Hello, and welcome to my thawing jam!
This is a fun concept for a jam that I really wanted to see, so I'm going to invite all of you lovely devs to join in on what is hopefully a fun and relaxing time.
THE THEME:
For this jam, you will be given the first half of a prompt, this will be the main idea for you to start building some prototypes for you to incorporate a caveat that will be introduced later on. The first theme of the Thawing Jam will be: "KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE, BUT WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW, WHO CAN YOU TRUST?"
Your game should need you to gain some form of knowledge, but There is Deception about
A few ideas on how to work with the initial theme of finding knowledge:
- Interviews/Discussions with people, but there is a traitor among you
- searching in a database/library, but there is misinformation abound
- intercepting and decrypting messages, but the enemy might find out and can lead you into a trap
Jam Rules:
- You are allowed to work in any sized team or solo
- Jam entries must meet the given theme and caveat (it's the main point of the jam)
- All code and assets that you have previously made or otherwise have the rights to can be used
- You may use previous projects that you've abandoned at an early stage, but please don't just tweak a near-finished or published product
Jam Timeframe:
Once you've finished reading all of this, get to work on your prototypes. once the caveat is revealed on the spring solstice, you can start finding ways to add it to your game and flesh it out until March 28th at 10:00 AM PST
