Hi Cammy!
Are there restrictions on the use of assets from the game we're making a sequel to? My art isn't great but I have permission to use the assets.
Ripped assets are always fine in these friendly competitions, as long as we’re not profiting from the work it shouldn’t be a copyright problem, and as far as originality is concerned we should consider that many sequels re-used assets from previous games, so in the case of a jam based around sequels I don’t think we should judge the use of ripped assets harshly.
