After one-hour's thinking, I've finally got my idea about the theme Alchemy! So it's basically a 2D parkour game, which obstacles and enemies are elimiated with potions - you may have known already: potions need to be produced with your mastered alchemy skils

So here's my gameplay design, if you are interested:

I finished the player/weapon animation a while ago and I just finished up the first tileset!

Did it change?

Could be worse. Or could it?

the title? i would like to know wha the actual theme is now

Due to a last minute change in the votes, we completely messed up our announcement video! Here's the updated version:

The jam has started! From now on, you have exactly 48 hours to make a game from scratch and submit it in the Solo & Team divisions. For Unranked entries, submissions will be left open one more day.

Happy jamming!

Bonus: Cool things to do during the jam

• Share updates: Use either blog posts or the #alakajam hashtag to share progress on your game!
• Livestream/Watch livestreams: Check the Streamers & Reviewers post for more details.
• Rules/How to submit: Check the Rules page for more details.

First Jam ever.

Not ready.

Although, in.

Edit (now that the infernal pressure of the countdown is over) :

I will do something in Python 2.7.

It is going to be a console/terminal/whatever-you-want-to-call-the-black-box-with-a-blinking-cursor game.

I will eat thaï food whilst working on it.

This is live from the nightdesk of a three star hotel in Paris.

Good luck!

Just in time! Now where's that magic theme preview button?

There seems to be some unwritten rule about writing "I'm in!" here, so I'll just have to do so as well. :)

I just found this jam a few minutes ago and might as well join, might not be able to go 100% but should at least be able to get something small done. I've no experience with online game jams before, but have attended several physical ones.

The tech will be Unity and probably a bit of old networking code I've been wanting to test out.

Now, I guess I should figure out more about what's happening here :)
