Hello all! I'm crossposting this announcement (a little late) from our Discord server, which has a permanent havoc engine design channel. If you'd like to join the server, you're very welcome: https://discord.gg/8HrpaNfU3y
Thank you all for joining the jam! It's been a sincere joy. If you just missed the deadline but would still like to submit something, just send a link to it on itch.io to me in the next couple of days (by commenting here, or emailing admin@rowanrookanddecard.com). Small and partially complete entries are welcome.
We now enter the voting phase! Voting is limited to people who submitted to the jam (plus Grant, me and Chant) to avoid it becoming a popularity contest - we trust you to rate each others' games fairly and kindly. Everyone who submitted has 14 days to rate stuff, and then we'll pick out some winners who will receive a larger allotment of glory, and possibly some kind of mysterious prize.
This is essentially an excuse to spend some time celebrating, reading and talking about what people have made, so if you (like me) didn't finish something but would still like to read some cool games, you can leave your nice thoughts as comments on game pages or in the havoc jam channels in the discord to give someone a lovely surprise. (With comments please ask before giving constructive criticism - this goes by standard 'people made this thing for free on the internet' rules.)
P.S. Some lovely people in the discord have been running playtesting sessions twice a week over the jam, and are tentatively planning to keep a Tuesday night call going for anyone interested in playing each others' Havoc Engine games. There's also some interest in a Saturday and/or GMT-timezone-friendly games night. If you're interested, do hop in the Discord and head to the #havoc-engine-design channel: https://discord.gg/8HrpaNfU3y
Phew. That's all for now. Thanks for reading!
- Jim
