I'm In! (And why you should vote for 1 vs 100!)

Back again for my 13th round of LD! Super excited to make something new!

But here's the thing... I'm seeing a lot of you people giving "1 vs 100" bad votes.

Sure, it sounds like we'd see a ton of games about fighting 100 bad guys all by yourself, but that's just what a theme does for you.

Allow me to sway your opinion by spouting of a bunch of ideas that fit this theme.

  • What if there was a super-unfair sports game where you're trying to beat a team of 100 people all by yourself?
  • Or maybe a battle-royale spoof where everyone else sucks and is teaming up on you?
  • How about a chess game, where you can only have one piece?
  • Perhaps a stealth game where you want to kill as many of your enemies before breaking cover?
  • Or maybe a tower-defense kind of thing where you are trying to defend your little town all by yourself?
  • What about flipping it around, where you have 100 lives to kill a super-tough and smart bad guy?

See? There are SO MANY different interpretations to this one theme.

And it's a good theme because it gives structure to all the games, it's incredibly open-ended (it doesn't matter what genre you pick), but it provides a nice starting point to base all of your games off of (good luck going totally blank on this one).
