I can't even edit the form any more) I had clicked \"Unfinished\" and \"Publish\" about a day ago.  Was that the wrong thing to do?  At that time it *was* unfinished.\nNo, it isn't really a game yet.  But it does run and does generate another landscape every time you run it.\nI'd like to have people try it.  It takes me about a second to click on the link and see the landscape, and that's all it does, but even so I wouldn't mind having feedback.\n\nWhat should I have done?  Is it really impossible to make corrections in a submission after saying \"publish\"?\n\nAll the site's instructions tell me about submitting is that they have to write that instruction sometime.\n\nI really don't know how to navigate the website.  Not even after doing Ludum Dare several times.\n\n-- hendrik","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":506368,"author_name":"Sandra Jasionowska","author_uid":"sandra-jasionowska","epoch":1587737591,"text":"Hey, in my case in this link http:\/\/topoi.pooq.com\/hendrik\/ld46\/game.html it only generates some lines and I can't see the possibility to play here. \nAnd your game IS published and people can rate your sumbission.
