First-time game jam participant (and gamedev in general) here! Just wanted to ask for clarification regarding the “paid assets not allowed” vs. “paid tools are allowed” distinction.

I was thinking of using The Dialogue System for Unity paid asset since I love how it works compared to making a dialog system from scratch… but assumed since it was a paid “asset” on the Unity store I couldn’t use it. But when I checked the rules I saw that “paid tools” were allowed. My assumption is that paid tools refers to stuff outside Unity for creating assets (adobe creative suite, aseprite, FL Studio, etc). 

Just in case, I wanted to ask if the Dialogue System for Unity would count as a paid tool or not in this instance! I assume it’s not allowed but I’d rather ask before making dialog implementation harder for myself!

Thanks in advance :)
