@Alexander_Paschall I sent a PM yesterday about Community Spotlight and attending this jam, but I see that I’m not part of the team list, not sure if you received my PMs. (Feel free to tell me to shutup if u are receiving and just havent actioned).

Thanks for the opportunity to compete

16

They take part every month around the mid of it :wink:

17

I think that they will tell it at 2pm there time where they always make there streams.

18

And submitting is until the night from sunday to Monday 12 am there time that would be 5 am your time 6 am your time :slight_smile:

19

This will be my first Game Jam too, looking forward to it =] Will give me something to focus on!
(UK team too, so yeh time is confusing ha)

20

It was also confusing to me, why they don’t tell the exact time zone. But since they started to post countdown links, its much easier, just follow these guys and don’t worry. Countdowns are always true, regardless of where you’re from. Read the post carefully to find them.

21

Dammit. That’ll teach me :wink: Cheers!
