for y'alls patience and generosity in supporting such a worthy cause. 

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. 

My friends, I wish I had a better update, but it has been two weeks since I asked for an update on MAP's onboarding status and I have gotten radio silence. I have reached out multiple times through multiple avenues and will continue doing so until I hear back from them. 

As a reminder, the moment I hear back that we can move forward I will be sending out an email for the bundle approval process, tweeting about it and mentioning it in my newsletter. I do not want anyone to miss being able to approve their submission in the bundle but we will need to move incredibly swiftly due to the time the it is taking for the onboarding. 

I'm so sorry this is taking so long. Thank you for your support and extreme amounts of patience. 

I recommend sharing here tweets everyone post so we can RT and QRT each other.
