So... I have a question. Or two.
My design I consider to be (among others) in the survival genre, but it puts a heavy spin on it - no zombies or monsters, no crafting, no diseases or wound treating... BUT it has hunger and scavenging for food and shelter, trying to protect yourself from weather and enemies, (and trying to collect and care for a group of allies), and yes, surviving in what's basically a hostile environment is the key goal. Does this still count as a valid entry to the jam?
Also, is it okay if my game requires the use of gamepad and can't be played any other way?
Thanks for your response.
P.S. I tend to miss gamejam deadlines anyway so it might not be that important after all.
