Amazing. Thank you leafo!

Hi there,

A user submitted Skal to Game Off and it received a few ratings and reviews. Unfortunately, they accidentally removed the submission from the jam. On adding it back it again, the ratings were recovered but all of the reviews were lost. Is it possible to recover those reviews? If not, please LMK and I can create an issue

Cheers,
  Lee 

Hi there,

I don't have any email in my inbox containing your username or the URL https://meoowe.itch.io/clicky-cat. Can you drop your email address here or try emailing me again?

Nobody's judging the jam code so you're welcome to update the repo. We can always use Git to go back in time if we need to :)

Hi there - yes, I think that's in the spirit in the Game Off. I would recommend leaving a note on the itch.io page mentioning that the Windows build was uploaded after the deadline.

It happens every year. A few folks miss the deadline by a few minutes–or even hours–due to Internet issues, oversleeping, not hearing an alarm clock, alien abduction, etc.

If this sounds like you, please shoot me an email at lee@github.com with (1) "Game Off" somewhere in the subject line, and (2) a link to your game on itch.io; I'll generate and share a link where you can submit.

Note: I'll be MIA from about 2-3:30pm PT so my replies will be a little delayed.

Thanks and good luck!

Hi there,

Yes - all contributors will be able to vote on games. Thank you!

The use of AI is allowed ✓

Hi - yes, teams are allowed. There's a Discord server here. I'll update the front page to mention this.

Cheers,

Or even better... Just Jumping into JavaScript?

Ha ha ha - updated! 😆 (And thank you)

That is all.

Just a note that I've replied to all emails sent before this timestamp. If you didn't get an email from me, I didn't receive your email.

Cheers,
  Lee

I think that's fine ✓ 

I can confirm that your game was submitted correctly 👨🏻‍⚕️

Cheers,
  Lee

💩 happens.  If you run into any last-minute snags submitting your game just email me (lee@github.com) the URL of your game and I'll generate a link for you to submit it.

Cheers,
  Lee

You might find something useful on https://free-game-assets.itch.io/free-fishing-pixel-art-pack or  https://opengameart.org/content/fish-pack-0 🤞🏻

Absolutely 👍🏻

Amazing and too good not to share! https://twitter.com/github/status/1589003109082304514

Absolutely! We've had at least one NES and a Gameboy game submitted in the past. You can make a cliche your game title, an object in the game, or whatever you want - tthere are some great ideas / discussions on the Discord server if you're still looking for ideas.

I for one welcome our new AI overlords. Yes this is allowed ✓ ( I'd also love to read about it if you post details in a DevLog / README 🙂)

A demo of an existing game? Or a demo of some tech / gameplay you've created for Game Off? Assuming the latter, I think that's fine.

There is! https://discord.gg/4hAr7sa

Reviews for this one could be.... ruff.

I noticed a few people are already starting to stream. Please consider dropping your links in here so we can follow along / live vicariously through you! <3

That's perfectly fine.

GitHub and itch.io users must be 13 years or older. The source must be shared in a GitHub repository but it doesn't have to be "open source" in that you can license it however you wish.

Of course. That could be fun if it was gamified. Maybe a game jam theme generator :)

Yeah, but if you have secrets (assuming you're talking about passwords / other credentials) you can leave them blank in the code/config files and maybe just leave a note in the README file. Ideally, people will be able to take entries and build them themselves.

It's probably overkill for a game jam, but GitHub has concept of secrets that you can tie to a repository depending on how you decide to build/deploy your game. My guess is that you can skip it for this though.

No - interpret it however you like. Game tropes and mechanics are great examples 👍🏻

Absolutely!

I would recommend just the Unity project :)

What time + date does your system clock give you and what timezone are you in? Strange...

Hi there - great questions!

On the submission page, there'll be a link to enter your GitHub repository URL. Nobody will be disqualified for anything like that. Myself and a lot of others can help if you run into problems 👍🏻

Classic off-by- ̶o̶n̶e̶-twenty-nine error.

That is acceptable 🙂

Yeah. They should have an option to export the projects so you can share the in a GitHub repository.

Yes you may.

That's fine - only share the assets that you're permitted to. I'd recommend making that clear in the repository's README. It'd be great if there were placeholders assets there in their place.

I think that's fine - as long as you export and share it in a GitHub repository. We once had someone submit a game in a PowerPoint file! 🤯
