Hello, asking for a small rules clarification:

Assets must be made during the jam. You can opt out of this rule and the Graphics rating by stating your game uses pre-made assets and > giving credit to the author. Fonts, Logos and Intros are exceptions to this rule and can be made before the jam regardless. People voting should encourage assets made during the jam. PS: Having an artist in your team is encouraged, AI art is not.

Let’s say an entry has stock music assets rather than producing it within the jam period, but the graphics were drawn during the jam–is it possible to do what’s noted above, but opt-out of any audio rating rather than graphics?

To head off any questions of “why didn’t you partner with any of the composers who posted here?”

I’ve had some bad experiences collaborating in the past, and I have some chronic health troubles that make it difficult to work in a team to begin with. For this reason, I only partner with people on jams if we already know each other very well–but sadly, I know almost no composers and the ones I do know are usually too busy. Such is life!

Yes, you'll be able to opt-out of the categories you want. So you can opt-out for audio, but keep getting rated for graphics, in your case.

To opt out of any category just note it on your submission and/or game description, just let people know how your assets were made and let them rate you based on that.
