Hi All,

I have a video scheduled on my Youtube channel that should go live at the start of the Gamejam which announces the theme. We'll update the gamejam page shortly afterwards, and we'll answer any theme related questions in this topic!

Cheers,

Bas

Hi, I can not find the YouTube video regarding the theme of the game jam. Could you tell me more about it?

Here's the link:

@nicwonderland it went live at the start of the jam so probably Youtube hadn't made it visible yet

Thanks @andyman404 for posting it:)

Ok everyone, 

So the theme we choose is "Vapor":

You can interpret this as broadly as you wish, it will be very interesting to see how people adapt that to their game jam design.

While it would seem straight forward to go for volumetric fog effects and such, be warned that it is effects like these that generally don't work well in VR, especially stand alone VR as they can be very GPU intensive. This will be a matter of thinking outside the box. Go for a stylised look, good use of (transparent) textures, particle effects, etc.

Good luck everyone!
