What are we allowed to do before the jam starts?
The standard stuff, such as brainstorming, researching, plot-outlining, team building, concept sketches. Asset-creation and writing are also allowed to an extent, but it's preferable that a majority of that be done during the jam period.
Thanks, (Sorry I didn't see the FAQ before I posted that (didn't realize the drop down was there))
For the merfolk, can we make new 'specie types'(not sure about the better word for it) or do they have to be based on previously established ones?
As long as it fits the template of "part-human, part aquatic creature", then maybe that could work. It depends on the species in question.
