Epic. Victorian VS Racing in the 1930s. Will do.

You know, that shouldn't be too hard, actually.

Quick question, what does minimalist mean? Also, is it okay if I add in puzzle?

Sure! Minimalist is a game with a focus on simplicity, but not neccesarily in a way that diminishes quality, such as this (that's an extreme case) or this. Many focus on the emotional aspect.

Thanks. Also, don't hate on my graphics. I suck at making them. 

Remember, it's not a contest!

although, we should have awards for the game jam, such as Best Graphics, Most User-Friendly, Most Complex, Most RPG-esque, etc.    that'll be fun

Sure! We could vote!

i know it's kind of late, but is it possible for me to join in?

Warning: Massive post!

I have a halfway developed idea for this.

I don't think it fair to make me mix Pirates (which I assume should be the cliche type) with modernism but I'll manage.

Here's a reroll just in case.

great    also, I'm doing the horror dungeon crawler, it's going very good!

Nice! Here's my WIP steampunk TARDIS:
Pixel Art TARDIS (By me):

Steampunk TARDIS (Also by me):

I need suggestions for the copper border. (It's supposed to be a nice, dark wood with a copper border, any advice?)

Update
If everyone could, by tomorrow at about this time, have what kind of game they're making down, that would be great! I'm thinking about adding a "Game Jammers are making..." section to showcase what kinds of cool things we're making.

Hey, maybe software pirates 

Also, my game name announcement is Alpha Particle. I looked up a glossary of Nuclear Terms to find a name 

Edit: Description!

After the bomb was dropped, you must go through a now abandoned city in order to find your way to the shelter. The city will be full of rubble, and there will be all sorts of posters like Kony 2012 and other graffiti like the work of Banksy

More info later.
