Does the game need to be created within the duration of when submissions are open? And do we need to use our own created assets made within the submission time?
Probably.
Yes and yes. Two different fonts are provided under the “Resources” page but so far that is it.
ok cool, new to game dev so i'm excited for this :D
Awesome to hear! This is a great jam for a new dev. I am looking forward to playing your game!
