I have read the rules for the game jam and need some clarification. The game jam rules states no strong violence or sexual themes now of course the game I have planned doesn't have or show any forms of nudity or extreme violence but it will imply it through narrative and though no nudity it will have art of characters in undergarments is that allowed?

I've read the rules and had a couple questions.  Regarding violence, I'm assuming standard combat is okay.  Regarding copyright, is it okay to take inspiration and/or some basic story beats from other media?

Hello, I see no country restrictions in the rules so anyone from anywhere can apply right?

Quick question regarding assets made before the jam. Was wondering if we could use art that was created before the jam? I have some art I had commissioned a while ago from a failed project that I would like to repurpose for this jam if possible. 

Hello!
I have a question about Contest Rules and Conditions.
Step: "You may use resources sold through Komodo in the Degica Games Shop or via Steam."

So, if I bought an asset or something else on another site (itch.io for example) then it is not allowed to use it?

Every time I put in my email to download MZ for the event trial it tells me "An error has occurred" and I am unable to download it. This happened both yesterday and today. Is this just an issue with high traffic and if so, is there another way I could download it? Thank you in advance. (Here's a picture of what I'm seeing when I put in my email).

 

Can I use music from previous versions (RPG MV, VXace) and include it in the MZ?

I use RPG Maker MV, is it possible to use the MV assets too?

I also want to forward the fact that I have the same issue as Syn-Cypher, the version available for the jam currently cannot be downloaded because of the error occurring.

Since the problem still occurs 19hours after that post, maybe it just doesn't work anymore?

I heard about the theme "Touching the Stars", but what does that mean?

Excuse me, but I have the same problem as Syn-Cypher. I get the same error message.

Hello! 
I wanted a bit of clarification of the game length rule. If we make a game that is shorter than the 20 minute minimum but is meant for multiple playthroughs/has multiple endings, would multiple runs count towards the allotted time or will games be judged by only one playthrough?

I have a question on a similar topic, about the game length.

For example, there are literally 5-7 minutes left before the end of the game. But the timer of the judge shows 1 hour already, although the general course of the plot shows that the end of the game is very soon.

In this case, the judge immediately interrupts the game and moves on to the next one, or is there still a very small time limit allow?

After all, everyone passes the game at their own pace, and it would be a shame if the judge doesn't have time to finish the game because of his/her pace of playing :)

hey i have a (stupid) question, If I edit a photo of Obama so that he has pink hair and cat ears, does that still violate rule 18?

I have another question if I have a creative commons picture of a model, who is not represented as that model,  and instead as a different character, would that violate rule 18?

Hihi, How about  using "bad words" but censored? Like AS##### do this have a problem or do I need to remove the bad words from the game?  they aren't supposed to be offensive to anyone they're just to add more personality in one specific character I create.
(I made this question before but I deleted because I guess here's the place to make this question)

Hi! I have a question. It says that "Entrants are discouraged from sharing their final game until the rating/judging period begins" but can I still share devlogs or stream while developing?
