Hi fellow LDers!

We are participating the first time and already had our good round of players trying our game (https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/59/i-had-no-signal) and we couldn't be much more excited!

Now we need advice from more experienced Jammers!

That's because we had some feedback and naturally we asked ourselves the question whether we can act on some of these feedbacks.

The 2017 Rules (https://ludumdare.com/resources/archive/rules-2017/) state:

"Certain Bug Fixes are allowed. You can’t add new features, but if something broke or didn’t work correctly as you were finishing up, you can fix this after the deadline. You are asked to highlight the changes you make in your submission (a short change log). You probably wont get a 2nd chance with some players, but at least it wont be a problem for future players."

There is a link on the submit page to the current rules, but its down: https://ludumdare.com/rules/

So, what we would like to fix is: - Monster spawn bug: encounter now works every round as intended (sometimes the monster was stuck and never encountered) - Restored missing trees (an area had trees intended to block paths, but somehow got missing) - Added brightness slider (game was unplayably dark on some monitors)

Now we really don't know. To fix the monster we also needed to move it to a different spawn position, the trees are essentially minor but not just a single variable fix and the brightness slider could be considered a whole new feature.

What is the accepted guideline there to judge this?

For now we have concluded we don't touch the Jam version at all and live with the problems, until the voting is over. Is this the right approach?
