I don’t really understand why deadline is such a big problem? Okay okay, prizes - everybody wants them but really approaching it as little fun thing to do on the weekend will do you much better 
What’s much more worrying for me is complete lack of comments on submissions. For most of the games I managed to play so far I’m the only person commenting. Maybe that’s because my very first game jams were Ludum Dares where it’s a tradition that you play other people games and leave feedback so everybody can learn something from that.
Just to check I looked at random game from last LD - he got many comments, 43rd place based on 44 ratings which is quite a lot considering over 3000 games were submitted.
I had great fun using Unreal for the first time during a jam but I’m probably not going to take part in future jams - that interaction between people is adding so much to the fun and I’m missing it here.
Anyways I played few really awesome games, good job guys!
