Dear Mr. or Ms. MCL,

Can you approve this concept of a character before I create the assets for it? I don't want to go through the effort of doing so and find out my game gets disqualified because it fell into the category of "TikTok weirdcore." Trust me, I think what I can bring will be more creative than that. Also, sorry for the vague description. If necessary, I can DM you a full explanation of what I plan to create.

I don't think it should be classified as "weirdcore". It's very hard to explain every type of "liminality cores", because everyone gets them confused. But I believe that it's not "weird core", because there is an explanation to all of this, it's not abstract (to a heavy level), it's not low quality images.


I'd still get approval if I were you. Hopefully this helps.

Yeah, I think it'll be fine. It was just the fact the description they gave for "TikTok weirdcore" included using objects in place of heads.

Now, I know what they mean by TikTok weirdcore. Typically just jpegs of clothes and an object for a head. My character will have plenty more effort than that, so I don't believe it should fall into that category.

It was just that one line where they specify that games with TikTok weirdcore will be disqualified that has me and the rest of the team shivering our timbers.

Hopefully they reply soon. I'm entering my game into two jams (other is due July 31st), so I hope a response before then. 馃檹

Also, if you consider ENA weirdcore, then I think this should be too (at least with a low level of abstraction). Come to think of it, my character is a lot like Mariya and Gabo (if Gabo was headless lol).

Welp... assets been made. They should be acceptable :)

Yes, your design is perfectly acceptable. I apologize for not responding earlier.

Tis fine! Hope you enjoy!
