I take back my harsh phrasing. "Within the rules" is the operative phrase here. I also like how you said fun is on the chopping block, NOT art skills. I'll take a step back and reconsider what a Game Jam should be. The ones I did in college were in person, and the skillsets were pretty 50/50 art and code, so making a team was expected. They also had comparable skill levels, so nobody blew anyone out of the water. This Jam by comparison has a pretty huge skill level spectrum, so I get whiplash from people sharing their first game ever and then to this one, which looks incredible and the polish blew me away.
