The Reaper’s Game Jam is a new game jam I will be hosting. The winner will win a prize. In order for me to host this jam I need a minimal of 15 people to sign up.
Date: not decided
Prize: not decided
Theme: will be revealed at the start of the jam
Criteria: All art must be created by you and you also have to stay with one pixel size or you will be disqualified.
My joined doesn’t mean I’m officially signed up, I want to participate, but I don’t know if I have time to do so, but this does sound like a good idea.
I’m saying @00T_Free explained that you want to spend a little more time maybe explaining to people what this jam is and getting people involved. Some people aren’t active every day so you can’t expect 20 people to join in the first few minutes.
And also literally a few hours after posting this you decide to cancel it, which makes no sense, you have three people who wanted to do this.
Also you joined a few days ago and you are offering people a $15 steam game. Most people don’t have steam, but also this looks a little suspicious, cause usually newer people don’t join up and offer money related prizes. So I wouldn’t be amazed if people are hesitant to join this.
Anyway that’s not really the main point, if you decided to cancel the prize, you could have said that you ran into some financial problems or there was an error, but instead you call everyone stupid for not wanting the prize.
Also you need a little bit more patient when it comes to game jams, cause when it actually happens, you have to wait a week or whatever time you decide to go with for the participants to create the games.
