Dev Log #1 - Just Fix IT
Still without running water tonight, so still a crap start to the weekend and the jam.
I went with the first idea that popped into my head for a game, as I was close to calling it, but I think that I may end up with something at least.
The idea for "Stuck in a loop" does have obvious game tropes that will be abused and overly done. Death loops, running in circles, mazes, etc. I've wanted to switch it up from 2D action games so I didn't go with my usual arcade quick play style games.
The first thing that came to mind that was outside my normal scope was to make something 3D. Similar to an escape the room style, but the loop that you are stuck in is simpler. Many people have experience trouble shooting issues, especially developers and gamers since just about every game has an obstacle for the player to overcome. Sometimes we seem to be stuck, and issues keep popping up, thus stuck in the loop.

Long story short, it's going to be a game about getting the game to run, filled with IT themed issues that prevent the player from reaching their objective.
