Greetings! Can we use assets from previous attempts and prototypes we have created, or it has to be 100% original? 

(PS: Thanks for hosting! I had never realised the impact of topdown games, before I read your personal perspective. I am now going to ponder as to why these types of games create a more personal experience too me as well.)

Yes, previously created assets will be allowed! Thank you for bringing it to my attention that I didn't say anything about that in the jam page!
