I still need to finish psychopomp and deymoun, in the first one, beacuse you can't save, and in the second one I gave up trying to beat the boss after a while.
Anyone who has actually beaten the boss in Deymoun?
@Kuranyem I guess you are right, if you feel the competition needs to have a specific focus to stand out. I was just in it to have some fun, but maybe this is just not for me (I'll quit being so egocentric about it)
No, it alienates me because it prevent me from developing creative ideas freely, specifically the art challenge thing, or having a set theme - I am never in any other game jams either for this reason.
Personally I just like and prefer doing a thing without thinking so much about a deep meaning or overarching purpose, it feels to me like the more you want to dig for a purpose in doing something, the less you're going to find.
Anyways, getting serious again now, I can feel that most of you guys are very passionate about this "promoting OGA" thing. But I feel having such a specific purpose like that could alienate a some people from participating, at least it does that to me. And if significantly fewer people end up joining the next jam due to the theme being more restrictive, you may not get closer to achieving what you wish for anyway. That is of course, just pure speculation on my side :P
I also feel the way the themes are chosen for the art challenges themselves isn't ideal, and if you want the jam to play into those, I think we should look into that as well.

I could consider it, but you honestly seem pretty demanding considering you also want it all for free.
@withthelove tbh I think that would be better.

"propel you to stardom" lol
Interesting. Personally I think the games involved can stand on their own well enough for this to be more than just a promotional vehicle.
And here I thought the point of the jam was to make games :/
to me that art challenge thing seems so unneccessary, like why? It's nice if someone wants to, but why should we be forced to use these things?
