hello!! this is my first time doing a jam like this, but i just wanted to ask a few questions and i figured this was where i'd ask them, haha
am i allowed to use rpg maker and its assets (like sfx, bgm, vfx, etc.) and still be eligible for the prizes? what about scripts/plug-ins as long as they're free to use commercially and i follow their terms of use?
thanks, and cheers!!
My team has a boss rush I made a while back in a different set of tooling to what we use today, we were planning to port it and polish it up since it never got finished. Would this disqualify us since we already have the design elements done? (We'd be open to leaving the source repository public as evidence of the code being authored fresh during the jam window). If it does disqualify us from prizes, are we still fine to submit just for the momentum gain of being part of a jam?
Hey there! Thanks for asking.
A port is against the spirit of a game jam.
Submitting a pre-existing game would result in a disqualification, even if said game was rebuilt from the ground up.
Just to be safe, could you clarify what you mean by this post? How much of your submitted game would be “ported” from the old one?
OR are you just looking for permission to use existing assets?
Hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions.
Hi! I was planning on writing all the code myself and probably make some of the UI art myself. However, I was thinking about using animated characters and background art assets from the Unity Asset Store for my game, so I can focus on the code. Does this still count as making the majority of the game myself?
Hello,
I just want to clarify the usage of the assets during tht game jam. I've assets that I purchased from the unity asset store and I want to use the topdown engine to speed up development.
So can I use this asset in order to build the game or should I just start from the scratch to implement everything manually?
