Hi!
Question as the title of the thread. It can be argued that almost any subject contain politics in one way or another, so what kind of politics are not allowed? I'm most specifically interested in if it's ok to make games with environmental themes or that references, contains or somehow process things regarding climate change but I also the question is interesting from an even broader perspective.
Thanks
Hi Kritlof - Thank you for the question! We will do our best to answer this in a straightforward way. To directly answer the question, politics in general is a divisive topic, which is what we wish to avoid. Love unites, and brings people together whereas division drives people apart. So when we mention not adding politics into games its specific to real world polical climates. If your games have fictional factions then that should be fine, just being careful on the content. Use your best discretion.
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I just think the concept of being "unpolitical" is a bit problematic and that it's kind of hilarious that games about fighting terrorism with violence can be considered unpolitical while a game featuring same sex couples is not. It might even be said that the concept of raising money for children in hospitals is political in itself, but anyway...
I get that you just don't want any trouble and I do ofc think that what you're doing is for a good cause. I will think about if I have any ideas that feels like they could work within this context. Regardless I hope the jam goes well and that you can raise a lot of money.
