1. What are limitations on fonts? My game has an exhausting amount of text, so I'm trying to decide on a readable font,  and the best ones I have (Open Sans or Comic Neue) didn't exactly come with my computer. It's not a game resource, so not sure where that sits.

2. My art software comes with default assets loaded in (e.g. colourful dreamy circle masks, speed lines, etc.) Are these an extension of the freedom to use any art software? They are...my Clip Studio Paint RTP, if you will.

3. You didn't write anything about this in the rules and I just saw a thread about it where the back-and-forth was a little confusing; so it's okay to use my own assets as long as they're publically available? I used the sprites I made from my pack and spent a huge chunk of time drawing up 8-directional movement for this project. Making sprites takes so much time I would have to drop out of the jam if it isn't allowed, so it's panic-inducing.

1. As it stands, fonts have to either be made by hand (tedious, we know) or the fonts that comes with RMMZ. Let us get back to you on this ASAP... we may change that since we hadn't considered it. For now, please bank on using what comes with RMMZ or creating your own.

2. You can use the tool to create assets, but not the assets that come with the tool.

3. We actually answer this question right here. If the pack you linked us is a free community available resource, you can use it, even if you've already created it. If this is something you've always had private, or had it private prior to the game jam, you cannot use it.

Hopefully, that helps!

Got back on #1. Go ahead and use whatever font is free. There is no reason to limit that.

Ammending the main rules.

Phew, I go scared for a second here since my Title screen has custom free font. Thanks for clarifying that :)
