I started the project my creating the Game Design Document as well as the Goals I have for the jams I am submitting this to (Continue your Game 6, and Accountability Game Jam 2026)
This is a brand new game I am working on, so the Game Design Document will likely change during development as will the goals to get done this month, especially if I hit the goals early.
I usually have ideas bouncing around in my head and last night I came up with this idea to try to see if it is viable, outlined in the Game Design Document and Jam Goals to have it to be able to be tested by the end of the month.
I love RPG and Strategy Games and I plan on mixing those two in this project.
The idea I wanted to test is from a board game called "Milestones". It wasn't a very popular game, and I ended up picking it up deep discount many years ago for around $7. It had a mechanic that spoke to me, but the rest of the game was a bit lackluster. Since then, 12+ years ago, I've had that in the back of my head that it could be used for something but could never thing of anything in particular until 2 nights ago when I randomly couldn't get the idea out of my head when trying to sleep.
Since then, I've refactored that idea many different ways and came up with a way that it could possibly be useful without bogging the game down too much. I hope I am onto something with this.

Jam Goals: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Mqi3r1LkNG0hf-KkFfec27f7ZqDXJPPjvQnBUGN1BFQ/
I'm using both of these jams to hold myself accountable to posting updates and trying to achieve my goals.
In addition to that, I'll be interacting with others and their projects on their discords with the intention of helping others with feedback on their games.
