As I said, they're rules of thumb. Not the official ones for this particular jam

Dunno if this is a troll question, but here are some rules of thumb for jam submissions:
- Give credit where it's due
- If your game will be open source, make sure that the assets are the type the creators are probably okay with having released to the public for free
- Meaning NO paid assets
- If there's a license, make sure to go through it carefully
- If you're still unsure, contact the creators
- No M-rated content
- Limit yourself to T
- Limit your team size to 5 people
- Too many chefs ruins the dish
- No AI-generated content
- Follow the TOS of whatever platforms are involved with your project
- For example... if you'll release the game on Itch, follow the Itch TOS. If your game's in a Github repo, follow the Github TOS

As someone who made a shopkeeper sim before, this jam feels like it'd be right up my alley ^^ Though I'm up for creating non-shopkeep games too.
Nice! I particularly like the art style and music ^^ Text could use polish here and there. Some suggestions:
- "Please find out who killed Foxy Detective" -> "Please find out who killed Foxy, Detective!"
- The orig was missing a comma, making it sound like the word "Foxy" was being used as an adjective to describe "detective". It was also missing an exclamation mark (or if you'd prefer, a period) at the end.
- You know the part in the notepad about Foxy bringing strange items? I think it'd be best to have that in its own bullet point.
- "Welcome detective, I'm glad that you got to our little village so quickly." -> "Welcome, detective. I'm glad that you have arrived at our little village so quickly."
- Felt it'd be best to split this in two. It felt like the orig was using "Welcome" as an adjective for "detective".
Glad you got to making this compilation! For user-friendliness, you might want to put the pack on BandCamp and embed it on here like Sonatina does with her albums. For example: https://sonatina.itch.io/fortunata
The idea is to make it so people can listen to the tracks before deciding to download the pack
This has a calm feeling indeed. Makes me imagine a main character visiting a lake at night to sort out their thoughts. Right as they get there, they happen to see a beautiful lady bathing in it. The former then falls in love with the latter... Man, your music is pretty good at stirring the imagination xD
