So, I'm thinking of making a Caltrop Core game with some journaling aspects about trying to avoid Hollowing. It will *heavily* abstract combat, but I feel like my favorite part of DS2 was the recurrent cycle of memory and how that built into the metanarrative of multiple kingdoms all fighting one another, and we all love the Crestfallen Warrior, right? 

Also this is my first time doing a game jam so I have no idea how it'll go. Maybe great! Maybe awful! We'll see!

I don't care much for caltrop core but I think journalling and abstract combat are a great idea! Good luck!

I actually really like the journaling part. It's certainly something not particularly touched upon in the games itself, as you're practically never at risk yourself of becoming Hollow. Excited to see how it turns out!

Can't wait to see it

Holy crap, I made a game.

And someone bought it.

I think I like this weird fuzzy feeling. My first time making something for this site aside from offering to edit/proofread someone's TTRPG, and this is...Phew. This was a great experience, and I wanna thank the organizers for putting it all together.
