Bro Loving Devlog: Day 1 - Straight Brainstorm Madness

Hi there! Today we are starting a series about the three days of the jam and how we went about creating our game!

We thought about putting some method to the madness with two steps. So each of us individually wrote down 5 concepts related to the theme (Keep it Alive!) and got it into a canvas. The funny part is that each of us went about it in different ways. One of us wrote down mechanics, another wrote down a stream of thoughts, and so on...

We gathered on Discord friday night to discuss the theme right after it was released. For many in our quartet (with the exception of @panoramix360) this was the first time making a game in a jam. We read together the rules so that we understand how everything works. Then we were off to brainstorming.

If you can read in Brazilian Portuguese, you can spot the seed of Bro Loving in the top right corner ;)

The next step was selecting at random (we used an online number generator) to select 3 concepts and try to come up with ideas for games using those. Each of us take a shot at it and we ended up writing down the best ones.

We used Notion to write everything from this point on. After we went for 5 rounds of this we had plenty of ideas. But there was one image that made us all fall in love and we wanted to make a game about it somehow:
