I'll be sure to add it to the jam description to avoid further confusion!

I host the Weekly Note Composing Jam here on Itch, and for the last six months or so, I’ve had to fill out each part of the new page manually every week. Is there some kind of template system? I’ve automated it to an extent, but it’s a very janky setup. If there isn't a system for recurring jams, I think adding one would be very helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yeah, I'm sorry about that.

I try to do it around then, but errands got in the way today. It's up now though!

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

You can create as much content as you’d like, just make sure to include everything in a single submission. It'll help prevent anyone from gaining an unfair advantage or something like accidentally placing both first and second.

I'm really sorry about  the wait. It was an error on my part. the theme is:

Stepping on a Lego

Thanks! I make other animations for the jams as well, although inconsistently because of my schedule. I'll try to do it this week.

No. You have complete and exclusive ownership of anything you make👍

I really enjoyed listening to this one👍

Very impressive! I'd be curious to know what tools you used.

Thank you so much!

Thanks to the suggestions from a few of you, the Discord server is now up and steadily growing. Everything is running smoothly.  If you have any ideas to improve the experience even further, feel free to share. I’d love to hear your thoughts!

I've got a soft spot for chip tunes. Also very interesting melody!

Very cinematic. Good job👍

Great sound design!

Waited until the last 5 minutes to do the art lol

Good idea! I can do that.

I'm back in town, and finally got around to setting up a discord server!  There are sections for feedback on songs and suggestions for themes for the next Note jam, as well as general discussion. Feel free to drop by and share your thoughts!

I'll try to get one started once I get back from out of town. Meanwhile I'll link the next one in the current jam (once I get it set up).

I'm trying out full-week submissions rather than just weekend ones. I've gotten feedback both ways, but I want everyone who wants to be able to participate. Also, you can send anything you made over the week for feedback! If some of you really liked the time limitation factor, I'll consider alternating between the two, or even making a new jam for it! Tell me what you think!

Thank you!

Sorry I submitted the theme a little late, I'm Still out of town. When I get back I'll make some art for it as well.👍

Thanks for helping give feedback! Hoping to get more people on board next jam.

Really liked the melancholy vibe👍

I liked the classical approach👍

Nice work! 

Sounds great! I loved the instrument lineup. Good sound design👍

I'm having the same problem.

You captured the theme really well! Not really anything I can critique. Great job!

Nice work! It reminded me of Minecraft a lot. I also really liked when the strings came in.

thank you!

Thank you! I wasn't sure how it would turn out due to the constraints. Yes, I was working with Famistudio (NES-style music) until early December. I've really enjoyed the creative freedom that comes with FL Studio. I've especially enjoyed using soundfonts.

I just saw the issue with the difficulty selection. Ill try to have it fixed for the next jam.

There isn't one yet. I've been looking into setting one up though.

Good advice👍

There will be a button on the main page when submissions open👍

Hey everyone! For the next game jam, I'm considering extending the submission period to a full week. Would you prefer that? If so, how long would you like the voting period to be? Also, would it matter to you if the voting period and the next submission period overlapped in order to keep it weekly? Let me know your thoughts!
