So happy this jam is 7 days instead of 48-72 hours. I feel like I can submit something with decent polish within that time constraint. More like the 7DRL.
Assuming @sylvain_l run the "Jam Player.exe" rather than "Jam Player (x86).exe", it's probably not the problem with the 32-bit/x86 version.
It seems that while sylvain_l has installed the core .NET Framework 5 libraries, there are desktop-specific libraries missing. Looking up the error message, it happens when someone has .NET Runtime 5.x installed, but without .NET Desktop Runtime 5.x.
The solution seems to be installing .NET Desktop Runtime - apparently it includes everything from the .NET Runtime 5.0.12 as well, so one still needs to download and install one package (as opposed to two).
The .NET Desktop Runtime 5.0.12 installer can be downloaded from here (x64 version) or here (x86 version).
(sylvain_l: could you please try downloading the .NET Desktop Runtime and see if it works for you?)
Is it possible to bundle .net with the jam play to avoid further issues?

nice, now it works
It's possible to create a standalone version, but then its size increases to 100-ish MBs, so I would rather not.
I think it's better to include a text file that explains what to install depending on the Jam Player version, complete with link (maybe with a telling name "Jam Player won't run.txt"). That way those who already have the framework installed will just run the Jam Player, and those who don't will find the correct link in the attached text file.

I'm still looking for a team!
I am a sound designer / composer but I can also provide some simple graphics and ideas.

My money's on Elements, though Examiner sounds likely too.
Alright, I'm in.
I'll be on a team with @Josh Chen, and maybe more to come.

Just click the link, make sure you are logged-in to YYG and you'll have a temp export license for the jam!
EDIT: Also, I and Evan agreed to move the deadline to Tuesday Dec 7th, 15:30 UTC, to compensate for the delayed theme reveal!

Longer jam this time about for the holiday season.
Yeah, this specific Jam has been made longer so that people have more time to recover after Thanksgiving and people who are busy during weekends can at least scrape some hours from the weekdays.
With that in mind, one generally shouldn't be too worried about having little time among all these seven days compared to others - the longer timeline is so that more people can find any time to participate, not to make people work on their games longer.
(...that said, I'm pretty sure *some* people will use that extra time to polish their entry even more compared to regular Jams, and that's fine too)

Got something started. Was thinking maybe a 'Titan souls' type game? Just basically 4 boss fights (for each element). Got 4 elements as abilities in there rn.
Earth - Rock attack (close-range)
Fire -fireball (long-range)
Wind - deflect (pushes small enemies / projectiles away from you)
Water - dash (skid on puddles quickly around level)
Nothing premade, so I'm pretty proud of how it looks for the amount of time I've put in! The filters/effects make work MUCH quicker!
It's a start!

You got this!! Honestly there probably wont be much in terms of "content". I'm mainly using it to practice building boss fight mechanics / combat balance and hopefully get some feedback that can help with making boss fights in the future. It will probably basically be a titan souls bootleg. Haha. Dont be deceived by the pixel art!!

Pixels is pretty much all I got. But I’m shooting for entertainment value. Short. Couple laughs. I am doing some paths and enemy AI. A stretch for me. Doing something a little different. It will end in a mess but pushing ahead to get a complete game.You got this!! Honestly there probably wont be much in terms of "content".
