First of all thank you so much for creating this!

A quick question about starting this - I know the rules say not to create the game until February 1. How do you feel about story boarding/writing prior to that or would that not be in the spirit of the jam?

Thank you!

Starting the creative process (brainstorming, the script, creating assets etc) before the jam are fine! So long as you don't actually start programming and putting the game together until the start date, I won't be a stickler for it.

Thank you!
