This is not a jam where you make a game. This is a jam where you make everything else.

We're talking instruction booklets, concept art, soundtracks, readme files, strategy guides, character build FAQs; whatever and however far you want to take it, without actually having something playable. After looking through what you've made, people should be only able to play your game in their daydreams.

It's not about rankings or competition or even finishing anything. It's about taking an idea for a game and doing literally everything else regarding it that doesn't involve making the actual game.

OPTIONAL THEME: Mundane. Games are a form of escapism, but we aren't here to make actual games. Explain the foods available and why people eat them, create trade agreements between your fictional empires that stretch back centuries; don't be afraid of what's boring.
