  I'm assuming the Judging phase starts after the 28th? This is my first time judging for a Jam so I'm not sure how it works lol

  My bad! The voting phase will be going on for 2 days. I'll send a message to all judges to remind them on that day.

  This is my first time doing this too. So basically, I think once it reaches the 28th, The judging phase will begin. I'm pretty sure the judging phase is about a week long. After that, the finals will begin with the last remaining skins.

  I mean it's still possible. I don't advise it since it changes the playing field a little bit.

  Yeah, it was really well made!
  
  Theme Ideas?
  Hmm, how about:
  Jam with a specific resolution pixel art (probs blog) that we'd make, and a generator that, when people roll a google dice for each aspect, they have to follow the specific prompts it makes, so everyone has a different combination!

  Hey, if you're planning on creating an original character, consider adding the skin into my newest jam, The Pixel Pals Palooza! So far, there's not a lot of entries, so you might have better chances of getting first place!
