you just aren't allowed to get help from other people I don't think it's that deep, it's not some line you are supposed to get as close as possible to, it is the spirit of the jam to make your game yourself. Using unity is not the same thing as having an artist work on your game lol
Viewing post in Where's the line drawn with getting help from other people?
well... yeah. with an artist you can ask them to make pretty much any asset which goes against the jam's rules, but if you cannot make something yourself, you can use something already pre-made as long as it's foss and your entire game is not overusing it, so that your game isn't just an asset flip. it's different than having a team since with assets you can only choose whatever is available, but with a tea, you have much more power over your entire project. Also make sure to credit every asset that you may use! pretty much sure that will affect your game rating..... or not, its up to acerola honestly lmao
