I wanted to join this until the whole you can't use public/free resources at all and everything has to be custom. Like even sfx. I thought that's pretty D: considering it's just a week of development. (I wouldn't have mind the whole custom thing but man, I really hate making SFX)
Oh, it gets better. Those custom graphics have to be made during the event. SFX don't have to be new, but you do have to be allowed to use them.
Edit: Never mind. Take a look at the games on their website. I think I'll participate. (dusts off my copy of Carmilla)

Yeah they should allowed to use stock resources. Even if it only Open source or Public Domain. It would be much easier especially since there is a ton of Public domain resources release from Commonly.cc
But I think Any Game engine is allowed as long as it available to the public for free. Unity or Starling are also allowed.
Fonts and sampled instruments are excepted with the rules and also Content generators are allowed.
So depending if your an individual or a group this is really possible to complete.
According to the FAQ they only putting this rules up to make things fair for people who make custom resources. But they should do it a month if this rule is imposed.
Well good luck for people who are joining. Hopeful the creativity is in your favor.

Yeah, I thought it was weird that it's a game competition centered around the public domain and you're not allowed to use public domain resources. Like, I would think that it would be a lot funner if the goal was to make an entire game out of only public domain resources.
