Hello,

You joined BASIC Jams #1, #3, #5 and #6. You are very passionate. Good. The next BASIC Jam may be hosted in Dec in this year!

I look forward to your game in the next game jam!

Hello...long time no see. I remember that you liked to use Small Basic. The author of LitDev extension also has an Itch webpage now: https://litdev-uk.itch.io/

In my opinion, LitDev extension is cool and very nice!

Sorry for my late comment. This game is very, very interesting. I really like this game. NaaLaa looks excellent. I look forward to all new games released by you!!

The graphics are so nice.

This is an excellent game. No doubt. Good job.

Hello, 
This is a nice game with a good idea!

I like the gameplay of this game. If better graphics are used in the game, the game will be quite cool.

It was fun to play all the games and review them. <---- Sure. On the other hand, you are a very competent reviewer. In my opinion, game developers appreciate objective expert reviews because these reviews can help them identify and fix problems within their games.

What a variety of submissions! <---- I agree with you.

I love to see the unique creative slant of each author's submitted game <---- BASIC is a suitable programming language for creating creative games.

Congrats and kudos to all the participants, well done! <---- Yeah, good job.

Hello!!!!!!!

Dear Itch Members,

I am writing this post to invite all of you to vote and comment on the submitted entries of Jam for All BASIC Dialects (#6):

https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-6/entries

The voting period is in progress now and it will end about 3 days later.

In fact, you are able to help. If you have played an entry, you objectively rate the entry. If you have time to write a comment on the entry, it will be very helpful to the developer of the entry. Doing these two things will motivate or inspire the developer. They may also help the developer to make right decisions on the next project. The game development techniques of the developer may be improved as well.  I sincerely encourage all of you to vote and comment. Your participation will really make the Jam great.

Thanks for voting and commenting! Thanks for reading!

Yours Sincerely

Hello! I am sorry because this post should have been posted several days ago. ( I have been very busy for the last couple of days. )

The voting period is in progress now. It is a 7-day period and will end about  4 days later. Entrants are prevented from adding new files to their submissions during the voting period. After the jam is completely over, uploads are unlocked.

Actually, everyone can help. If you have played an entry, you objectively rate the entry. If you have time to write a comment on the entry, it will be very helpful to the entrant. Doing these two things will motivate or inspire the entrant. They may also help the entrant to make the right decisions on the next project. The game development techniques of the entrant may be improved as well.  The voting is open to all Itch members. I sincerely encourage Itch members to vote. Your participation will really make the jam great.

Thanks for voting! Thanks for reading!

Thanks for explaining. 

Thanks for joining the jam. I saw the description "GFA Basic 32 also called GB32" on your game's page. It seems that the language is nice. Then I added "GFA-BASIC 32 for Windows" to this page: https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-6

Hi!

 I hope to do better next time. <--- The next BASIC Jam will be in Dec.(If I have time)

It needs polishing but better than nothing <--- I agree.

Next time I hope to submit something (even if not refined) instead of nothing; lesson learned. <--- Good luck.

In the meantime until then, I hope and expect that my programming skills will only continue to improve through continued practice over time, <--- No  doubt.

and upload it as an entry, well done and I am inspired and motivated by your success! <--- Hey, you are very, very welcome to rate and write  comments on these 5 entries. Doing these two things may help these entrants to make good decisions on the next projects. Sure.

Hello,

In my view, participation is more important than winning. We learn new things and develop various skills after taking up challenge.

Hello!!!

Sorry for this very late reply.  My family member was seriously ill yesterday and I was required to stay in a hospital with her for about 10 hours.

I'm close but not complete. <--- Thanks for participating in this jam!

I don't suppose a 24 hour extension to the submission deadline could be granted. <--- Yes, extension to the submission deadline was not an option.  

If not that's totally ok.  <--- I hope that you don't mind.

Thanks for hosting this game jam in any case. <--- Don't need to say thanks. Don't forget to join the next BASIC Jam.

Hi,

Time flies. Final 60 hours. The submission period will end soon and we will be able to play entertaining games from entrants soon!

Grasp your time and you are almost there! Yeah!

Hi!!

The 6th BASIC Jam will end 10 days later.

Let's vote and comment. Yeah! Welcome!!!!!

This

Hello!

A part of the challenge lies in how the entrant "interprets" each theme. (All jams are the same.)  It is up to the entrant to decide how each theme is interpreted. The voters will rate an entry by thinking carefully whether the interpretation of the entrant for the theme of the entry is good or not. (One ranking criterion is:  "Interpretation of Theme and Completeness of Game".)

Hello, each participant can submit more than one entry.

Hello,

"I am looking forward to participating!" <-- Really good!

"I have been gaining more experience and familiarity with the development tools I am using since the last game jam" <-- Well done. Sure!

"Thanks for again hosting this event!" <-- Ha, don't need to say 'Thanks'. Good luck to you and I look forward to the entry created by you. 

Thank you. I really did not know. 

Will the management team of Itch finally add Pygame to the webpage "Most used Engines" ? Thanks again.

Hello,

Pygame cannot be found here:
https://itch.io/game-development/engines/most-projects

In fact, a large number of games were made with Pygame on Itch.

https://itch.io/games/tag-pygame

I hope that the management team of Itch will add Pygame to the engine list. Thanks a lot! Thank you very much!!!!!

Hello, this game looks nice. I hope that this game will be very successful at last. Yeah. I have a question. Are you also making this game in Small Basic?

Hi,

 I see. I hope that you will change your mind in July. Your entries in the previous BASIC Jams are so impressive. Yeah!

Hello! Long time no see. You are still active in game development. Good job.

I used the Itch system to send an email about BASIC Jam(#6) to you. I don't know whether you have received this email. This jam will be held in Jul. If you have time, you are very welcome to join the jam! I look forward to your nice entry. Sure. This jam: link

Hello.....my suggestion....."Save a jam as a template" and "Load a template as a jam".

Many Itch members like to make series of jams( I meant: Jam #1, Jam #2, Jam #3, etc. ) 

Forexample: I published Jam for All BASIC Dialects (#1) to Jam for All BASIC Dialects (#6)   
( https://rcbasicfans.itch.io/ )

If the two features are added to Itch jam system, jam organizers(like me) will be able to make series of jams conveniently.( only do slight modifications on templates. Sure!)

I hope that the management team of Itch will consider this suggestion very closely. Thank you very much! Thanks again!!!!!!

Hello! Long time no see.  How are you? BASIC Jam(#6) will be held in Jul. If you have time, you are very welcome to join the jam! I look forward to your nice entry. Sure. This jam: link

Hi.....I published a new game jam(Jam for All BASIC Dialects(#6)) about two weeks ago. I captured the analytics page:

https://ibb.co/CbyCrYs

The information provided by this analytics page is so useful. No doubt. Only top 20 URLs are shown on the analytics page. Some jams are very popular(not my game jam) and showing 20 URLs is not enough for a popular game jam. In my opinion, 40 URLs to 50 URLs are more suitable for popular game jams.

Hi,

This jam will be an entertaining game jam. You are welcome!

Hello! Thanks for your opinions. You are so welcome to join this jam. On the other hand, you are very welcome to rate entries or write comments on them as well. Yeah!

Hi.....QBJS is very nice and convincing. Sure. I have added the link to the following webpage. I really hope that many BASIC hobbyists will be able to discover QBJS easily. Yeah.

Bye. ( https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-6 )

Hi! It is a fun game jam. No doubt!

https://itch.io/jam/jam-for-all-basic-dialects-6

Why may the jam be suitable for you? 

1.  Creating a game in BASIC dialect is entertaining!

2.  There are several themes for entrants to select. Not only one theme.

3.  It is a one-month jam. Therefore, entrants will have enough time to make their entries as perfect as possible.

Hello! Thanks for considering this idea. In my opinion, cool and colorful Itch page can easily make good first impressions on visitors. Sure.

Good luck!

Hi!

You can create your own levels using the editor <--- It is a very good tool.

Raylib is a really nice library making 2D and 3D game development easy.  <--- I see. So good! I am quite curious. I have one more question. May SmallBASIC have a webpage  on Itch in the future? The official website of SmallBASIC is so nice: https://smallbasic.github.io/. The official website is really nice because it provides detailed information of SmallBASIC, On the other hand, Itch is a social media where youths and teenagers like to visit. If an itch webpage is created for SmallBASIC, many young visitors may become users of SmallBASIC after visiting the Itch webpage of SmallBASIC. Yeah. In fact, creating an Itch webpage of SmallBASC by you is convincing because you made two excellent SmallBASIC games. Anyway, I am only curious.

Hello, I downloaded and played the game. This puzzle game is high-quality and interesting. The gameplay is challenging. Sure. The graphics are really nice. I like the graphics. May I ask a question? How many levels are in the game?

By the way, Raylib looks like a very nice tool and SmallBASIC looks versatile. I look forward to new games from you. Yeah.

Hello...

I discovered an interesting discussion about QBJS.  Maybe you will be interested. Here:

https://rcbasic.freeforums.net/thread/823/rc-qb-comparison-on-www

Good! I look forward to your nice entry.

Well done...yeah!

Hi! Thanks for joining the jam. I have played the game. The sound effects, the background music and the graphics are so good. Sure. The game is a nice attempt.

Hello...if I have time, BASIC Jam (#6) will be hosted in May, June or July in this year.
