Hey! I know we talked about it on stream already but in case anyone else with this question sees this:

Yes it is okay to submit a GLJ game that's also in other jams! As long as it was made for *at least* this jam :)

Haha yes the original is SO difficult! They really do just toss you in there without any clear sense of progression.

I was so mad that any progress made since the last inn save gets lost on death too. It is definitely "NES hard".  I do kind of find it motivating to think about how much less angering I can make my version now though.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Froko 🤗 The visual design in this game was just such a joy.

Now I know I'm incredibly late... but I would love to give you your prize for winning an Artistry honorable mention in the jam!

Thanks for joining our jam!!

Aw thank you Henry!! I really appreciate that 🤗

Yes of course! Use this link and you'll be all good :D /jam/418772/add-game/5082182/7763968?token=mz3m32uDKQNCaPLwoWPvPj...

Very good creepy tone set here. Genuinely I felt scared playing it! The camera angles convey "being watched" really well. It took me a while to spot the stranger with the cigarette but it was very rewarding when I did. I like the text appearing with the character to tell us what's happening although it was hard to read sometimes if not near the camera. Overall nice point and click movement set up here, I managed to escape and enjoyed exploring!

Wow!! There's so much to do here! I actually love the artstyle, this whole thing is giving such a 90's throwback. I got got by the bear but I'll keep trying. I'm really impressed and it plays like a great, true point and click adventure. Nice music choices too 😁

Very interesting game ideas here, though I couldn't beat any of the levels I don't think 😅. I quite like the monster chasing, and that we can knock him out!! Also turning into a flower pot is hilarious. 

Oh god, Scribble girl is terrifying! She got me good in the meat room. I love how big the house is and how much character your artstyle has. The Resident Evil-style cameras set the tone really well. I'd be super curious to see how some of the interactivity would turn out, because this is a fun game world and concept 🤗

Excited to see what you came up with!

If you manage to get a web build added, let me know and I can send you a late-submission link 😁😁

Best I could do is 5! Is 6 even possible xD -- Love the physics and water trails.

Requalified!

Yes you're good!!!

Hello! I have to temporarily disqualify this since it contains the word "Mine" in the title.

Neither "Mine" nor "craft" or any play-on-words of the theme game name are allowed to be in any game submission title!

Per rule 2

As soon as you change the name I will requalify it!!

Hello! I had to temporarily disqualify your game due to the use of "craft" in the game's name, per rule 2:

As soon as you change the title so it doesn't include "mine", "craft", or any play off of the title of Minecraft, I will requalify this!

BTW if you could reply to this when the title is changed, that would help me out a lot! 

Oh yeah that's a good question. Totally fine as long as there is a web build version! 

Hey, I'm so sorry for this delayed response!! This is a good question.

I would be happy to still make a Community Post of extra entries like yours, and promote/mention it where possible. 

So do submit your game! And although it would be disqualified, you'll still be allowed to rank other entries and leave comments that link to your own submission.

I ran a test from an account with a disqualified submission -- the disqualified game still showed up as a link when commenting on an existing submission's ratings page, which is also a great way to foster mutual feedback during the ratings period.

So "Disqualified" just means it doesn't appear in the final submissions list, and it can't be rated. No other penalties. But I'll also make a Community Post like the ones below and shout you out on stream and stuff so players know how to find your game.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you're working on 🤗

Nice!

Sure, you can literally submit whatever you want if it follows whatever is in the Rules section of the jam page.

What I can't guarantee is if the voters (all the other submitters) will agree that it's "Minecraft-like" -- but that's not disqualifying. 

Sounds like an interesting submission btw, I'm looking forward to trying it!

Updated link has been sent out! Enjoy your freebie 🤗

Hey just want let you all know that I am waiting to hear back from the sponsor about getting an updated asset pack download link! 

It seems the link that was sent in the first email was for a single-use key, which has now been redeemed by a lucky individual. But if I hear back from the sponsor soon I'll have a working link out by Thursday at the earliest! (Itch only lets me send 1 email every 24 hours).

Sorry for the delay on this -- we'll get you that free asset pack shortly 🤗! Check back here for updates.

Correct!

Whenever I've allowed non-original game music to play during streams in the past (such as CC0/owned assets), some of the tracks end up getting content claimed on YouTube. Since there's no way to guarantee whether someone's track will set this off, this rule was implemented.

Checked this out in a game feedback stream! https://youtube.com/live/I116iA0O5Ds

Did this ever have a web version?? I have to disqualify it if it doesnt...

No problem! Head here if you want to see it played during the free "Game Feedback" portion of the Monday Member stream, but you'll have to join the free Patreon tier for access. https://hypergame.dev

Had a lot of fun, thank you for sharing your work in the jam.

OK scratch my last message, I managed to cut it down to just a few hundred shy of the new limit!

Thank you for your patience, and again for bumping it up in the first place. Love the new theme features, saved me a bit of css in fact.

Best,

~Lýz

Hi again,

Have you thought any more about bumping the limit up to 32k or so?

Not at all, here's the last one (voting period): /jam/gamelike-jam-009
And current: /jam/gamelike-jam-010

The navbar at the bottom takes up a good amount of CSS too!

No problem, I really appreciate the quick turnaround!

I've stripped whitespace, comments, and a couple redundancies but am still sitting around 30kb. I hate to push, but would 32kb be an acceptable cap?

It's mostly overrides that reposition and restyle the countdown, header tabs, submit/join panels, and stat blocks. It's turned into a delicate balancing act to keep everything together on both desktop and mobile. I can squeeze it smaller by fully minifying, but that makes the responsive tuning pretty brittle to maintain.

Our pages look good, thanks for approaching this with care!

The only concern I have is the 5120 character limit, which was previously uncapped for jam pages. I know this is now consistent with profile and project pages, but I imagine that change will break many more jam templates than other changes this update has made! 

Hosts may not even realize they're over that limit until they try making an update, and their now "squatted" character count will be revealed as a violation...

Is there a chance that your team would be willing (or able) to uncap the CSS character limit for jam pages? 

Otherwise, I know I have a lot of unexpected cleanup and consolidation/style-sacrifice work to do... 

Wooo!

Here's the post!

Will try to mention it in different places too
