Hello, is it allowed to have more than one choice of “extra item” to be added to the sprite, but only one is ultimately added depending on the player choice? The “extra items” will be displayed as part of the BG art at first, and when player has chosen one, the one will appear on the sprite. Thank you!

Hey! The rule for the one item only was implemented so people don't overwork themselves. We're inclined to say no to this, especially if the item would be a separate drawing from the one in the BG. I'd want more clarification about this, because if  it'd be the case of having the 3 items floating in the BG and then one of them disappearing from the BG and appearing on the character, that'd be an absolute "not allowed".

That was the initial idea, but now that I know it's not allowed, what if the extra items don't appear in the BG, but only as player input text (or player choice as part of the story text - haven't decided)? When the player inputs/chooses the right item, then the one item appears on the sprite. Is that allowed?

Hi, let me clarify this! The rules are about the overall content of the game (specifically, what’s in the files).

You can’t have 3 items, even if only one is shown. It’s not about how what appears in each playthrough, it’s about how much work you put into the game.

Ah ok, got it, thank you!
