It's a good idea to think about games for each theme.

"Little Robot Workers" is oddly specific I think but who knows, maybe it will win!

Good luck for the jam :)

@Wan thank you, good luck.

@TheTacticalBanana Order and chaos I'm thinking of something like evil vs. holy where the goal is to bless or curse enemies to keep things balanced.
Good idea about 'abandoned'.

Let's Jam

@felipesaraiva I do agree with the evil vs holy but i cant think how to make an interesting game mechanic out of it, if your just clicking the mouse occasionally it might feel a bit monotonous doing the same thing over and over again

When it comes to jam-themes, I've learned that it's never the one you'd expect… but I think it is a good thing to have some thoughts on them beforehand, even if only to hype yourself up. (Or reuse some of your idea for the theme that didn't make it into the one that did and end up with a turly unique twist that you'd otherwise never have thought of.)

When it comes to 'order vs. chaos' (not just in this particular instance, but in general); I'm always suprised by the ammount of people who immediately equate 'chaos' with 'bad'/'evil' and 'order' with 'good'/'holy'. It's not wrong per-se, but I feel there's so many other things that can be done with these concepts.

@remco Agreed, instead of just typical sutff with good guys vs. bad guys, we could use more games about kids cleaning their room! Or battles between anarchists & communists! There's definitely room for unusual concepts :P

@remco good observations and thank you for the notes you made, maybe I'll rethink some of my ideas for something more original.

good Jam

I am also hoping for the "little robot workers" as it is a theme quite different from the usual (meta-)themes one is used to see. :)

@Laguna I agree im really hoping for 'little robot workers' as ive got quite a good idea surrounding it and it would be different to something youd usually see
