Hello, I didn't receive an email, are they only being sent to people who got accepted?

Hi! I just got your email and responded. Everyone if they applied should've gotten an email. If you didn't receive an email, please reach out (though as mentioned dms are broken so sorry if it takes a bit for me to respond)

Hi I understand dsp isn't included, i wasn't interested in listing it either way but are there any other games made in wolf rpg editor or rpgmaker that aren't allowed to be included? Wanted to ask in advance before listing any that are already not gonna be allowed.

We don’t really have a list or anything. We’re just evaluating them as they come in. I recommend just listing the games you want to draw for as we won’t hold any of your entries against you. Also, some games aren’t included because of the creators’ rules around copyright (a popular one is Hylics), so you can check for that if you want to be extra careful.

this might sound a bit silly, but how many pitch concepts are okay to list? i have way too many, like a LOT but i dont wanna overcrowd if you'd prefer keeping it to a smaller minimum?

AAA I feel dumb I didn't notice you weren't including dsp games and I sent my form only thinking about them 😭😭 pain

For the zine itself, do you have an estimated word count range for writers? And when/how will writers and spot artists be paired together?

The limit for writers will be 1k words. Spot artists and writers will be paired in advance by moderators based on both of their answers in the application.

anon · 5mo

is there a discord for all of your zines?

No, apologies. Moderating a Discord takes a lot of work, and our hands are full with zine every year! I've considered making a newsletter or something, but even that is a lot of work. For now, the Twitter and Tumblr account feels like enough.

How many examples do we show for the application? The portfolio I mean.

There isn't really a specific number we have in mind... There should be enough to show breadth of your ability, so try not to have too few. It's better to have way too many than not enough.

HI I ALREADY APPLIED AND I DONT THINK I CAN EDIT, BTU DOES TO THE MOON COUNT......................

does little goody two shoes count as an rpg game for the zine?

Hello,, Hello, may I ask if we join, what do we get? Thank you ;w;

Our ultimate hope is to be able to fund sending a copy of the zine to all the contributors, but we can't predict if this will happen or not! We hope it does :-) Also, to clarify here in case anyone has missed it, zine is also for charity, so funds will be sent to a charity rather than being distributed among contributors. Right now we're looking at Help Gaza Children, but we're still researching

Are Deep Sea Prisoner games allowed? (I 100% understand if not, I am just asking before I submit my portfolio!)

anon · 5mo

Are our pitches in the application going to be the same as our pitches for the zine itself, or are they just to gauge interest in the variety of games people may want to draw?

We'll push your in the direction of the pitch if we really like it but it's also to gauge what people want to draw.

anon · 5mo

Would you be willing to include untranslated RPGmaker games, or is the focus solely on those that have received an official english translation?

Untranslated works are fine! I do recommend being more detailed regarding your pitch as we likely won't be super aware of the content in the game since all the mods are English speakers

Does our portfolio have to have fanarts of the RPG games or would it be alright to show more of the art we've created? (Personal art, etc)

It can be of art you've created for personal reasons. RPG Maker art is not a requirement and plenty of people don't have any RPG Maker art when they apply.

How strictly are you defining RPG maker games? I'd be interested in applying to create for a game made in Wolf RPG Editor, for instance, which I think occupies a very similar niche
