Hey all,

Wondering if people think it's kosher to change the lightness values of the colors for shading?  It will still be clear that my game was made with the color palette, but I will adjust the lightness values just a tad to add shadows and lighting.

This is what I'm doing, I asked on their Discord and the atmosphere is "make your game how you want to make it" - it might mean not scoring the highest on using the colour palette, but you can't be rejected or disqualified for it. You might want to ask on the Discord yourself though -https://discord.gg/qPtxnxv

Yup! We even have some people going rogue and using palettes that lost the tournament. It might affect the judging criteria for palette usage, but do whatever you want!
