...Is the registration page supposed to just be a random IP address & port?

subtle cove Sep 24, 2024, 11:17 PM

#

AFAIK it is yeah

echo briar Sep 25, 2024, 2:36 AM

#

Yeah that definitely seemed weird to me haha

#

I got a confirmation email and it took me to the Brazil page and I couldn't see how to register as an American

subtle cove Sep 25, 2024, 3:27 AM

#

Good to know, I am in a WhatsApp group with the organizers and can send them this feedback.

echo briar Sep 25, 2024, 4:52 AM

#

Why is this so sketchy lmao

subtle cove Sep 25, 2024, 5:21 AM

#

It's a small organization run mostly by volunteers. They are doing their best with the resources they have.

echo briar Sep 25, 2024, 5:42 AM

#

Yeah I just don't feel very safe clicking on the links if I'm being honest. I feel like I'm gonna get scammed or something and those HTTPs aren't helping

Seattle Indies is a small organization run mostly by volunteers and I would say it's an order of magnitude more organized. I have a lot of sympathy for the group but I feel like they're falling short of a minimum bar for professionalism.

I appreciate the kind words, Seattle Indies is fortunate to operate in a part of the world with abundant resources to support our efforts. The Game Jam Plus team is based in a part of the world with far less support and resources so I am trying to help them as best I can with my knowledge, wisdom, and connections. Feedback for them should be actionable and achievable on minimal/no budget.

grizzled otter Is the networking event where most people find teams?

@subtle cove ping on this question

subtle cove Oct 17, 2024, 5:38 PM

#

Some people come with pre-formed teams but most of the team formation happens at the beginning of the jam

Anyone here looking for a generalist designer with scripting experience? DM me for info!

echo briar Oct 18, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

What does the layout for people working in person look like? Do you need to bring a laptop? Do people stay overnight?

#

Are there Ethernet slots in the walls?

echo briar Oct 18, 2024, 9:55 PM

#

Also, I will probably need a team but I would rather wait until I actually get there in person

molten wren Oct 18, 2024, 11:42 PM

#

Just realized there was a meetup link. If I didn't RSVP at the meetup link but registered at the register link, does that mean I have to attend virtually, or can I still show up to the venue?

subtle cove Oct 18, 2024, 11:53 PM

#

Definitely bring a PC/laptop. I think for tonight we'll end up going home around 10. Tomorrow you are welcome to stay and work overnight.

echo briar Oct 19, 2024, 12:04 AM

#

I left my PC stuff in the car from last night's event lol

subtle cove Oct 19, 2024, 12:15 AM

#

To clarify we can't stay overnight at the venue. They will be open from Noon to 7pm tomorrow and then Noon until we are done on Sunday

echo briar Oct 19, 2024, 12:21 AM

#

Then I submitted. Is it still saying it's not?

subtle cove Oct 24, 2024, 3:36 AM
