A question, if I may: In brainstorming, a few lines of potential text for the project have come to me. (Albeit that I haven't written them down.) Does that then disqualify the concept that I was working on? Or should I perhaps make a point of eschewing those lines? Or are those few okay...? ^^;

I was thinking that I’d like to use a (not yet made) modified version of an existing engine, so that I can add specific features regarding audio. If I were to make the modifications publicly available before the game jam starts under a FOSS license, would it be fine for me to use that for developing my game?

Hey, is there any discord channel for this jam?

Can I write a novel in a language other than English?

Can it be short?

Excited for my first NaNoRenO jam.

I wanted to clarify the AI rules if possible

• Use of Creative Commons material is okay.
• Any premade assets used must be publicly available (either free or paid)
• AI-generated assets are only allowed if you own the training data. (e.g. Photoshop’s content-aware fill, training an entirely separate instance of AI on exclusively your work, using ML to remix art with permission from the artist, etc.) Systems in which the training data is not owned by the dev (ChatGPT, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, and similar) are not allowed at this time.

I’m currently building a custom AI art model as part of my workflow but some of the training data information is not available anymore am I still able to use it even though:

• the unknown training data is only a portion of the mixed training data to create the model
• the AI process is only part of my asset generation workflow, the “bones” of the artwork are not AI generated (my current workflow is sketch then photo-bash then AI Oilily Filter)

The models I am using are allowed for commercial use.

If its too much of a grey area, I will just include 2 build versions(one with the filter & one without) during development and once voting starts hide the AI filter version so there is no confusion.

There are some free-to-use assets on this site where it isn't obvious whether or not the artist used AI. Are participants responsible for making sure any asset they use wasn't created with AI, or is the rule more about what participants create or commission for themselves than about what they come across in the wild?

Hello! I was wondering if fangames are allowed, or do they have to be completely original?

Hello! Is there a way to DM you? I have a more specific question.

What if we post a game that will be updated?

Is the IntRenAiMo tag a mere Twitter tag, or something we can set on itch.io? I started typing it in the itch.io page tags field, but it didn’t autocomplete. Maybe just because not many people used it? Should I still enter it manually if I need to?

(in my case I didn’t do much work before the jam that was not changed later, so the tag is not super relevant, but if I decide to use it eventually, I prefer knowing how exactly)

When browsing the submissions, I noticed two entries that appear to very likely be made with AI. Is there a place to report them since that's against the rules of the jam?
