Requalified it then.

The deadline was a week ago, I'm sorry but that's way too late to do anything about it.

Join the #wavedash channel on our Discord server and the Wavedash folks will help you.

Yup, what Rythim Man wrote. Beside, updating the games during voting is locked, so if you'd remove the zip to upload a new one you wouldn't be able to and your entry's page would be left without anything playable.

You can't directly choose a single "primary" entry to display on your personal profile's "submitted" list. Both games will appear on the jam's submission page and on your personal profile's submissions tab though.

That's the name of the game you've submitted, and yes, it can be changed - edit the "Title" field.

Yeah we talked on Discord and it's back, sorry about the false positive :)

I'm afraid uploads are locked during voting, but the game can be played just fine when going full screen, at least it worked for me this way.

Pasting a link to it here would definitely help.

This have to be playable on Itch to qualify.

You should make it playable on Itch.

You should make it playable on Itch.

No worries, if you submitted via Itch with the "Wavedash" checkbox and sent the game to Wavedash you should be all good.

Which game is yours?

Your entry will be judged on Itch, so if you can upload a working build that would really help - ping me on Discord (@end3rEnclave) and I'll help you fix it.

Only if you had issues submitting, and not because you gave yourself extra few hours.

No, it hasn't changed since the very beginning in 2020: new uploads are locked during voting, but you can edit the description of your entry.

Well, all the games will be voted on during the judging period, so if the game is bad it will end up low in the rankings anyway, so why limit the use of something that is only a tool? Some folks will surely make a good use of it, while some others don't and that's normal, especially with new tools.

Do you mean criteria? They are listed on the website and on the Itch page as well:

Games will be voted on based on a given criteria: Innovation, Theme, Gameplay, Graphics, and Audio. The Overall ranking will be based on the summary of those.

If you're asking about the jam rules, then any type of AI (bot) is allowed.

As to which one would be better - kind of depends on the type of game you are building.

You can use existing engines, libraries, or any other tools - doesn't matter if Phaser, LittleJS, or React, all are ok. New content means you don't publish your old game made months ago for another jam.

Then you could've updated that post.

You already posted a thread here, no need for more of the same.

Yes, as long as you follow this competition's rules (theme, deadline) you are good to participate in any other jams as well.

Ye, that's totally fine.

No, you are free to participate from anywhere in the world.

Yes, you are free to use AI in any way you want, as long as you don't break any laws or licensing agreements, assets from the Internet are also fine on the same terms.

Hey, we didn't have any participation certificates in the past, but this question was raised a few times recently, so I'll look into it, thanks for asking.

Are you a student by any chance? Do you have any specific expectations from such certificate?

Check out the #teams channel in our Discord (if you haven't already) as some folks were posting their info there.
