Hi. Hey. What's up? How's it going?
So, I'm a solo dev. Been working on improving my craft and stuff for the last year. Been working on my stories, and characters, you know. Good stuff. I've basically got three ideas for this jam. More on that later. And I'm more than willing to get behind some ideas from an eager team. If you don't like any of the stories I'm thinking to write for this jam, but you still want to work with Melon Grab on this jam, we'll talk about ideas.
I'm primarily a writer, but I'm trying to learn how to make some kinds of art. Environment, Backgrounds, Character designs, etc. I have ideas. Tons of them. My girlfriend sometimes works with me(She did the character illustration for Pandaemonium: A Slice of Hell). But I can't lean on her for everything, because my work doesn't inspire her.
So, I need some help. I'd love to be able to focus on the writing, so, if you have a knack for any of the following, let me know.
- Character illustration
- Music composition
- Background and environment art
There are a few things to know about me, to understand my ideas, and workflow.
- Heavy inspiration from Rock and Metal music.
- Homestuck.
- Lovecraft and Poe. With a lil' Steven King.
- Heavy enthusiasm for Nordic and Celtic mythology and lore/demonology.
Other influences are secondary, or too obvious to need mentioning.
Alright, so I have three primary ideas I kinda want to explore for this jam.
- A horror story revolving around a supernatural entity that forces people to face their own personal demons, and regrets. The concept is inspired by this song, and would likely be named after the song, and written from the perspective of the entity's victims.
- A character exploration of one of the characters from my Pandaemonium universe. The reader wakes up in the shoes of a hapless victim; subject to the whims of Cyanide. Cyanide is a ferocious, sadistic social media influencer in Hell, who frequently makes videos on how to torture, maim, get revenge, etc.
- This is the most light-hearted idea I've had for this jam, but it ironically would take the most work. Idea 3 would just be a fun little Halloween adventure with the characters from my Pandaemonium series. Just showing how Halloween is celebrated among the dead in Hell. No grand plot, no huge story, it'd just be a little thing for character interactions.
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, don't be afraid to reach out for anything.
