Yes, you’re allowed to use your own custom game engine (or reuse older code from before the competition).

Sorry, non-default fonts are not allowed here. You can use different scripts (or any unicode symbol) but just the default font.

Twine macros that are built into the twine format would be okay to use, so link-replace is fine.

Hi! We can’t control what you do after the jam is over, but adding graphics/audio kind of goes against the spirit of the jam. You can create a new project if you want to add media to the game, and submitting a demo is totally fine. Good luck!

Hi! If there is an image of text being used as a background/sprite, that would not be allowed (using CSS to show ASCII art as a web page background would also not be allowed). However, if the ASCII art is mixed with the rest of the game text, that would be fine.

I played through the whole Lights series because of this debacle. Your games were powerful and affecting; I still don’t know how to fully express my feelings about them. They deserve to be seen. Thank you for writing this post.

Hi! This screen would count as the multi-option passage, because hyperlinks to informative pages also count as choices.

Thank you, I really appreciated your review!

Thank you so much!

I played this game again after reading about the latest anti-trans policies in the US. It’s horrifying how much everything has backslid so that the game’s premise is no longer possible here. This game has become almost like a comfort game to me, somehow, just because there’s so little media out there about trans female athletes (and so much hatred whipped against them), and the game humanizes them in a context that doesn’t whitewash how badly they may be treated or how they may react to such treatment.

Thank you for making this incredible game. It feels important to me; I wish there were more stories like it. I hope one day things get better in this country. Until then, well, now is the time of monsters.

Yes, demos or incomplete games would be allowed!

I don’t know how to interact with the android filesystem using the current development framework, but maybe eventually. In the meantime, exporting saves in the online version might work?

It’s mostly just an allusion to Adenauer’s irl post-war career.

Thank you! There’s no skip feature, but you can save before an ending to see other options.

Should be fixed now

That’s the “best” ending (there are only two). Thank you for playing!

I’m thinking of adding a “Cabinet” pinned card for selecting government policies; how does that sound?

“Coalition Affairs” as a landmine is deliberate, btw.

Updates are still in the works; have some patience…

Yes, they do.

Thank you!

Do you have the labor ministry?

Thanks!! I’m considering developing this into a game, but no concrete plans yet…

This was added in v0.18, I forgot to put it in the devlog.

That’s the name of the scene file in the source code. Unfortunately it might be a load bearing name at this point…

I think this should be fixed now?

The display bug should be fixed now…

Yes, it’s okay to use Google Sites.

Yes, you’re allowed to use more than one software, and to use the itch page to support storytelling.

No, there’s no theme for the jam.

Thanks! The engine used is dendry.

Thank you for playing and reviewing the game. For what it’s worth, I’m not really updating the game anymore.

Most of these issues should be fixed now…

Sure! If you want to translate the game, feel free to make a fork on github. The game is open source, and you can compile and deploy it if you want - someone helpfully made a guide on the subreddit.

This isn’t really a bug; the economic conference option is not yet implemented.

Sure, you can make changes after the deadline.

This should be fixed now.

The law can only pass if the SPD + DDP + KPD has a majority, and the SPD controls the chancellor. My reasoning about Zentrum getting a bump is that passing the abortion law will increase political polarization by religion; Zentrum is an explicitly Christian and Catholic party while the Nazis had an ambiguous relationship with Christianity, so I think Zentrum would be better placed to benefit from this polarization.
