Hey, I'm planning to fully commit to this jam and make something wild that also has an equally wild story based off of the theme.
If there are any artists or playtesters interested, DM me on discord or tell me your preferred way of communicating 763246009895616544 (also wow I did not see the new id change for discord like this lol)
I have a few ideas in mind, I won't go into them too much but they're just ideas I would like to explore.
- An Xcom style tactical game where all of the squad mates use the same healthbar (to show how they're a team and to lead to less narrative dissonance).
- A 2.5D roguelite fps that has 90º dungeon crawler movement but fast paced shooter gameplay.
- A metroidvania presented as a survival game where almost every walkable surface is covered in spikes and you need to walljump to reach areas (i imagine it would have a post-apocalyptic story in mind)
It's just a few ideas in my head, but obviously it could all change to something new when the jam starts. Again 763246009895616544 on discord! Cya.
Edit: also if you're an artist, I won't worry about the kind of artstyle you can do, anything works in my opinion and will make it feel more personal to your tastes. That being said if you are able of doing a variety of many different artstyles, that would be great! (I think it would be cool to use many different artstyles for the game)
