Opinions on Non-Games
Seeing as the theme will likely be “Break the Rules”, I haven’t been able to stop myself from thinking up ideas in advance. One thought that I had is for a non-game about protests, but making a non-game in a game competition is a huge risk. While it also does encompass the theme in itself (breaking the rules of gaming), I feel that it could come of as, and actually be, very lazy of me. What are your guys’ thoughts on the subject?

Making a non-game due to lack of ideas IS a huge risk, and the theme may not be what you think it is. What I did is take the top 5 themes from each voting round (15 so far) and categorize them into genres.

Thanks for that suggestion! I know that there’s still a chance that Break the Rules won’t be the theme, and even if it is I probably won’t go with my non-game. I really like you’re connect-some-themes idea! Looking to make something more imaginative/unique/weird this time, and that might just help me do it!
