Hey @meburningslime - I’m sure me (or someone) can help, but make a new thread for that please

Good Luck to all contesters - though i hope i win, im thirteen and spending everyday and all day (partly in school thanks to chromebooks required in classes) on this. Hope I win. And If i don’t - I hope someone who put equal effort into this wins!

I’ve been too busy/sick to work on my game lately, so I’ll probably forfeit. But I’m excited to see other submissions, especially ones with a good story!

grazer · January 18, 2020, 1:40am

There are still a few days left @Luminous - and I hope you’re feeling better

Well, looks like I overshot just a bit. I don’t know why I thought I could complete a game like this in less than a month, but, there’s always next year! Right?
So, I throw in the towel, but that doesn’t mean I’m not working on the game! It just won’t be a submission for Flowjam, since its completion won’t be seen for a while. Good luck to all other contestors! May the dark/light be with you!
(Get it cause the theme’s dark and light, contrast and stuff… Nevermind)

meburningslime · January 18, 2020, 4:10pm

I am just wasting my whole life on making my game. I wont forfiet lol

gamerztrio · January 19, 2020, 10:27am

Hey, do you guys, know Brackey? He did one which theme was darkness and light, too!

Battery · January 20, 2020, 1:33am

@grazer When will you be able to submit your game?

grazer · January 20, 2020, 3:21am

@Battery - I just updated the site. Submissions are open now

Also, anyone who submits a game will be able to vote on the winner, and voting is live as well (once some games get submitted, anyway).

You can still continue to work on your game once it’s submitted, up until Tuesday night.

Hey, @grazer! Now, I hate to do this, since it’s not really related, but, it’s still important. I’ve created a survey/contest as well, and it’s actually really important for the sake of my games. But, we’ve only had two submissions so far, each by the same person. I only have a few ideas as of how, but I’d really like it if you could help me spread the word, and get more people to willingly take the survey. It’s pretty important for ViperTeck. Still got three or so years, but the sooner we can get results, the sooner we can be prepared for the future.
Here’s the survey: https://forms.gle/2vL6sNEPLsUktrHo9

gamerztrio · January 20, 2020, 7:44am

Does it have to be or feel finished? Cause I didn’t have that much time for it because of life.

grazer · January 20, 2020, 1:51pm

Hey @gamerztrio - there is no rule that it has to feel finished

Also, you still have today and tomorrow to work on it if you want.

meburningslime · January 20, 2020, 6:31pm

@Grazer do u get extra points if it is

grazer · January 20, 2020, 7:12pm

@meburningslime - there are no “points”, anyone who submits a game can vote on the winner.

bmarzi4 · January 20, 2020, 7:17pm

@grazer it’s saying I have no games to submit… not sure if you’re aware of this issue.

browngr · January 20, 2020, 7:49pm

sigh

grazer · January 20, 2020, 7:56pm

@bmarzi4 & @browngr - this was just reported in Discord. It should be resolved now if you want to try again. Thanks for reporting it!

bmarzi4 · January 20, 2020, 8:19pm

All good now, thanks.

browngr · January 20, 2020, 8:30pm

Oh, @grazer I was sighing because of my comment. It’s kind of important, which is why after a wait, it seemed kind of ignored. So, I’ll just copy it over here:
