Well, there goes my dirty, inappropriate game out the window.

[HayManMarc]

THEME: _ r a _ _ _ _ _ i _ _

It's down to 94 possible combinations. Everyone is getting VERY presumptuous about the theme, I think it will actually be quite a surprise

Now I don't know WHAT to think. I give up and will wait til game day.

I may be latching onto a discussion from acouple pages ago, but I don't really comprehend the idea that the theme "Tranquility" would force anyone to make a casual game.

Let's look at the definition, shall we?

repose: a disposition free from stress or emotion.

What you could interpret this as, is that the game itself has a disposition free from stress or emotion. Like a game that has a calm narrator leading you through a zombie apocalypse, or something. You know? Or something like GLaDOS, she was relatively free from emotion most of Portal.

Hard topic if it is. Absolutely no idea. My gaming sessions was NEVER near tranquility of any kind, casual games included.

[GameDevDan]

Eradication
Granulation
Grandiosity
Gravitation
Tranquility
Transaction
Translation

I think it's one of these. My personal favourite in bold.

[twelveways]

Translation would be a cool theme

[chance]

Eradication
Granulation
Grandiosity
Gravitation
Tranquility
Transaction
Translation

Translation would be a cool theme

I don't know... a "translation" theme wouldn't really move me. But I think a "gravitation" theme would be rather attractive.

And I'd be completely wiped out if he chose "eradication".


EDIT: somebody stop me...

Ugh...

No! Stop! Please!

Personally, I think a "Gravitation" theme would totally suck.

And you totally just ruined it.

[theg721]

Francophile?

Ah, the beauty of computer generated answers.

Spoiler

The following strange themes also fit:

Graecophile
Granitelike
Gravida III
Gravitation
Transalpine
Transmarine
Uranologist

The beauty of computer generated answers indeed.

I'm confused on the handicap. What are these usually like? What were previous handicaps before?

[makerofthegames]

1. I dunno.
2. There were none before, this is the first.

I don't think we've had one before, but it'll probably be something like a limited art palette or something.

We haven't had handicaps in previous Jams, but it's basically a restriction on things you can or can't do while developing your game. For example, "you cannot use the color green", or "you must incorporate the numbers 1-10 in your game at least once," or "all sound effects must sound like animals from Australia" or something . Come to think of it, I'd love that last one...

Haha, that would be fun! I guess many would just find some free sounds somewhere, instead of making them themselves though...
