I think the whole theme of this game jam works against this idea.  They're obviously looking for games that push the engine, and defy the stereotypes regarding the engine.

Let's refrain from attack-language. While there are indeed games created in this engine that are obviously of low-quality, that is true of every game engine in existence. A cursory glance on Steam would reveal as much.

The point of this Game Jam is for each developer to create the very best possible game that they can while using RPG Maker MZ... to stretch their abilities beyond their normal limits. The judges will decide which of those games are the "best of the best", and they will be published on Steam.

It is exceedingly unfair to accuse the judges, as well as Komodo, from publishing "garbage", as if to insinuate that (1) a game using default assets is automatically trash, or (2) that the judges (each who are highly qualified in this engine) would be lackadaisical in their decisions.

Instead, let's all focus on making the best games that we can make.
