Hey there virtual neighbor! How do you like this jam? Have any thoughts, suggestions, questions, or tea to dish? Then let us know!
Hi !
This will be my first rainbow game-jam, and i have a question.
When i first read the jam description, i got the idea of-what-i-wanna do in a minute, but i'm afraid that it could be a little off-bounds.
This will be (if i succeed) a game about walking on a forbidden-grass, and walking your own way.
I intend to do a print-it-yourself card-game (wich is not the more narrative medium).
My concern is : the relation with the theme is of course metaphorical and creative (i'm making rules to match my first idea ("nobody should tell you where and how you should walk"). But it don't talk literally about a queer experience, and the same lack of literallity can be pointed if all games must be "stories untold".
So... is metaphor okay ? For me it's still about queer and minorities, but i would understand completly if it does not fall (huhu) in the boundaries for this jam...
(First bonus points for the pun, good job.)
Secondly I've tried not to be super strict on rules because I do want that creativity. If when you submit the game you can explain how it relates to the theme or the Jam or both I'll take it. A lot of things I've enjoyed playing the most have been abstract so I'm not about to shut that avenue down as long as it's with in reason
Annnnd... done !
I really finished this one at the last moment possible (cause i'll be far from internet for the week end).
A 100 card game ! All of them differents ! To print yourselves ! (okay, this last one is a bummer, but i made the files easy to print : )
As ever with game-jams, it lack a lot of testing (and might change in the futur because of that), but as few as they where, tests where fun and works !
Don't hesitate to ask question and add remarks.
