Sounds to me like only audio is allowed to be pre-made:What is the deal with the graphic assets, are premade assets allowed if we have the license for them / or own them, as is the case with audio? Or game + graphic assets must be unique?
I ran into this as well. I basically just had to sign out of my session within GMS "File > Log Out". Then sign back in, just close and re-open GMS, and it will ask for your credentials again. Then check for the HTML5 option after.About the HTML5 license, is there anything I should do to activate it?
Because I just checked the Studio, my target manager contains only PC and Android export, but it doesn't have HTML5 (although I checked my license portal on Yoyo website, there's a license for HTML5)
Should I reinstall the program to activate it?
Under the Products / Licenses of my YoYo Games profile, it saysHow long will the HTML5 Module be free to use for the jam? ("for the duration of the game jam")
Until submission to the jam ends?
Until the final 4 games are picked?
Until a winner is announced?

From the projects I have seen on there it seems like some folks are updating their entries over time. But, it might be that they upload to their account / profile, then submit it to the contest with a certain build? I'm getting ready to submit mine within the next hour. Just took a bunch of screenshots, and play tested a bunch in my web browser, trying to find any remaining bugs.If I submit my game right now in the game jam, can I continue working on it up until the deadline or is the version that exists when I hit submit game the final version?
I'm sure this is on GameJolt's site somewhere but I couldn't find it.
Is this how the game is? Some weird graphical glitches were happening.SUBMITTED! With just under 4 hours to go... That was a LONG night for me to get this done, but I'm really pleased with the results!
Not surprising, HTML5 is barely useable.Is this how the game is? Some weird graphical glitches were happening.
Go here: https://gamejolt.com/fireside/uqvhywhxapqWell, unfortunately, I underestimated the ease of uploading a game to gamejolt. I had 10 minutes of fumbling about, trying to get it on there, but I didn't make it in time, and I'm still not even sure why my game isn't able to be published. I'm pretty sad.
Same issue. It took me 15 minutes to figure out that "publishing a release" is not the same as "publishing a game". I read the thing that said "make sure your game is published", but I thought that publishing a release would do it, and I didn't even manage to find out that there is a separate "publish game" button until it was too late.Well, unfortunately, I underestimated the ease of uploading a game to gamejolt.

Yes, I've got the same issue. My HTML5 game sometimes shows 1px lines and (only on Game Jolt) also sometimes fails to respond AT ALL to any input (keyboard/mouse). I'm curious to know whether other people also have this issue?Not surprising, HTML5 is barely useable.
On that note, I juuuust scraped in on time...Bizarre bugs abound, I didn't quite get everything I wanted in and I'm sure it will crash for more than a few people, but it's done. And it works fine on Windows! If anyone wants to check it out: Wifinite Space
Ok I got my game published, but now I missed the window for that link (chat) too. I was just about to send a message and then it all went away and said the fireside fire had burned out... so I guess I'm screwed.Go here: https://gamejolt.com/fireside/uqvhywhxapq
And message them about it, maybe they'll let you slide it in =)
Thanks! I emailed them.@Micah_DS @CrunchCaptain and others who didn't submit on time:
In the fireside chat, the official Game Jolt account said roughly "Email us at [email protected] if your game was not submitted on time, we will check the timestamp and may manually add entries if they follow all the other rules."
I would also like to know this. Got a bug to fix as well but certainly don't want to break the rulesI have the typical question just after submit my entry can I add small edits to my game? I had small bug that I want to fix, but I dont know if this is allowed... in the last gamejam they allowed to do it, what about this one?
ARRRGH. DAMMIT. That's what happens when you upload a game after 24hours with no sleep or food... I made the ONE MISTAKE that I tell everyone to do for HTML5. I forgot to clear the cache before uploading. I have re-uploaded the game with a cleared cache and it appears to be working fine now. I hope YYG don't mind, and I've left the broken version up too. If anyone played, PLEASE test it again and let me know if it's okay now! It seems to be, but I have no faith in my own eyes at this point so some external verification would be great!!!!Is this how the game is? Some weird graphical glitches were happening.
I wanna know if there's a response to that, since I got something to fix as well.I would also like to know this. Got a bug to fix as well but certainly don't want to break the rules
This 100%! If my game was that 4th game after the vote I would be INCREDIBLY angry, annoyed, disappointed, and sad... Not to mention frustrated! I honestly think that having that fourth place with no prize is kinda humiliating for whoever gets it and would really recommend that it's changed to a top 10 for public vote or a top 3... Top 4 seems just cruel! It'd be real kick in the for any dev that came fourth...By the way, YoYo is going to pick a TOP-4 and then we have public voting?
Given that only games at place 1, 2 and 3 will get a price, this seems to me a bit mean? Because it would mean that exactly 1 game would get nothing. Better change that number 4 to either 3 or something larger than 4...
I don't agree at all. Fourth means you came fourth out of 900. Many jams don't have any prizes at all except where you rank. But if every one is really sad about it then I volunteer. Just pick me as fourthBy the way, YoYo is going to pick a TOP-4 and then we have public voting?

I agree. Fourth would be an achievement in itself and you know, that's life there will be set backs you just have to keep on goingI don't agree at all. Fourth means you came fourth out of 900. Many jams don't have any prizes at all except where you rank. But if every one is really sad about it then I volunteer. Just pick me as fourth
I was saying this to someone today, 4th place would be a rollercoaster! You'd get announced as the top 4, you're within a hair's breadth of a prize, get your hopes up and then wait another agonising week to then get nothingThis 100%!

In fact, you can preview my prototype made in 4-5 hours here https://gamejolt.com/games/aroundworldgx/639902 . Sadly, parenting didn't allowed me to work more on this game later.My game was too boring and deadline was too close, to upload it in any form...
The number one reason I duck out of most jams and am becoming cautious to even announce taking part, haha.In fact, you can preview my prototype made in 4-5 hours here https://gamejolt.com/games/aroundworldgx/639902 . Sadly, parenting didn't allowed me to work more on this game later.
People are going to be angry about your top 100, specially considering that some of the entrys dont follow the requiriments for the jam, would have been a lot better to just give the top 4 and let the rest of the developers believe that they could have been close to the top 4... now you have 800+ that are dissapointed to not even making it to the top 100... and you have some of those 100 developers getting their games attacked because they got selected in this group without even meeting the jam's rules...We're getting close to the public voting on the finalists of the Opera GX Game Jam. For now. Looks like there is a list of 100 favorites from the judges https://gamejolt.com/p/hey-jammers-we-are-getting-close-to-our-finalist-voting-however-nches7g4
I'll say now (cause Game Jolt is a bit fired up) please remember that we had over 900 games and had a small team of judges to review them. I think the quality overall was incredible and even in all 900 I struggled to find 'bad' games. Everyone should be proud of this one!
