In my previous topic, I asked about using assets for a project that I was still in the planning phases for: https://aldrichacademy.ca/ while an answer was never completely given. I have come to accept that it's likely not allowed due to other people asking similar questions.
Here is my question...
Can I still do it anyways?
I'd like to create this project, completely following the rules- (using my assets) but removing myself from the running in prize. Should I be considered for prize, I would step down. I truly believe that my project, Aldrich Academy, could be one of the next big, best games, and this would be a wonderful opportunity to advertise it. (I'm looking at you Degica)
With that said, can I (starting when the contest begins) create my project as though I were part of the contest (following the rules, but using my assets) and submit it when completed, but exclude myself from the prize?
