Question.
When the gamejam is over how will they test / view the games we created?. They dont have a link to any of our games. to my knowledge
Will they release a new survey to fill out with the gamelink team and the same information as the first survey they posted to enter the gamejam?.

Hi! Is it possible I can still participate? I won’t be having a team but I hadn’t seen this post up until now.
I know I missed the deadline by 3 days though so it might not be possible ;(
Hi, @Christmas_Treasure! I have a couple questions.
- Are we allowed to commission people for assets to use in our games, without officially enrolling them into the group?
example: commissioning a modeler or a gfx artist to make an asset - What does the “Participation Certificate” look like? (just curious)

As stated above in the FAQ’s, it said that they’ll release a survey where teams may enter in their submissions when the time comes. Now, looking back on the event dates saying it’ll close in the 30th, I bet it’s gonna be posted a day or more before that. Futhermore, think the games will be reviewed after the 30th of December up to January 7 since it’ll be announced at 8. However, don’t rely on my preference, I’m no staff member, just sharing my understanding of the thread.

Where should we SUBMIT our game? Will it be available after 30th December as a form?
@Christmas_Treasure I was wondering the same thing! Hope you can get back to this reply!

Awesome! I didn’t even know there was a game jam until this reply popped up in my notifications. I may participate if I have the time.

I believe that the game jam is kind of 2/3 done. You were suppose to have a team by December 5th. So you can’t participate in it anymore, unless you already summited a survey before December 5th.

Regarding the submission survey, I noticed that you ask us to upload a single place file. Our game is a universe with a lobby that will teleport players to the main story instance. How should we submit? Would it be acceptable to include both place files in the zip file? Would a game link be better given studio’s limitations with regard to TeleportService? Thanks in advance.

Submitting through a file is a bit disappointing…
Our game critically relies on having enough players for an engaging and exciting experience and my entire team is worried of how it will be reviewed - I hope this can be done fairly.
Additionally, we were not informed ahead of time that we would be handing over our intellectual property.
It looks like @GrandpaScriptin is in a similar troubling situation - but with teleportation.
If games jams are done again in the future, it would be nice to know these important aspects ahead of time. Thank you and happy holidays.

Hey guys! Sorry about that, it was just a bit of miscommunication on the back end. We are switching it over to submission through links right now. Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

On my end it is still asking for a place file. Is there a new survey link? I’m clicking the one in your solution.

Does this mean we have to submit before the 30th? Can we submit on the 30th? If we have to submit before the 30th, is there a specific timezone when the applications will close?
