should we use the http://itch.io\|itch.io platform? I’m not sure what benefits it offers? @jerome.martin.dev @samdphillips

It has a voting system, and a place to publicize games.

@samdphillips are you up for doing the itchio config?

I’m checking what the level of effort is to set up a gamejam there

This looks simple enough.

There are more fields (big text blocks which we’ve mostly written)

Yes I will set it up.

Give me a bit, work and all of that

thank you @samdphillips

:slightly_smiling_face:

I’ll see about doing it this afternoon

I’m undecided about the dates

at first I said November,

then I got excited and said october

Now I’m thinking October and November as building a game is significant effort and people need time to form teams etc.

What do you think?

I’m still excited.

Yeah there is a great variety in length of a gamejam. Some are in the 3–7 day range (which reminds me of the ICFP contest in a way) and some are longer.

November has Thanksgiving which is kinda week long holiday in the US.

October is pretty soon, it feels rushed. Plus in November I’d be able to use my Thanksgiving vacation time to make a game

…but October is Hacktoberfest!

Apropos games: did you see the new voxel package?

Ooh

cool

Wish someone had the time/energy to get Vulkan binding set up for Racket.

So is November sufficient? or should it be November-December? @notjack @samdphillips

I like november

Same

I think that is an agreement
