Gamejam Descriptions missing

LadyLexUK 10 February 2023 10:46

The description and rules of the Gamejam are only visible when the jam is open for entries. When the gamejam is in the voting stage we no longer have access to the description of the jam, or the rules - and yet we are expected to be able to work out if an entry is relevant to the jam. We need the description and rules for the jam visible to help with the voting decisions - especially for jams with rules that are not reflected in the jam name.

This would make sense to be seen on the judging page. I don't think they ever have actual "rules" per se; they have a little blurb hinting at what you *could* do, but you can do whatever you like with the theme as just a simple prompt. So really the theme title is the main thing, which I think you can still see somewhere. So that's something, at least :D

The gamejam has a description. I think people would like to see it when voting. And often the title is not enough to have any clue what the gamejam is about.

Edited
Honestly, the whole thing needs to be reworked. Some people using the jams to push their 1+ year old creations back into the spotlight to farm more likes by doing slight edits to fit the theme. It's less of a jam and more of an excuse for free promotion at this point. Worrying about the description is pretty minor in comparison.
