Question relating to the Game Jam theme/rules: 

Do Game Jam submissions have to be first person 3D games that artistically resembly Postal 2 or Is It permitted to make 2.5D games that resemble the original POSTAL and Postal Redux as long as It has the protestor theme? I plan on making my own engine from scratch but thought I'd double check In case someone else Is wondering the same thing as me, In rule 1 of the guidelines It says 'they should be made entirely from scratch', does this refer to the engine as well or only the game?

They can be anything, FPS, TPS, RPG, etc etc. As mentioned in the main page, the theme isn't manditory but it does provide extra points for those who use it.

The entirely from scratch part doesn't include engine and some software that can be used to aid you (as long as it's properly credited of course).

Best of luck!

Thank you! I look forward to participating this year, I was already In the process of making an engine so this will be good encouragement to finish It quicker. I wish that the voting process Is good fun for everyone at RWS and best of luck to the other contenders.
