EDIT: WE FOUND A PROGRAMMER!!
Hi! I'm barrels and I do pixel art! I'll be working with mbg180 (they'll be doing the music) for this jam and we're looking for a PROGRAMMER and possibly another PIXEL ARTIST
Here's my portfolio: https://artsybarrels.artstation.com/
Here are some carts we're interested in and some ideas on the gameplay that we could do for it:
Mage March by Scott Balmer
"Mage March is a rhythm based rpg in which you play as an ever-growing army of mages who march to the beat of the dungeon to dispel the great darkness that has plagued the land."
- It can be a rhythm game where you cast spells and convince other mages to join your march by following the beat through pushing certain buttons.
Big Carrot Farmer 2 by Kasey Williams
"BIG CARROT FARMER 2 is a farming competition game in which you compete against other townspeople to see who can grow the biggest carrot. What kind of soil works best? How often should you water? Maybe feeding it smaller carrots will work?"
- This one could be a puzzle/strategy/match-3 game where you try to get the perfect combination for the best carrot?? That's the only idea I have so far.
Mound by IRLRUBYPH
"Plant. Cultivate. Grow. Mound is a passive play game, grow a new seedling every day, collect new species, and expand your plots to form beautiful gardens. Simply tap & choose your every move, and watch as your beautiful world grows before your eyes."
- I was thinking that this could be a simple clicker game with different variations of plants unlocked once you get to certain levels. It's like Cookie Clicker but for plants. There could even be some weird or fantasy plants involved.
Sleepless Beat by Anna Dittmer
"A rhythm game that helps you to stay awake while going by train. Push the buttons correctly to avoid sleeping in, missing your stop, having your neighbor's head end up on your shoulder or simply enjoy music!"
- Be a passenger trying hard not to fall asleep and skip your station by listening to the music and getting your head into the beat.
