Heh you're right. What I ended up doing was making three games for it, 2 are already out. I decided I should try to please him first, then please this other person with the vampire game, then please myself for dice heavy. I wanted to honor the intent of the jam and the constraint. If I get the third one done, I'll put it out there too.
I really appreciate the feedback on the ideas/if it counts stuff. I was wrestling with it.
The reason I mentioned undying and alone on silver wings is because my first reaction was "hey that's not pbta" before I took a closer look.
