Oh no! I didn't see this until now but yes! That's the intended way to play for multiple players. 

So if you had 3 players, player 1 chooses an option based on your collective stats and rolls, then 2, then 3, then return to 1, etc. until the game ends on whatever goblin chaos you have wrought.

You're more than welcome to release an Ashcan version of your game and update it later! Games are still games without art. 

I'll also say that if you want to pick up some art assets, Bri de Danann also has some generic fishblade art packs for use in the Jam (Or other games) https://ko-fi.com/s/44090c8d60. There's also a black and white pack.

This is adorable!

If you're stuck making your own system but you have a solid idea for a game I always recommend trying a hack! It's a great way to take the pressure off yourself for the design aspects and focus on writing the game you want to make. If not a hack, deciding on what the most essential experience is/the core gameplay is and then looking around at other systems you like for inspiration is a good bet. 

Ooo, I'm pumped to read this!

No worries! Thank you for asking, and I look forward to reading! ^_^

This Jam is nonranked, but if it were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prize would be the talking Bass, 100%

Hey! Thanks for asking. 

I didn't list this in the original rules but writing and art for your game should be created by you, and not generated by AI or other similar software. I've updated the rules to reflect this.

Ohhhhhh, love this! THE ART THO

I think either of those would work!

The Jam is open to all kinds of games! Like I said in the rules, you can interpret both "Fish" and "Blade" however you like. If that means a more serious game instead of a meme-y one, go for it! The Jam is all about showing the breadth of games that can rise from a simple prompt. ^_^

That's a solid idea! If I've got some time tonight I can see about pulling together a logo! I like using [TITLE] - A fishblade game for sure.

I dont think it has to be specifically Fish and Blade! If you've got aquatic creatures and sharp implements, I think you're on the right track. I tried to leave it intentionally vague so that people could interpret that prompt as they liked!

Another poster mentioned putting "Fishblade" somewhere in your game title or subtitle, and as they said, that might not be a bad idea for discoverability purposes. That's up to you! 😊
