Theme Announcement! Sticky

Here are the themes!

  • Tiny World
    • Does the game all take place in a confined area like a single house or mansion? How about a low-rez art style? Maybe the game all takes place on an island?! Ant colony?
  • Control is Limited
    • Does the player always get to control their character? Does your gun's scope sometimes wobble? Maybe your input controls are "limited" to just one or two buttons.
  • One Tool, Many Uses
    • Think multi-purpose design! Maybe your garden hose can both water plants and defend from zombies? Or your rocket engines act as both a thrust and a flamethrower.

Remember, the themes are optional and you don't have to use all three! Treat them as limitations to help you focus on coming up with interesting ideas with a limited scope.

Good luck and have fun!!

Great themes! Good choices Jon. My group is off to do some brainstorming now!

Awesome! Can't wait to see what you come up with :D

Hi Jon! I had a quick question. Would it be ok if the game is for example a demo or episodic with extra content to come through in future :)

Cheers, Aidan

Hi Aidan! You can submit anything as long as it has a price tag on it. No Free games though :]

Hey is it cool if I were to upload the game on another website if I ended up liking it enough?

Eg; Gamejolt, Steam, etc;

Host

Of course, it's your game :)

Okay thanks!

Quick question.

Is it ok if I make some sort of demo that can be played from browser?  Seeing how my game is divided in levels I feel it shouldn't take much time to build a demo with only 2 of 3 playable levels to maybe spark some interest in full game. Than again is there even a point for that if everyone rating the game will get a key anyway :D

A free demo sounds perfectly reasonable and hey, people outside of the jam can play it so it's still useful.
