Regarding use of existing art and sound effects Sticky

We have received questions about the use of art and sound effects created prior to the game jam. We have nothing in the rules which forbid this and we say that you can "use existing tools, frameworks and libraries". This can be extrapolated to also cover use of existing art and sound.

Keep in mind that we will be looking at the game as a whole and judge the game on three criteria:

  1. Fun - Is the game fun?
  2. Web Monetization - How well does the game integrate and use Web Monetization?
  3. Theme - How well does the game incorporate and interpret the theme?

If you use art from kenney.nl or some art which you have created before the jam does not matter much, but we obviously prefer to see something new, instead of reused art. But we do at the same time recognise the fact that a lone game developer might not be skilled in coding, game design, art and sound. Use common sense and focus on our three criteria: Fun, Theme and use of Web Monetization!
