Hello, I can't translate the topic name

Hello, I can't translate the topic name. Can you tell me please: is it "jon" or "ton" or something else? And what does that mean?

Hey there! The theme for the Imaginary Game Jam 2025 is "Fantasy Fleshpit". I'll give the most straightforward interpretation of these terms first.

"Fantasy" typically means, a world with mythical creatures and monsters, swords and sorcery, and limited technology. Adventurers of different races, like elves, orcs, and dwarves, use different class-based skillsets like warriors, rogues, and wizards to join guilds, go on quests, and vanquish evil. Some examples include Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft, Skyrim, and The Witcher.

"Fleshpit" is a much more unusual theme, and it literally means "a pit of flesh". This theme asks the question, "what if the walls and floors were alive?" Some examples include, Doom Eternal, Jabu Jabu's Belly from Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Mystery Fleshpit National Park creepypasta, or the animated kids movie Osmosis Jones. 

That said, you're free to interpret these themes however you choose. Maybe Fantasy is an acronym, F.A.N.T.A.S.Y. and each letter stands for something else? Maybe Fantasy means, a person fantasizing and daydreaming while they're supposed to be working or at school? It's up to you! 

If you do choose an interpretation of the themes that are not obvious, please make it clear somewhere on your game's page or within the game, exactly how you've chosen to interpret the themes.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention!

We don't abide by scams here at Imaginary Game Studios, and we do our best to ensure our prizes go to indie game developers who deserve them. 

It's sad to see indie game development being used as a popular path for scams, but it just means we need to be extra vigilant. 

Thanks again for sharing this!
