I put this out there on Twitter, but this is my first game jam and I'm already over-committed to other projects as-is, so I'm just dipping my toes, a bit. 

I'm thinking about making a pixel art hexpack, at the very least. I've been really inspired by the aesthetic and color palettes of games like MORK BORG, Mothership, and UVG, but I've also been inspired by just replaying old video games. There's something kind of neat about seeing really complex ideas and characters abstracted and distilled down to an 8-bit icon of some kind. I think there's ways to make a pixel/retro aesthetic translate to a hex art pack, and do so in a modular, easily customizable way for me as a creator. 

If I find myself being more ambitious, I'd like to try to craft some version of a character sheet/record in hex form. /shrug

I haven't read The Frequency, but when I was looking at the preview page with the cryptic-looking hex map of the city, my initial thought was that it was some kind of tool to keep track of where the Character was in 'tuning'. A kind of visual representation of dimensional frequency space, if that makes sense. So one of the concepts I'm rolling around right now is using hex maps to map non-physical things. I'm starting to wonder if it's one of those ideas that sounds cooler in the abstract than in any concrete implementations, though.
