Just spitballing at the moment, but I like the concept of playing a tiny little robot exploring a long dead world of overgrown cities. The threats would be killbot type things. Your goal is to collect as many functioning devices that contain footage or journals of the humans who once lived here so that you can compile a museum/library of human memories.

I’m experimenting with a Zelda-inspired dungeon crawler where instead of beacons, players seek out dungeon entrances on the world map. After entering one, the player breaks out a separate (likely customized) dungeon deck with its own tri-fold.

Of course, I’m already getting ambitious with additional ideas, but if that plays as intended I’ll be quite happy.

Hey! 

I've got two in mind, right off the bat. One working off Metroid Prime since...Metroidvania inspired gameplay. And another based off the anime Mushi Shi.

This is going to be a lot of fun!

I'm thinking of drawing from a non metroidvania game. Specifically Frostpunk, you're a lone person/group (tbd) using the limited available resources to reignite the beacons and thaw out a great ice age that took over the land.

I'm really excited for this Jam! I'm thinking of doing something a little... Safe? Going to do a twist on the Dark Souls 3 storyline of awakening Lords of Cinders to reignite the First Flame, but you're a Firekeeper and it's... slightly less "Chosen Undead beats up a lot of Guys" and more navigating that role of catalyst and diplomat almost. 

We'll see! I'm giving myself two weeks to "play around and have fun" after LORDSWORN finishes as a mental reset! 

I'm excited to make something that's Guided by Firelights!   

The idea of mine I like the most at the moment is that the player is an agent of an interstellar nation who has vital information to destroying an enemy superweapon. However, they get stuck in an ancient, massive space station that prevents FTL travel in the region, so they have to shut down all the dampeners to be able to escape and save their nation.   Sort of Star Wars meets Metroid, but with a bit of a Hyper-Light Drifter vibe.

one idea I have is Fern Gully but the fairies are mushrooms...because I read a study about how some mycelium and certain plants clear pollution and it would be cool to see that in fantasy form...

another idea I have is a bit darker and deals with someone wanting to get proof (photo or video) of different cryptids in Appalachia but running into Men in Black (btw they aren't as fun as the MiB movies if you read the original stories), aliens abducting people, hunters looking for weird trophies, etc. 

I'm thinking a weird fantasy setting where you are a clown/harlequin/jester gathering your troupe back together (the goals). Trying to wrap my head around mechanics now, along with a way to incorporate the jokers. Have a few ideas but need to let it bake for a bit.

I'm thinking about a surreal horror game in which you are a Keeper in the Dreamlands. Your goal is to guide and protect the sleepers while fighting Nightmares, Sleep Paralysis creatures and/or recurring bad dreams (i.e. teeth falling out), so they can have a good sleeptime. Inspired by artists like Zdzisław Beksiński, H. R. Giger and Salvador Dalí.

haven't quite joined yet but im considering making a game from the perspective of the last human alive on earth, because he is immortal. The danger will most likely be the environment
