Itch has it’s own age limit of 13 or older for anyone using the site, and if you’re under 18 years old you require the permission of a parent/gaurdian.
As long as you’re above their minimum age requirement, you can join the jam, but you may not be able to claim any cash prizes yourself if you’re not old enough to have your own account.(It may have to go through your parent/guardian, or you can choose a charity to send it to instead.)
I understand your concern. The Judges’ awards are decided by GDevelop Staff to avoid such manipulation. Community voting only affects the top 10 community awards. -M.
Hello romw314,
To counter these points, the game jam votes are open to everyone, not just the creators, I mean everyone!
We’ll also be communicating on two dates during the voting phase to invite people to play together.
We seen you tell 5 days ago (2024-05-26) :
“Sorry for the download requirement, the game exceeded the 1200 file limit :(”
Can you provide a gd.games link? There is no files limit on gd.games.
Otherwise the game will be disqualified.
The rules specify that the game must be:
“Games must be submitted via itch.io to be evaluated, as well as via gd.games (see videos below for instructions).
Games must be published to be played on browsers (bonus for mobile compatibility!), without requiring additional hardware.”
Hello SuperBlueYoshi, as the itch.io service interruption affected everyone, fairness remain the same for everyone.
We will not be extending the voting period.
This jam, like the previous jams, might attract some cheaters.
We check every day and remove/disqualify bad submissions.
If you find an invalid submission, please use the report button on their jam submission page to report the game to us.
