This thread is locked because there was a rule change on 28/3/21 which is

You can now use any colors in the greyscale. (Any colors in between black and white)  
That said, transparency, gradient, and anti-aliasing is now allowed.

The main reason behind this is because I just found out that there is another jam out there called 1-bit jam that coincidentally have the exact same limitation as us (using only the colour black and white), and theirs are starting first. I hope this will cause as least inconvenience as possible to all, and hope everyone will feel more comfortable and happy with this change.

As there are some outdated information here, please use and refer to this new thread instead.

Can I use fog?

No, since fog uses transparency.

Can I use White to Black and Black to White gradual transitions?

Sadly, no, you cannot use gradient.

Yep, dithering is perfectly okay!

Well I don't have PC and that's why I decided to make game in mobile game engine 

Game engine Name:Max2d 

And it allows to export apk or make zip file 

So Lone Rabbit it's legal or not to make game in mobile. 

Host

You can use any engine you want, so yes you can.

Can I start thinking about ideas for the game and make some cartoons?

Host
Can I start thinking about ideas for the game

Yes.

make some cartoons?

No, you can't create anything that will be used in the game until the start of the jam.

I know, but can I make something for inspiration?

Host

Sure.

Will this tile set be ok or does it need to be pure black and white like in 1 bit games?

Host

Pure black & white.

Host

Hi, you will be able to use that tileset now regarding the rule change on 28/3/21

And one more thing I can only make game for Android there is no option to export for PC or mac.So it is OK or not 

Host

It is ok, but note that significantly less people can play and rate your submission if you submit a mobile game.

Is Anti-aliasing okay?

Anti-aliasing is not allowed.


Though there are exceptions: if it is used purely for the purpose of making a shape/image look less jaggier and it is not obvious, then it is allowed. 

Examples of ok:

Examples of not-ok: 

(both on the right are not ok)

But just to be safe, try avoid using anti-aliasing if you can.

Hi, you will be able to use anti-aliasing now regarding the rule change on 28/3/21
