"Trust No One" was certainly not one of my favorite themes, but its not one I dislike either. The idea my team is working on is one I think has potential so far! Good luck to everyone! Let's all make some amazing games :D

(+2)

I am a bit unsure of where to go with it. The only ideas that i think of are with a gameplay somewhat similar to the Papers Please. Nothing else :/

Submitted(+1)

Oh, I hadn’t thought of that! My team isn’t doing this, but I was also thinking something like That’s Not My Neighbor and No, I’m Not A Human. Its definitely an interesting theme!

I am deeply and sincerely angered by the pure idiocy of these people. What are you ever trying to do with that other then a horror game or an among us clone. I'm going to take the prompt in a way that is clearly not intended because I don't have any other ideas.

Submitted

I understand why you might be frustrated! This theme is definitely a bit restricting. I’m sure there will be a lot of people and teams that take from already established, popular ideas. But I know my team is trying to do an interesting spin on it, and I’m sure there will be others who do so as well!

Submitted

Calm down, they picked a theme they like. It's not that deep.

Submitted(+1)

I think there may be a lot of similar ideas but with different art or minor differences.

Submitted

That’s definitely possible! I remember something similar happened a few jams ago when the theme was “Risk It For the Biscuit”

its not too bad honestly, but you will see ALOT of papers please and among us clones

Yeah, I think that might be the case too, but we’ll see!

Submitted

I was disappointed with it but I got an idea now and it could work

Submitted(+1)

Me too, but I’m glad it wasn’t something like “Historical Empire”

(+1)(-1)

i hate the theme so much, its litterally awful. i cant come up with any ideas, i wouldve quite litterally preferred ANY of the other themes imo. 

Submitted

Yeah, it seems like a lot of people really hate the theme. Hopefully you can come up with a good idea!

Submitted

its a niche challenge, i came up with an idea which may be difficult to execute in 7 days with the free time which i have to work on the game.

Submitted(+2)

Hopefully you’ll be able to execute it! Also, I think I remember playing your game from the last Brackey’s game jam. Good luck with this one!

at first i didn't like it but now i have an idea and i really cant wait to start work later on it

Submitted

Same thing happened to me :D

Hi, i new to game jams, i'm mostly a programmer, the idea that comes to mind is some kind of horror delivery game in a small city with fog, the player will need to do parkour from building to building to deliver goods to npcs, but he must pay attention to npcs and not trust them. 

Submitted

Oooh! Sounds really cool! Hopefully you can make it in time. Good luck!

Pretty good theme. I already got two ideas and I'm going to write the design document for whichever I feel will be the best.

good luck and have fun

Submitted(+1)

Great! It’s nice to see at least one person who doesn’t hate the theme 😅 Good luck with your entry!

Submitted

I'm not a big fan, personally. It didn't really strike me with anything. My team and I kinda wanted to make a platformer anyway, so we're adding the theme to it as a mechanic.

Submitted

I think the theme could definitely be implemented into a platformer game in an interesting way! I haven’t seen many people wanting to make a platformer specifically for this theme/jam, so it’ll be interesting to see what your team comes up with!

Submitted

Thanks, we got an idea we're probably going to work with. It'll be on my itch probably a few hours to a day before the deadline, so if you want, you can check it out

Submitted

It was one of the 3 themes that worked with a gameplay loop I wanted to make, so I'm not unhappy. Would've preferred "Alternative Uses" tho, truth be told.

Submitted

There are a few I would've preferred, but I'm also fine with Trust No One!

Submitted

Pretty much my view on the theme yeah

In the end I feel like this theme improved my game idea by a lot tho(instead of the opposite), so I'm happy!

Submitted

That's the most hardcore theme we have seen ahahah (and it totally fit our last game, so it's hard for us ahah)

Submitted(-1)

Really like the theme actually. Thought of a concept that I haven't seen before, so looking forward to trying to get it done within the week.

Submitted

Nice! Good luck!

Got an idea that *isn't* like papers please, I think we were lucky that some of the ideas we had for the other themes somewhat overlapped with this one

Submitted(+1)

Oh, nice! My team also has an idea that's not like Papers Please. We're just working out the kinks :)

Submitted

Had mixed feelings at first but now really feeling it. It's open-ended enough to mean a lot of things to a lot of different developers. Cheers!

Submitted(+1)

Yup, definitely! Good luck with your entry!

The theme sounds suitable for a detective game. My game's core gameplay is something like Papers Please, yet not like Papers Please at the same time 💀.

Submitted

I think a lot of people will end up with games similar to Papers Please, but that's a great game, so I see no huge issues with it!

Submitted

We were hoping for "Monster Friends" for sure! It's vague enough to work on any game we want hahaha.

I think my team is struggling a bit to come up with something unique for this theme. The few games that we thought up that were on theme were Werewolf, Secret Hitler, Paper Please, and Among Us

We wanted to go for something more unique~ Hopefully we will cook something interesting soon!

Submitted

Good luck! It’s definitely a bit difficult with this theme, but I’m sure you all will come up with something unique. I was also hoping for Monster Friends, but it is what it is!

Ok ngl the theme for my first game game was hard... for about five hours till I got an idea and then boom this aight.

Submitted

Good job on coming up with a theme!
