My Girlfriend @Lotzi and I will again enter the Jam. We will reuse the "engine" created for Jam LD53. It was further expanded during Jam LD54 and I started making a bigger game with it recently, adding more features to the "engine". In general I plan to use it in future LDJAMs and improve/expand it continuously. Therefore I will always participate in the Jam category, since I do not make the game from scratch, and I find 48 hours too stressful anyways :smile:

I put engine into quotes because the codebase I'm creating does not pretend to be a general purpose engine like godot or unity. It rather is a framework or call it custom, single purpose engine for 2D tile based platform games and every Gamejam features are added if needed and kept and maybe reused in the future.

We hope the theme will be tiny creatures :blush: because we always put cute little critters in the game anyways. the theme sideffects would be cool too.

We also plan to put more effort into sound effects. We didn't have any in LD53 and LD54. LD54 atleast hat a song that I created where I actually recorded myself playing bass and composed a track out of it.
