I know that everytime someone came to question this, but somethings have been bothering me for a long time:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first thing is, there is no rule about the content in Jam event, so, I could use every asset I can find as long I have the rights to use it?<\/p>\n

I mean…really?<\/p>\n

So I could mod a game (I mean, use it’s assets to make another one), use personal libraries, use art that I made for other games and etc?<\/p>\n

Just to be sure, it is really allowed?<\/p>\n

I’m not\u00a0criticizing, just asking if it really is like this.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

About the Comp part, “4.\u00a0All publicly available libraries and middleware are allowed”, so if I say before the start of the jam “hey guys, I’m gonna to use this package that has all the code that I need, you can download here if you want” it is allowed?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Again, I’m not criticizing, just asking.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PS.: I read the “For Jam games, you are free to use whatever artwork or content you like (preferably something you have the legal rights to), but you must accept all responsibility for its use”, just want to be sure.<\/p>\n \n
