Hello! 💛

I have a question regards of the usage of assets:

For NaNoRenO I’m planning on creating another side story of my passion project “Under The False Sky” - for that I would like to reuse the same UI throughout the entire series. (For consistency etc.)

The assets aren’t really “publicly available” to use, but they weren't made specifically for the NaNoRenO entry either.’

Would I still be allowed to use them?

Here is the link to the mentioned side story, where the UI already appears in:

(If I were to make alterations of the UI or adjustments I would of course do it within the time frame of the jam.)

I hope I conveyed what I meant appropriately.

Best regards,

Ann

That's a bit of a grey area. If you want to be entirely strict about the rules, premade assets are out unless they're CC. However, you are absolutely allowed to update your game afterwards with your GUI (which is gorgeous, BTW!), so nothing's stopping you from using a placeholder of the same size for the duration of the month.

Ah, I see.

Well, that's troubling... Since this means I would have to make an entirely new UI. I really, really don't want to use some basic place holder just to update in the end and have people play with a low quality UI first. I would like to present a "finished produkt" at the end of the Jam after all...

(More work for me.. yaaay. Crunch, here I come.)

Would it be alright if the UI is similar to the one I made for the Winter VN Jam entry, to at least have consistency within the UI as well as to have less more work?

That's definitely fine!

Okey! Gotcha! I will do that then! ♥️
(Making a new UI similar to the previous one.)

Thank you so much for your quick answers!
