Bravo. If anyone but you wins the “Theme Use” category, I’m going to riot.

What modifiers did you use?
I used Fluxus as inspiration when making the musical instruments for this album - all music was played on instruments made from either trash or vegetables! I also made every component of this project over the span of the past 3 days while getting a good night's sleep each night, so I feel the "early to bed, late to rise" modifier was also fulfilled. I also gave myself the bonus modifier of "contains a historical reference" because I recently participated in the Historically Accurate Game Jam as well.
How would you consider this game to be Pompous Trash?
For this project, I wrote a short musical about a slime mold living during the French Revolution that wants to build a propeller hat to escape the Paris streets, & the plot is vaguely based on the plot of Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. The songs are all covers of famous classical songs, & played solely on the aforementioned instruments made from trash/vegetables.
In addition to the musical album, I also created a printable fanzine about the slime mold characters, printable slime mold character puppets with attachable costumes, & a "making of" documentary where an auteur-esque character explains the process & you get to see the vegetable instruments.
Did you accomplish your goal?
Yes, I feel I did! I had a lot of fun making this.
What was your goal for creating this game?
When I was a kid, I was always making weird multimedia projects & just funny lil things I didn't worry too much about making perfect, so I wanted to bring that energy back for this project (& for future projects, now that I've used it again I realize how much I missed it)
