New Year Game Jam is a thing, apparently

Just found out about the New Year Game Jam. The challenge is to make a game – any game – in the period from 12am on 31st December 2012 to 12am on 2nd January 2013.

So yeah, if all goes according to plan I’ll have my first One Game A Month game finished on the first day of the year. Wish me luck!

And I’ll also be following a self-imposed theme from my phone’s Game Jam Theme Generator: “Storms”.

Storms? Hmm. Maybe you play as a stormcloud trying to cause havoc among the people and trees on the ground? Or maybe a low-fi From Dust, as your villagers manipulate the environment to survive the storms. Or maybe something even more off the wall… I’ll have a ponder.
