Slaughter Round

We should be seeing that pretty quick I would imagine...

This is from LD56

How are these for suggestions?

Trying to follow the suggestions of @equalenergy on what makes a good theme, I aimed for vague enough to leave room for interpretation but specific enough to give inspiration, and applicable to a story based game or game mechanic.

️Artist is looking for a team ✨

Hello! I'd like to join a team of at least one programmer as an artist to make a nice game during upcoming 57th LD jam. I work in Unity, also I don't mind Unreal but can only add art and do minimal adjustments there. Can do 2d/3d art, animations, UI, help with finding/making sounds etc..

My Artstation

Let's make something cool together!

Anything & Everything

Hey all.

Figured these two support an exceptionally broad range of interpretations.

At first glance, the second suggestion might seem odd, but it has a few intrinsic benefits not available to other theme suggestions: it's an open world that jammers can leverage legally - great for inspiration or adding depth to otherwise simple games.

And, as always, participants can choose to interpret the theme as they wish, and ignore the SCP reference altogether.

Invite Code

Do you know what the current invite code is ?

So, what happens with duplicate themes?

I've seen a few duplicates during the Slaughter Round (I want to say my own suggestion, Communication, was there at least twice).

What happens in this case? I think some people will not vote for a second copy of the same theme so duplicate themes will have less votes than they should, right? Has this been addressed before? Is it somehow corrected after the slaughter round?

Slaughter round completed...

There are some very interesting themes this time around. Hopefully one of them make the cut. I saw a lot of 'Gambling' and 'Card' type themes this time. That might be interesting.

Also, every Jam I ask this, so why mess with tradition. Is there a way to get the entire slaughter list to download? There are many good ideas in the list and they could be a real inspiration for game development later on.

I'm a little picky

I should have put all my answers into a simple AI so she could give the answers for me next time %) изображениеem2025-03-27/em185949434.png
