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.<\/p>\n

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?<\/p>","time":"December 2nd, 2014 9:08 am","title":"Question about the new rules"}
