Can I back out if I can't do the challenge?

"Can't" is a strong word, I know. I really love the theme of this game jam and want it to be my first official game jam. I believe I could easily create a game with all of the challenges except for No Design and Windows Window. I've only minimally worked with proc gen and I don't have enough time to learn before the jam starts, and while I probably could figure out how to make a game mechanic by moving the game window, I'm worried about potential stress of trying to get that to work.

I don't want to be blacklisted from my first jam if I can't make the cut. I just want to have fun and challenge myself without too much stress. <3

Has there ever been a blacklist? I’m trying to join to, but if I can’t make it, I’m expecting to just not win, not to be blacklisted from future jams. All in all I know one can choose to exit at any time before submissions end.

I have been informed that game jams don't usually have blacklists and the previous jams I've been in with groups that had blacklists are not the norm. >.>

Excellent! Then there’s one fewer reason to stress about. I hope you do get to participate and have fun!
