You can use any 'Asset' (artwork,music etc) for your game, as long as you have permission to do so. So you can use your own assets if you want whether its submitted here or not, but you MUST use a minium of 6 assets from OGA itself, 2 from at least 3 categories(i.e, 2 assets from 2D artwork, 2 from Music and 2 from Sound effects). You also must follow the license attributions as you normally would, in other words, credit the author of the asset you use. The more you use from OGA the better your voting score will probably be.
What about art we submitted before the jam?
like i have mentioned above you can use any asset, so it makes no difference if it was submitted on OGA 10 years ago or last week,if its an asset from OGA, than its all good. :) any work you have used but its not on OGA, then feel free to submit it.
Can i create any type of game?
of coarse!, what ever you want, it doesn't have to be a game, maybe a book, or something else, as long as it can be submitted to the jam and voted on. but please stick to the rules of no Racism, politics and what not. :)
What is the art challenge theme?
it is assets that have been created by artists based on the art challenge set by Dannorder which have a theme. you can base your game on the themes or use the assets and get bonus votinf criteria, the links are on the jam page. :)
We all would like to have a finished game, but sometimes its not always possible for whatever reasons. If you feel you cant make a full game, then just make a demo if you want, or even if you dont finish, still submit, we want to see what you guys and girls do with the assets, just make a note in the comments about it, but try and have something playable though.
May i stick a link to my patreon?
Its your game, i dont see why not, be up to the player if they check it or not.:)
it does seem a long time, but the idea is that it will give everyone a chance to participate in the jam by allowing them to set some time away from their already busy work load, or novice coders like me who may need that extra time. :)
you could start later in the jam if you want, and set your own timing challenge, 3 days, 1 week within the 4 weeks that it runs, its up to you.
dont worry if you do not finish your game fully, you should submit it anyway, perhaps right 'demo' in brackets after your games name.
unfinished games can inspire many people, and as the focus is the assets used it will be really cool to see what ideas participants me up with, even if there just a concept. :)
although this is a after thought really, just because this is a 'Game Jam' doesn't mean it has to be a game, it could be a story book, or even a film.
as long as it uses the the minimum amount of assets required by the rules and can be submitted for voting then it's all good!
Grammer, if you want me to correct it then let me know where ive made the mistakes, no problem, you kind of have to take me as you find me really, im not that educated, im not that bothered. if you understand it then it should be ok, I'm working on other stuff at the same time so your have to forgive me if its not 100%.
does that include planning?
well its entirly up to you how you guys & girls want to plan for a jam or do what you feel you need to do, it doesnt start for 10 days and it runs for 4 weeks.
Does art we submit during the jam count?

Does the game have to be complete?
We all would like to have a finished game, but sometimes its not always possible for whatever reasons. If you feel you cant make a full game, then just make a demo if you want, or even if you dont finish, still submit, we want to see what you guys and girls do with the assets, just make a note in the comments about it, but try and have something playable though.

Whats the max rating?
its a 5 star system, more stars the better.
Hope that helps. :)

oh yes! love the corrado!, remember fondly when I owned a G60.
It may be a good idea to create a 'Collection' aswell and put the assets you actually use in that,
:)

I have now finalised the jam and its ready to go, and start in 12 days.
