Hey! What sort of mask did you have in mind? Like a full-face? Half-face? A surgical one?

i was thinking a full face mask!

if a full mask isn’t allowed:

- have a single alternate movement of a single body part that is drawn differently (head, single arm) so long as it doesn’t change the pose, and so long as the VN does not also use the allowed “extra item”

my character is a humanoid animatronic, so instead of a full mask perhaps i can make it so that the face has a hinge and it can swing open (not animated, just the head drawn differently)? while everything else remains static (i am planning to splice up the sprite to manipulate the parts separately via code). would it technically be counted as not changing the pose? thank you!

Personally, I think this would be a good idea and it'd be in the spirit of the jam. So yeah, go ahead with this!

We just want people to make a simple game, you see. So we're hesitant about animations with many frames, etc. 

alright thank you!!

hello again! i would like to ask another further clarification,

You can:

  • use Text-To-Speech without impact on any audio limits

does this mean we are allowed to use text-to-speech for other spoken lines even though we already have one voice actor? thank you!

Hi! What are you trying to achieve with this?

Text-to-speech is meant to be used for accessibility purposes.

ahh i see! i was referring to the usage of online TTS generators like this https://www.tetyys.com/SAPI4/ to generate lines not voiced by the voice actor !

If you're trying to use TTS to voice several characters, that would be a no. TTS is meant to be used for accessibility purposes and not to bypass the VA limit. We ask people as well to use the TTS in-engine if possible.

But I'd like to remind you  that you can have 1 VA, but the VA can technically do several voices. They're not limited to just the one, you know?

gotcha! thank you for reply !
