With the help of my incredible partner I was able to rubber duck a number of ideas in a short amount of time and finally settled on what I think promises to be a cute little story with some theme-adjacent ideas behind it. My goal with this is to learn how to create an interesting method of narrative story telling that's intuitive, fun, and more than just a series of dialogue boxes at the bottom of the screen.
Between the tea-fueled idea phase and the planning phase we sat down for a hearty dev-fuel dinner of pie and chips with yet more tea as seen below.
Really looking forward to putting this together and I hope I can do the idea some form of justice, my drawing skills are incredibly rusty and I'm going to be relying on them far too heavily for this project.
From talking with my peers, I guess underwater interpretation of the theme will be pretty popular.
Don't really know what to do yet, but I always feel more comfortable just blocking something out and see where it takes me.
I'm doing something a bit ambitious this time and it's probably based more on the idea of falling than depth. I haven't written a single line of code yet. I've just got an idea and some sketches.
Here's our elevator pitch!
You're in a cave mining for diamonds, when you suddenly have to escape a rockslide. Your only chance is a nearby coal-powered railcart: use it to escape, managing your fuel by making quick stops to mine for coal… other more valuable rocks.

Hey everyone!
First timer here and I'm gonna use pico-8 just to get a bit more practice with it!
Wish you all a fun jam :)
Going solo this time. Got rough ideas for some themes, not for all.
Do I need all of this stuff? Who knows… but a little preparation won't hurt :)
Hi guys!
Coming back here for the third time, @Annika @shooliagods and I are ready to roll! We'll be using GameMaker again as our engine and krita/photoshop for our graphics.
It's almost time for the stream, so good luck everyone! See you all on sunday °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
Who could be standing behind that podium?
