BANLIST FAQ
| What does "The Vast World" mean by changing/unchanging | It means you cannot have the same ground, same obstacles, etc. for the whole playtime. |
| Do I have to follow the bans | Yes. |
| What if my game doesn't have stats? | It says OR, so if your game DOES have stats it can't be set and unchanging. |
| Does my game have to be never-ending? | Themes don't have to apply to just your game loop, it can also apply to story. |
| Character creator? | Sure, go for it. As long as your character visuals are changeable it's fine |
| What does conservation of energy one mean? | If you add upgrades into your game, just don't let players get infinite. Come up with solution. |
| Why did you add the bans bro | To stop overused tropes that come along with the theme (I confirmed the ban list before i chose the theme) |
Any kind of game is okay! But always remember that it needs to fit the theme.
