I recently submitted a project to 8BitFunding and it said wait 2-3 days, so I waited and waited an waited. It's now been 4or5 days since I submitted it and I haven't received any email/messages from 8BitFunding. How can I contact them to ask what's going on? How can I change my project submissial form to mean a smooth acceptence?

Thanks

PS: Sorry If this is in the wrong section

Well.... you might consider going to their website, and clicking the link that says "contact us" (bottom of page). :whistle:

Just a thought.

8bitfunding did look interesting. I believe they have some fairly strict guidelines a submission must adhere to, check you met all the guidelines then contact 8bitfunding. The Game Maker Community isn't affilated with them in any way so this is about the best we can give you.

<h4>3. What's required to start a project?
Starting a project requires a few things:

- A video, preferably with gameplay if you have it.

- A thumbnail image approx. 500x300 wide.

- A well thought out description.

- Perks for contributors.

- Your ability and willingness to complete your project.

- Your ability and willingness to market your project.


This was the closet I could find on the site, since I'm not a member I don't have full access to everything but this seems to be a fair list of guidelines.

- A thumbnail image approx. 500x300 wide. DONE

- A well thought out description. DONE I THINK

- Perks for contributors. DONE

- Your ability and willingness to complete your project. YEAH

- Your ability and willingness to market your project. YEAH

I dont think it can be that... I wonder why its taking them so long. If it because they think its a no, i wish they'd just tell me that :)

Who says complaining does nothing?

15 minutes after sending them a email saying what is going on and that I was getting to the verge of annoyance they accepted my project. And as cheral cole said 'if somethig is worth having, it's sure enough worth fighting for'

thank you for all your help guys and please visit my page here:
