If you have questions outside of the other 10 Topics I’ve made then please ask them here.

Please ask any questions about Rule 1: Working & Planning

1.You can only work on your project during the month of May

• Brainstorming, Plot Outlining, Sketching (that does not lead to direct production of assets), Team Building, Photo Taking & Creative-Commons/Licensed Asset Collecting before the jam starts is allowed.
• You’re encouraged to learn and experiment with different skills and story/gameplay mechanics before May.

Please ask any questions about Rule 2: Releasing & Updating

2.Submissions will be taken during the month of May.

• Promotional images and descriptions on the itch.io page can be altered during the Jam Rating Phase.
• If you want your Submission to be part of the Jam Rating Phase in June then don’t add more content nor fix bugs/typos/glitches until the Rating Phase is over.

Please ask any questions about Rule 3: Story Requirements

3.Your submission must fulfill all of the following specifications:

• Use—at minimum—one of the (premade Wolves) OR (draw yourself or commision someone else to draw your own wolf OC) OR (draw/commission someone else’s wolf OC while having explicit permission to use them from the owner.)
• Have a wolf, or wolves, be a prominent character—protagonist NOT included—to the overall narrative for the majority of the story.
• Have a word count between 2,000–25,000 words.
  • If stories are first written in languages with low space usage, such as Thai, then we’ll go off of an approximation based off of a theoretical English translation.
• Either be (an Original IP) OR (a side-story, prequel, sequel, midquel, etc to an established IP you own or have explicit permission to use from the owner.)

Please ask any questions about Rule 4: AI

4.No AI generated or AI assisted assets.

Please ask any questions about Rule 5: Law & Ethics

5.Don’t violate any of itch.io’s TOS while making the Visual Novel and don’t make yourself reasonably vulnerable to a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) takedown by infringing on serious copyrights. Don’t commit war crimes such as violating the Geneva Conventions.

• Additionally, avoid any glorification of sexual violence or infantilization in the Visual Novel. Do not have a recent history of such glorifications.

Please ask any questions about Rule 6: Free

6.The Jam Submission must be made free to download.

Please ask any question about Rule 7: Translation Patches

7.Submissions don’t have to be in English but it is strongly encouraged to have an English translation/patch before the rating phase ends.

• For example, if you release a VN in German, you can work on and release an English translation/patch during the rating phase. If you add such versions, make sure those comply with Rule 3.a.

Please ask any questions about Rule 8: Porting.

8.Submissions need at least a Windows Version but releasing other Operating System versions before the rating phase ends is strongly recommended.

• Same policy for uploading new versions as the previous rule.

Please ask any questions about the licensing of the Premade Sprites.

Ask any questions on the Age Requirement for the Jam.

Team has been found.

Since my PC broke about a week ago, I’m not able to do the solo idea I had for NovemBEAR.

If anyone needs a Writer, Editor, Proofreader, Montana Nature Photographer, Licensed Assets Finder, Very Amateur Voice Actor or Rudimentary Ren’Py Programming Assistance, I’ll be able to help from my phone. I think the most complicated thing I can program from my phone is LayeredImages.

Okie dokie. Thank you.

Can they also come in .flac for those that want to use them at a lossless quality?

When do you plan on uploading them? As they are finished or all at once?

I know Arcadia said she plans on making 4 characters total but how many music tracks does Camazule plan on having for the Jam?

Where did you get the backgrounds?

Thank you.

Yes, Grange.

Can I use Red Panda Bear, Koala Bear or Bearcat to fulfil the Rule 1 requirement?

Someone made a spiritual successor to your VN a year ago that ended up getting 5’th a Furry Visual Novel Jam.

Is there any way for me to DM you?

The issues have been resolved. Beginning Anew With You is Requalified.

• I’m going to be honest, I’ve barely the slightest idea of what is going on. And yet, I really started getting into it for some reason?

That sounds like my experience playing XC2 for the first time until I got about halfway Chapter 4.

I have now looked the the 1.1 version.

The AI Generated Image has been removed.

Creative Commons/Royalty Free images have replaced the previous problematic images; however, there a few issues with those Creative Commons images. Mostly regarding the lack of a direct attribution, that I have explained privately to the creator.

Beginning Anew With You will remain Disqualified until those Creative Commons issues are resolved but the Rejection Deadline has been lifted due to a good show of progress.

I have given Beginning Anew With You a Temporary Disqualification due two issues:

1. One background used is a blurred AI Generated image from https://www.freepik.com/premium-ai-image/rustic-cottagestyle-kitchen-with-modern-appliances-wooden-cabinetry-copper-accents_44781533.htm . This violates Rule 9 of the Jam.

2. Multiple backgrounds used are not custom made, Creative Commons/Royalty Free or some other license. This violates itch.io policies regarding Copyright and therefore Rule 13 of the Jam.

Please replace these images with those that you have the right to use. If you are confused about any of these terms that I am using or would like some advice about finding images to replace the problematic ones with, then please DM me on Discord.

You have 72 hours to fix these issues otherwise you will be Rejected from the Jam along with other punishments we are within our rights to pursue. Once again, if you need any clarifications or assistance regarding this, then please DM me on Discord.

Yeah, I don’t think I tested the NVL on Android at all but hey, at least the HISTORY can save people. sad uwu

You don’t have to delete this comment. Itch.io likes engagement via comments for the algorithm. happy uwu

Thank you. I’ll fix these in July. Cardigan showed me that I have been doing NVL wrong this entire time.
