If you can package and are able to distribute the game with the software that sounds like it qualifies more as a package case in the rules which we'd be okay with... but out of curiosity can you share what software can't compile games? I'll chat with the other co-hosts because I'm a little curious what software this is that isn't Inform 7 or something similar.

Thanks. It's called Minetest and it can be used as a standalone game (it's the reason why I wasn't sure about rules) but it is also basically a game engine (you can even delete built-in game assets and still play games based on it, so that is basically what I want to do for standalone package).


I can package it with my game because it's free under license that allows redistribution and modification, as I said in my first post

A standalone game... ah yeah hmm this would be some pretty gray territory because that actually starts to sound like a mod? (And honestly from the example pages I'm seeing it looks like that too...) We're going to discuss this a little more since seems a little different from Minecraft and Roblox which we've ruled on in the past, but the distribution case here may allow an exception. Thanks for the info.

And thank you again for replies! If it won't be allowed, I am okay with that (just will feel awkward for wasting your time), but I hope this situation helps by itself as precedent in case someone else will have similar idea in future.

Hey sorry for the late reply! For this case we’ll go with yes. I may look more deeply to see if it will change in future jams but feel free to use it this jam!
