/me whispers burrrrrrnnnnhmm
now I don't know what to do, looks like I have some brainstorming to doI have decided to avoid story in my game and use purely the mechanics to convey the themes. this is kinda hard.I have come up with a couple of ideas but so far I haven't come up with any that would be fun/suitable for a competition time frameJust a bump so this doesn't get lost for people who want their themes. I've added a link to this blog in the S4D main blog (which I apparently forgot to do,) so hopefully it'll be more obvious now.
RC, is it still ok to form a team at this point. Toast and I might be interested in teaming up as suggested in the comments of the other blog
This thread makes me smile tears of happy.
Also, time permitting, I'd love to do a hangout lets play again. Though I might just use twitch this time. And I'd give my own side-pot prize to my favorite.K I'll claim its official. $200, $150 to my favorite, $50 to whoever includes a chicken pot pie the best in their game. I'll stream another "lets play" of the top games…well, I'll call it a "lets attempt" based on how the past ones went.<3Stoked about my theme draw, good luck everyone.
All this talk of chicken pot pies and taco salads is making me hungry.
Hungry for making a competition game, that is.
