Hey hobbyist here. I wanted to know if we would be allowed to use assets that we have purchased. And quality of life tools owned through the unity asset store e.g Codemonkeys toolkit or Aron Granbergs pathfinding project or do we have to create a game entirely from scratch

Hi there!
I had a chat with the team & that's fine, but just you need to be clear about what you used in your entry
If you use bought or pre-made assets for a category-specific element, you cannot be considered for prizes in that category. For example, if your game’s music comes entirely from an asset pack, it wouldn’t make sense to enter or be awarded the Best Music prize, since that creative work wasn’t done during the jam. 

Thanks for clarifying
