Been getting a number of questions on this topic so I’m going to try to give a blanket answer:
This is an RPG Maker game jam, which to me means the “vibe” of RPG Maker in the base engine. This means top down, pixel graphics, somewhat rudimentary gameplay systems, on a tile system, etc. However, RPG Maker can be modified in a lot of ways to do much more than this, which makes it hard to allow other engines. But I’m chill so I will allow other engines with the following limitation.
IF YOU USE AN ENGINE THAT IS NOT RPGMAKER OR RPGMAKER ADJACENT, YOU MUST EMULATE THE BASE RPGMAKER STYLE OF GAME. You cannot use another engine and make like a third person shooter and say that is emulating RPGMaker “with plugins”. You must stick more rigorously to the basic RPGMaker vibe when using another engine, if you can do that then it’s fine. Feel free to join the discord and @ message me with questions or concerns if you choose to do this, or ask on here.
