Submission Hour?

[raw] LD30LD #30 24. Aug 2014 · 23:09 UTC · 2 days after compo start by fisholith · 0

What is “Submission Hour“? (Sorry, this is my first LD)

Just asking because I have been trying and failing to get my game uploaded to GameJolt for about 30 minutes now. :/
Does this mean I’m out of LD compo?
Every time I try to set up a new game it just puts me back on the dashboard page, with no new game profile to add distributions to.

—–Edit:
Well, I figured out the problem with uploading to GameJolt.
As I suspected I was doing something derpy, but it took me until now to figure out what it was.

I kept forgetting to set one of the fields that I thought was optional. I didn’t realize it because rather than indicating that I’d missed a required field, the form just sent me back to the dashboard. And as you can imagine the closer time got to running out the less I noticed any details. :)

As far as I know the submission hour is the Legendary 49th Hour Lurking In The Depths Of Time (LFNHLITDOT in short) that allows participant to upload their last minute fixes or deal with uploading troubles. At least that’s what I believe it is. I might have crossed the border by a bunch of seconds myself, so such hour is/would be a blessing. ^^”
