Theme. The Force is strong with this one. Although you can probably just make any single game with a tool and say, oooh wait, it’s dangerous to go alone, take this <insert random tool>. Be it weapon, magic staff, vehicle, football, companion, etc. But hey why not, we had more generic themes before, turned out fine.

This is a declaration of maybe, maybe not, since tomorrow (and by extension today) is national day of awesome here in Finland, and I may succumb to peer pressure and actually go outside with people for fresh air and social reinforcement (it’s dangerous to go alone, here take this friend/beer). But I guess the main festivities start later in the afternoon so I may hack up together a small joke game or something until then.

Tools. Lua for sure, maybe with LÖVE or my own lib evöL. Other tools will be according to random inspiration.

Seems there’s a lot of people in, which is good because more games, and bad, because the chatter on the IRC channel and compo blog will be hard to decipher. Also each individual gets a lot less attention, especially newcomers. It’s a harsh world. Dangerous out there. Ha. Anyhoo. Good luck all, kudos for the keynote, and remember to keep hydrated.
