i did a game jam 2 weeks ago (https://jacobsmith3204.itch.io/antiverous)
and i would like to expand on it. its not currently a metroidvania but it was an idea i had written down in my design documents as well as a greater emphasis on story. with the extra motivation that would be gained by entering another jam i think i could flesh it out and expand upon it turning it into a pretty cool metroidvania game.
what if i polished the assets, better artwork and audio, so it would technically be like a new game? i was planning on rewriting the code to optimise it anyway as well as allowing new features.
"General purpose code, designing, bases and models, placeholders, and story can be made before the start of the jam"
think of it as a placeholder demo/prototype which i will now be turning into its own game.
I'll ask you not. You already have a base to work on, a demo. That's already more than what people who started today have. I took a look at your game, and to me, it doesn't seem like a prototype, and it's even well made for a one week jam. So if you want to participate in the jam, please start with a new game.
