Hi !
I'm currently making my first ever game since the beginning of the year, and I saw the Jam a week ago. Because I intended to do winter levels, I thought this jam was a perfect way for me to motivate myself doing pixel art on this theme, so before anything else, thanks a lot !
However, I have two questions.
The first one being : I may have started non-winter art slightly before the Jam start, and although I don't intend at all to submit it, I used some of the sprites as a basis for a few of my winter-themed sprites. It's not "just" recolors, it all asked for more work in that I had to add snow, change color palettes, redo many details and such, overall shapes, etc.
It's only a part of the pixel art I'm doing, and I intend to follow the rules (it's my first ever jam too so it's really important for me as a very beginner dev' and artist), so I wanted to ask : Should I include or exclude these assets from the pack I plan to submit ? To be clear, they are my creation, all during the time frame of the jam, but some used sprites that may have been drawn slightly earlier (maybe, i'll have to check if needed) as a basis.
Also, second question, we are two people working on this small game and we're doing a few pixel art each and : is it ok to submit our work together, since they are meant to be for the same pack and would feel weird if in two separates submission ?
Thanks a lot for the attention, and I hope I'll be able to complete a good part of what's missing tomorrow and also add even more (it's really motivating, this jam existing is why I now have an almost functional beginning of a winter tileset). Thanks for the jam, too !
