First of all, love the energy of this jam. I hope you can get all the fish-related games you missed out on from that bundle of no fish.

Now, my questions:

• Can I create a visual novel in TyranoBuilder (a codeless VN engine) for this because me no code code hard
• Could I not use fish as like the actual characters but just a central part of the narrative (ex. a story about fishermen) because I honestly don't wanna have to draw fish sprites and I'd be doing this myself so I'd want to use free-to-use premade sprites most likely
• In the event the answer to the question above is "no" could I start on the fish sprites now and would I need to disclose that
• Same thing as above with the concept and outline

FISH

Also if I need to code I can and will make a Scratch game

• Any tool / engine is fine
• yeah that’s fine, fish should just be an important part of it
• you can outline and come up with ideas and stuff before the jam but yeah if you start developing it and making art and stuff before I’d prefer if you disclose that just to make it more fair for people working fully in the submission week
