Well I wasn’t wanting to turn it into a complaint about Crowdforge but the main reasons I personally don’t find it very suitable for the GameJam is;
- You can only create a team, there’s no facility to list yourself as an individual wishing to join a team.
- Joining a group is automatic but that group may not actually accept you so you can’t tell whether the listed members of a group are actual members or prospective applicants.
- You have to join the group to communicate with it in any way, so it’s hard to just ask a question like “do you need a person to work with a particular 3rd party program?” or other factors that may influence your decision to join a group.
