Decided on the game I will make! Took me 2 and a half hours and lots of ideas that aren't practical without artists. Not exactly fond of the chosen idea, but it will be a challenge since it's the first time I'll go for this genre!

I skimmed back through the feed and noticed almost no one has any complaints about the theme this time. I personally had delivery as one of my top picks since it was a simple versatile theme that could fit many premises and genres. Hoping we'll get a lot of fun unique games.

Good luck on on developing everyone!

In my game, you deliver pizza, in 12 minutes.

Nothing come up as an interesting idea. Maybe just make it simple and sometimes a good idea comes itself.

I've been interested in board games lately, so I scribbled some cards and a board for something in Tabletop Simulator. The rules need a bit of revision before this can become a proper game, but the mechanics seem interesting so far.

This is my first time ever doing a game jam solo, but I am happy with my game idea and I think the scope is manageable. I guess time will tell on Monday. Good luck everyone!

I wasn't originally going to tackle this idea, as I thought it was too much for 72 hours. I think I've stripped it down to something possible now.

Your goal is to deliver an important message from A to B. You control the messenger and a small number of units. Your challenge is an overwhelming enemy force trying to kill the messenger.

I thought it was going to be too much due to A* pathfinding, which I've never implemented before. Then I realised I could dumb it down to simply "move directly to the target position".

So far, I've got selecting and moving individual units working. I just had to fix a bug where I was selecting the first unit below the mouse on the Y axis, not the unit at the mouse position.

time to make dinner while i figure out the best place to start lmao, maybe character design? music? we shall See

Mock-up in Photoshop complete, time to write some code...

puzzle game in progress using Godot

I am quite happy with the theme. I will be doing a retro first person type game but im still deciding on which idea to go with. Goodluck to everyone!

Hey we've got a big team this time around and we're already getting things moving and shaking! Good luck to all the competitors this jam :D

I am quite happy with the theme, I have a lot of ideas but I will probably be going with a retro first person type game.

Good luck to everyone!

I think this theme is fine. It's open for interpretation for sure and I've seen a lot of cool ideas posted here tonight. I'm working on an old-school 8-bit style game (shocker...) Most likely pizza delivery, but my wife is trying to convince me to go with Amazon prime! We'll see

The problem that I always seem to have when LDJAM rolls around is that I am always busy on that specific weekend. Whether it's doing house work, running errands, family obligations or I'm just out of town... I have never had a solid shot at this.

The stars have seemed to align for me this time around though! While there are still a few things I need to get done around the house, they should only take a few hours to complete tomorrow. Hoping that won't mess up with the jam too hard.

I'm digging the theme! Feels like it's the right amount of difficult. GLHF!

I was gonna throw in the towel. My game idea is solid and my plan is in place, but I'm just too tired this weekend, I need the rest for the next week, and I'm now house-sitting out of the blue. The jam just didn't seem right for me this goaround.

Then I remembered that "extra" is a thing, and I think that's perfect for me.

I'm gonna whip up my "extra" game over the course of the next week, and get it out the door by (hopefully) next Saturday. I won't get nearly as many votes, I reckon, but at least I'll be adding to my catalog. And my friends will get to play a great game! :)

Haven't done game jams in a very long time, so I am excited about this one.

Joining in from India.. woke up a few hours ago to find that theme has been announced. Have been brainstorming since then :) Rough concept of game has been made. USED A TRADITIONAL CHALKBOARD XD
