How does your concept engage in the jam's themes?
'Drop' emphasises the power of community, fluidity, and deep understanding of the ocean, presenting non-human climate justice stories and encouraging inter-species collaboration.
Use of Theme / Inspiration
We like the idea of presenting a nuanced view of the environment that doesn't shy away from the brutality, but that also presents solutions - we're doing this in 'Drop' by encouraging a collective shift of perspective away from individualism towards oneness with the rest of the world.

Love your idea of the perspective of the player as a drop of water playing with the idea of environmental dominance. The art style is playful yet mysterious which is perfect to what you're going for. I would recommend having the encounters and story aspects planned out sooner rather than later to ensure they're all cohesive to the story of this droplet. This gives me "We Have To Go Deeper" vibes with the style of game you're going for and I love it! I can't wait to see how this develops!
This Ideation is very well done! I love the concept art and the overall vibes, but I am curious as to how the generative art will work with this concept. Also: I think there needs to be a little more concentration as to how this drop of water changes the narrative of global climate change. Either way, I can't wait to see what comes out of this ideation!
I really like this idea, taking an issue such as climate change and creating such a beautiful relaxing scenery game isn't something I expected but I'm already looking forward to it. The ideation is also very fleshed out which is a great start.
Very cool idea, and a nicely scoped one! I am very excited to see someone to work on telling the marine life side of climate change. Very excited to see how this goes!
