What is a Visual Novel Sprite?

A visual novel sprite is a character used in a visual novel. A sprite can be created in many styles and ways. Like a piece of art, it is up to the artist to create whatever they desire. The opportunities are endless.

Judges:

The judges for this game jam competition will be me (StrxwberryBliss Studios) and MysteriousCAT (a friend of mine). 

How to participate

1. Create an original and new game sprite to be used for a visual novel.

2.  The visual novel sprite cannot include;

- Inappropriate or 18+ content,

Or make content that exceeds the example of rules above.

3. Do not upload a used or unoriginal sprite, because that is really uncool.

4. Submit the visual novel sprite alone (it must be free) so it can be used in a visual novel.

5. You can include CG art or extra pieces of art that is included with the visual novel sprite itself.

6. Last but not least, submit the finished submission through itch.io (This Jam).

~Important~

If you are asking, you can submit more than one visual novel sprite! Haha, sorry for not clarifying that 😊.

Voting

Voting will open after the submission date once everyone has created a visual novel sprite. Entries submitted will be rated on the following categories: Use of Colour, Graphics, Design, Originality, Artistic Skill and Creativity. The voting will be rated by the public. This is if the art is displayed properly according to the criteria.

What is the submissions going to be used for?

Well, I'm glad you asked! I will plan to use the sprites submitted in my most recent visual novel so that it can be enjoyed to all itch.io players worldwide. I will be also choosing a winner/s by the theme they are going for and I will recreate that theme for the visual novel.

Final words from the owner of this Game Jam:

Good luck to the contestants and I hope you create a wonderful sprite that will smash this competition! Also it would be a huge help if you tell your friends about this because I want to give everyone a chance to do something like this.
