Thanks again to everyone who submitted theme suggestions! All in all, we received a total of 63 different themes! Now that the suggestion period is over, everyone participating in the jam will have a chance to sort through all of them and vote on their favorites!

Theme voting will be similar to Ludum Dare in that it will take place over a series of rounds. Each round, participants can choose their top 4 favorites from a selection of the themes.

  1. Round 1  has ended. You can view the results below.
  2. Round 2 has ended. You can view the results below.
  3. Round 3 has ended. You can view the results below.
  4. Round 4 has ended. The theme will be posted to the jam page roughly 5 min before the Jam starts. You’ll be able to view the results below shortly after the jam starts.

The final round (Round 4) will consist of the top 4 picks from each previous round. The winning theme will be kept secret until the time the jam starts on October 5th.

This post will update each time a new round starts with a link to where you can submit your votes for that round.

Because itch.io doesn't have a system set up to handle this, I'll be using Google Forms. Each form will be limited to 1 response and will require you to sign into a Google account in order to use it.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!

Below are the results for Round 1 of voting.

The winning themes from this round are:

  • The sun is dead
  • Tarot Cards
  • We are not alone
  • Avoiding work
  • Endless Odyssey

These themes will advance to the final round (Round 4). Since the last 2 themes tied, they will both advance.

There were, however, a number of accounts that I was unable to verify as being a part of the Jam. So, I went back and took out their votes just to see if it would affect the outcome...

And, luckily, it did not!

Thanks again to everyone who suggested themes and voted on them! Good luck and have fun during the Jam!
