Hey, I have a question about the theme. Is it okay if I make the game take place on earth but from the perspective of an alien? Since for him the earth would be a different planet?
Thank you in advance.
I think so. It doesn't say different from what. So technically, you could make a game about using telescopes on one planet to study another planet, without anyone leaving their own planets, and it would still involve two planets different from each other, so it should count. Just putting a human on Mars would also fit the theme, but the weirder the way you use the theme, the more different the game can be from other games in the jam, which I guess counts as creativity.
I've made one game for another jam, and the theme had to do with going from one place to another. When I played some of the games myself, two of the ones I liked the most involved staying in one place while other things went from one place to another. So definitely do play with the theme.
