been trying to figure this, and have made a retro - jam, and it looks like the jams need to be ' approved ', and not sure how that works . . .

RETRO INDIE JAM # 001 // PS1 - PS2 VINTAGE SERVER - itch.io

it's also for a retro - school, or a server where the goal is to teach PS1 - PS2 quality, and also retro - effects, or various shaders, or style . . .

not sure there's anything have to do, or perhaps in case a server isn't approved if one gets a message, and then could update the jam as to make sure it was approved, or then what one should do . . .

#thx, and also this is the first jam have ever hosted, and goal is to make two jams, and that's 1 month, and then 3 months duration, and not sure that's cool with the server, or at all what could be doing wrong, or any advice . . .

also made a cool ' logo ' for the jam, and rather hope to have the server approved, and not sure any advice, or criticism . . .


anyway, and what asking for is bit information, or how the ' approval ' process works, and if one gets a letter, or anything to make sure it is allowed, or that it also follows the rules, and have no idea if doing anything wrong, or have not correctly made the page, and have set the page to also ' public ' . . .

it's just a retro - indie jam, and also really look forward to making a retro - school, and that's all . . .

have been looking around the internet, and not sure one has to also have a queue, or not sure what settings to get a jam approved, and not sure anyone could let me know what settings, or is required to get a jam approved, and the internet looks to be bit ' conflicted ', or then the answers don't make sense . . .

are there any specific rules, or that one has to make the jam ' public ', and that's all, or not sure . . .

#thx, and it's my first jam, and also rather excited to host something . . .

You need to check "Published" and uncheck "Unlisted".

Before it appears on the jam calendar, an itch.io staff member has to approve it. It could take anything from a few minutes to a week or so before they get to it, depending on how busy the itch.io staff is at the moment.

#thx Mr. Beregon, and think also googled it, and there was an ' admin ' that had replied any jam that's more than 1 month is sometimes not approved, and because it takes too much space on the jam - page, or it's not the best for the jam - list . . .

not sure what's happened, and atm these are my settings . . .

- published == checked

- not listed == unchecked

however, and the jam is 32 days, and also has 8 day voting, and not sure total of 40 days it doesn't appear on the list of jams, or then if it has been approved, or perhaps it's not a ' legal ' jam, or more have done something wrong, or etc etc . . .
