(I guess I should at least start the topic so I can leave it dead until the end of the jam haha)
I'm working alone for this jam, kind of. I have a friend who is okay to do a little bit of music ^^
My goals are pretty simple : actually finish something. I technically did another jam before but I had no sense of scope and it wasn't even playable by the end. And also to have fun because yeah, having fun is fun.
I started with a bit of brainstorming around the theme, on paper (and in french sorry)
The game idea

So the game will be a roguelikelikelikelike (see definition in next pictures) where you explore the ocean to clean the plastics. But the thing is that you're limited in time because if you don't clean the ocean enough : plastics will break down and turn into microplastics. Then you won't be able to easily clean it anymore. Also jellyfishes are corrupted by plastics (idk it sounded fun).

Sorry, everything is in french. I'll make another post later to summarize all the ideas ^^
