What can I bring for Compo? (= What counts as cheating?)

Obviously I know some hard lines like you can bring your own prewritten scripts/engine and you can't use premade art.. but I want to make sure what is allowed and what is not.

  1. So... let's start with the easy one. Can I make my own pixel font in advance? (Just warming up.)

  2. Can I make some UI assets in advance? Like buttons or arrows..

  3. Can I make some common/system SFX in advance? Like button or blip sounds. Or even walk/jump sounds.

  4. I'm pretty sure this is allowed, but can I make my own character "manequin" in advance?

  5. How bout... trees.. rocks... and some common tilesets like grass/dirt?

  6. This is probably the biggest... can I use ChatGPT to consult and even copy paste their example scripts? Or is ALL AI usage banned absolutely? I really don't know how much, I'm guessing around 5~40% of my own. I'm obviously going to edit it according to my needs...

Now that I've only 2 days left I want to prepare my artside as best as I can without crossing the line.


Also, I want to do my own streaming this time. Do you know a platform where I can prepare that without showing my face or sounds?
