Hello,
My game's project is inspired by a phenomena known as "Hikikomori" (for widthdrawal in Japan society). For those who never heard about it, it is someone who retrieving, and finally leaving the society, usually staying at home most of their time. This key-word research would lead you to more information, if you're interested.
The main character would be a girl whose role is to help these people come back to a "normal" life. (from the "rent-a-sister" proceed)
She could interact with different characters - with atypical background - by asking questions, giving advice, and offering gifts.
They're would probably be an old man with Alzeihmer.  A not-so-old boy with addictive issues. And a beautiful girl not confident at-all.
The scenes take place mainly in their bedrooms (I'm probably willing to pay theses assets, as I'm not into drawing).
The purpose is to bring more understanding and empathy for people surrounding and the aim would be to bring working advises for people concerned.
This would be mostly narrative, and there wouldn't be much mechanism to implement, instead the multi-choice dialogues.
Willing to do it with Game Maker Studio.

Give me luck,

If anyone can bring  some little help, could be advises, or want to be inside the team,
Feel free to answers here on this channel.
See you soon, for the advancement of this project. :)

I was just thinking about creating a game on this topic, when I came across this JAM. And it's just starting ! Sounds perfect.
I am interested in all field on game creation, but mostly specialized in programming (C#, Unity basics, among others....).
I am also a musician, and produced some not-so-bad game musics.
I am bad at graphism, and would prefer to let someone else carrying for that section.
I can eventually help for level-designing and help for story.
I would like to make something about diagnosis absurdity, and include something about hospitalization, and maybe, if it's permitted, nocivity of drug-abuse, and medication cares.
I had a kind of de-realization when I was 18 (after smoking a joint), then go to EPITA in Paris, where i studied 2 years only, then I had a "deep-melancholia" (after MDMA). Then they used to called schizophrenic, after an experience upon mushroom... I had to go to hospital and tried a lots of medication.
After a recent paid test for Autism, I got a 160+ / 200 as an atypical. (Asperger) and 50 as neurotypical. And an official IQ of 127. Results seems quite accurate since most answers are the same with others aspie's ones.
Don't know really what to think ? But that sometimes diagnosis can be really tricky maid with some absurd questions. (typically : do you hear voices ? Must answers : Yes, I am not deaf..... lol) . I'd like to make some jokes about it in the game (I have plenty...).
Don't worry, I am clean ! (almost stopped tabacco as well...), and still medicated, with di-benzo, every night.
That's a long introduction...
Anyway we have almost one month for this game-making, and talking might be flourishing.
Also I am french and living in New Caledonia...
My Respect,

call me Jo.
