I'm a fairly 'intermediate' Unity programmer, with a few months worth of experience and knowledge on the Unity game engine. But that's not the point that I'm trying to make (I will be working alone). I'm still a little confused on the 'theme' / 'limitation' of this game jam. I do know that I have to make a game involving peace, but if I could have a few examples, so I can understand what the game jam accepts / what game I should try and achieve. Just a few aspects that the game should have :)
I've copied and pasted this from the jam page, let me know if this helps!
Avoid:
Acceptable:
Its really up to you, the theme is a guide and I'll rate games on how pacifist they are. but if the core mechanic is "dodge the spikes and don't die", prob not ideal. Maybe you can think of a different implementation of "if I collide with something, I need to start again". You can have things to avoid, try be creative. and if its just one bit of your game with spikes, then thats prob okay - its not a core mechanic in that case.
Heyo, for Dans game jam the type of games that come to mind is stuff like Thomas Was Alone, Florence & Slime Rancher (this one being a bit less pacifist considering the slimes eat the chickens! I don't think that counts :D). Hopefully that helps a bit.
Another one which is way more reaching but very interesting is Subnautica, the dev's made a point of avoiding guns & other weapons to try to push the player to focus on avoidance than confrontation.
