The jam has officially started (join here)! It's not to late to join... We've just revealed the theme for the jam! 😱 Would love to see what you're able to make with it :)
Ah, spring. A lovely time. You've just made it through the brutal winter . The breeze is gently blowing, and the sun has decided to cast some warm rays. Spring is the season of birth and life, but it's also a break between the sharp cold of winter 🥶and the harsh heat of summer 🥵. Spring is also a moment of peace. 😌
The theme for this game jam is Respite and Safe Havens.
Design a game where a key game mechanic focuses on a moment of safety or peace. Think about moments like:
- Holding a fresh cup of coffee in the morning after the kids have gone to school
- Meditating after finishing yoga
- Lying in the sun at a peaceful park having a picnic
- Sitting at a bonfire after slaughtering a blood-thirsty demon
- A safe room after getting chased by a ghost in a haunted house
Your game can be entirely about that moment, like making sandwiches in the park. Or it can have just have moments of peace for the player to take a break.
Bonus theme: Incorporate an aspect of spring 🌸 of your choosing (be sure to explain in your submission!)
