I dont understand the theme of the Jam. Do we have to mke a game abound a dice that gives deverent powers or do we have to roll a dice in ral life and use the power we get for the game?

How would the game track what you rolled in real life? Ofcourse in-game

Nur is the Theke auboug dices or  about a dice wiche gives you 3 defferent powers?I don’t understand the task

you roll a dice, if you roll 1 or 2 you loose power, if you roll 3 or 4 you keep your power, if you roll 5 or 6 you gain power

Host

There 3 possible themes in this jam and you are rolling to pick your theme to base your game on.


Find a 6 side dice, then if you roll a 1 or 2, your theme is “gain power”, if you roll a 3 or 4, your theme is “retain power” and if you roll a 5 or 6, your theme is “lose power.”

Hope that helps :)

Im so glad I read this because I definetly thought that the theme was about rolling dice in a game and the dice rolls happened in game which influenced power in the game

I'd say that you could understand it that way.

It may also have to do with doing barrel-rolls, or some other kind of special movement. In my experience, game jam themes are not there to restrict you, but to see how far people can stretch them without losing them. Bold interpretations, if get to fit the theme, are best (IMO) than the most obvious ones.


In this case, the theme is quite explicit, tho. But, why not to implement the roll within the game itself, so it accomplishes the three themes at once? I still think there is room to be playful.

Thanks Body!
