Hello!

I'm new to Jams, and was wondering if I should start work on a game now, or if I should only start once July 31st has passed. I noticed you say we can start making submissions at any time so long as the bulk of the work was for this jam, but my autistic butt wants to make sure whether that means we can start making things for this jam or if we should make sure at least 50% of what we do is between July 31st and August 31st.

You can absolutely start now!

The ultimate aim of the jam is simply to get more gender bender games out into the world, so we aren't strict about the exact percentage of work done during the official timeline. The rule is mostly there to prevent people from submitting old games they made years ago just for promotion, since that doesn't really help create new content.

Don't stress too much about hitting an exact 50% mark. Feel free to jump in and start creating whenever you're ready!

Thank you!
