Question about the new rules
We skipped one Jam, so the rules may not be that new, but I can’t find a lot of clarification. The rules for the Jam, say that if you use 3rd party or assets you made previous to the jam, you should opt-out of the category.
And that’s fine and makes sense. But what if, say, you use a character you made previously and the rest of the graphics are made from scratch? Would putting a clear note in the description and not opt-ing out of the graphics category be fine?

If you don’t want to opt-out of graphics I’d probably just avoid using that character if I were you. I’m sure no-one would call the police or anything but it wouldn’t really be in the spirit of Ludum Dare which is about what you can do in 48/72 hours.

Is that the spirit though? The previous rules for the 72hours/Jam version did clearly say that you could use stuff you had laying around from previous projects. The rules were more relaxed.
