Looks like you've packed quite a bit of good stuff into the 8 page limit. Just a heads up, to qualify for the jam prizes, you need to have it set as "Free to Download" or "Pay What you Want".
Thanks! And I had thought this as well but emailed de Ropp to ask. Turns out you're only bared from charging if you use AI art.
per an email I sent to him: "You may absolutely charge if no ai is used. Just know that people judging the jam will be able to download it for free."
I'm currently rating the submissions, and am not aware of where or how to download for free.
Yeah, no one seems to be able to. It's a bummer. Maybe he meant only the judges panel could?
I'm sorry about that, I didn't think it would be an issue.
All good. These things happen.
I respect your right for payment for your work.
You have to set the project as donation based only. You can set a suggested fee but you cannot require payment to be part of the jam. I hope this helps!
