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

subtle cove
#

AFAIK it is yeah

echo briar
#

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
#

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

echo briar
#

Why is this so sketchy lmao

subtle cove
#

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

echo briar
#

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.

Is the networking event where most people find teams?

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
#

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
#

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

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
#

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
#

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

subtle cove
#

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
#

Yeah

@subtle cove just to be sure, has Dimension Hopper been submitted and does it qualify? I've had some problems with submitting it on the GJ+ page since Sunday.

subtle cove
#

I can ping the platform person and see if he can help

subtle cove
quick dew
#

Not sure. I set incubation to yes

#

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

subtle cove
#

Did you submit your pitch/video?

quick dew
#

I believe so
