Thanks. I'm not a good artist. But, being able to trace the outer shape will make it easier for me to create something. Of course, I will only stick to pubic domain tracing as I'm not an expert on copyright law. So I suggest only allowing tracing of something that you have a right to reuse.  You wouldn't want YouTube to shutdown the live stream.

I do have some more clarification questions.  Over at the RPG Maker Forums: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/rpg-maker-mz-official-english-s...

They release the sample games Wolf's Gang  and Winds Rhapsody.  And they said that you are allowed to reuse the elements of those games in your game. And there was at least one plugin (RMMZ Picture Anchor) that was included with Wolf's Gang , that I wanted to use. Since the rules say I can use any free plugin (And I'm sure this one is an MZ plugin); I wanted to make sure I could use this one. I don't know the origin of this plugin. But I'm assuming it's a free plugin. I just don't want to be disqualify because I made an assumption.  

Though if anyone does know the author of that plugin, let me know. I want to make sure I include it in my credits.

You said you get back to me on the "frankensteining. Thanks.

But I did have a question about tracing (Which I don't think counts as Frankenstein, so  that's why I'm asking this question). Tracing is where you put the picture under a layer and then draw on top of it on other layer. That away, you never use the original picture. Of course, if that is allowed, I'll limited to public domain.  As I'm not sure on the copyright laws of tracing pictures. 

Plus, when it does come time to stream the games, are we going to know when our game is up. I want to do my best to turn in when that is happening. Though, if it's later at night, and not on Saturday, I think I will be okay. 

thanks.

This is my first game. So I'm not sure how to post my finish game. Or how to packages my game before uploading it. I'm assuming I will place my finish game in a Zip file, and upload to a submission form. Or more likely to our itch account and post a like to a submission form?

What format should the archive folder be. I have 7-Zip. But it can still package to a  Zip format. 

I'm assuming if we are placing the games on our Itch page, we should set the price to $0, without any Donation enable. This part of the rules were not stated. So I'm not sure what is and what is not allowed.

Thanks

Rule 6 reads a little awkward. There is an "Or" after the text that has been place in parenthesis. So, I just want to make sure I understand  what text the "Or" is referring to (just in case, I assumed wrong). 

We can create our only assets?  What limitations are placed on the assets we create?  

  • If I find a Free Public Domain photo and modified it, is that allowed? 
  • If I take a Free Public Domain photo and trace over it, is that allowed?
  • Can we modify the default assets, including adding extra gradients? 

Also, can you post the list of Default RPG MZ Assets we are allowed to use. I already placed my DLC content into the default project folder. I'm sure I can find all the extra content and removed them, I just want to make sure I didn't missing anything.  A list would allow me to remove anything that might slip by.  

So, I'm assuming that by only allow to use of Free Plugins we can't use any of the VisuStella Plugins that cost money. Like the Wave 2 plugins.  (I'm just pointing this out because people may not realise that some of her plugins cost money.)

One other things. Since you mentioned that this is a MZ contest, are we limited to only MZ Plugins. I know that some of the Yanfly Plugins seem to work (as seen in a Driftwood Video.)  And I have no idea how to modify any plugins to work with MZ.  (I thought I would point this out. Doesn't matter to me.)

Thanks
