IF I participate, it'll be my first game jam. I have but programmed 2-3 games, and the first one was less than a month ago. Quite the noob, I am.

Anyway, I plan to use: - Java as a programming language - Slick2d framework - Bfxr for sound - GIMP or GraphicsGale for art

Even if I manage to finish the game (~1 day of time, ugh), I have no clue how to deploy my product. I wanted to learn LibGdx for this reason, as it gives me an HTML version of my game, but that library is too much for me to handle at the moment.

The most important thing for me will be to stick to the theme (what's the point otherwise?). Let's see how it goes... kinda looking forward to it (:

Just came back from work, already missed 12 hours, and I'm tired af. I found the theme to be quite difficult to deal with as well, but I think I have an idea: an "open-world" race game.

The incompatible part about it is that in a race there usually is a predetermined route which all players have to follow, whereas I want to allow players to drive around freely, and basically the first one to find the goal wins the race (or something like that). I hope that counts, otherwise I'll have to think of something else.

Anyway, probably not going to get much done today as I'm quite tired, so I'll work a bit on the assets and the basic code setup, and lastly I'll need to study how to implement a camera/viewport as Slick2d does not provide its own.
