A quick question!

Are tweaks to entries that are purely for performance allowed after submission? Or is that a no no? I seem to recall being allowed to make performance tweaks last time, but I’m not sure.

I don’t think so. If people did it last time, they probably weren’t supposed to. It’s mostly on the honor system anyway, but I think it’s most fair to freeze all development after submission.

Allowed after the compo ends is fixing of fatal crash bugs that render the game unplayable (to some people) and the porting to different platforms. Performance tweaks are crossing the line, IMO.

Just add a link to a “post-compo” version.

My personal thoughts would be to fix it if it is game breakingly bad (ie. performance slows to unplayable frame rates or game freezes briefly), but not if all you’re doing is tweaking an already playable game.
