Love this. I'd be interested for these videos to highlight some cool design decisions or overcoming a problem of one or two levels. Something more in depth, because they look well thought out and I want more from your perspective.

Cheers Yousef. I know what you mean and have thought about it a lot, but the fundamentally tricky thing is how much more oversight and time that kind of thing would require from me. Currently I can only afford the time to run these jams because I'm not consistently overseeing any of projects (we already have dozens of participants and I'm hoping it'll be lots more in the future), and feedback from me is limited to text replies to what people share on the Discord, and various questions and topics that come up.
I'm also consciously trying to avoid the jams feeling competitive in any way, or involving me picking any favourites. Just choosing which ones to include in these short videos about the jam is already about as far as I want go there, haha.
Hope you understand where I'm coming from here. But will definitely keep thinking about ways I could provide some of the feedback and insight you're talking about here 👍

This is such a cool idea to help give people experience without getting lost in it. I'm much more of a level artist, but level design looks so fun thanks to your channel.
