Hi :D, I come from the SKG Discord. Very excited for this jam.. I’ve wanted to try out making something more experimental for a while now, but never got into it. This jam is the perfect excuse :P. In fact I already had some ideas for transmedia games in the past, but they were too big in scope for me to execute. I also wanted to get a bit into writing recently: I’ll probably make a written story with a game complementing each other. Conceptual songs are also pretty cool, and would be perfect this jam, but I lack musical skills. I am trying to learn a DAW tho, I’ll try to make my own soundtrack (even if it sounds a bit shit) :-)

Hi @olistupid! Welcome!
Awesome to have you here, especially coming from the SKG Discord! (Thanks again to DVH by the way) What you’re describing—combining a written story with a complementing game and making your own soundtrack on a DAW—is 100% the spirit of this Transmedia Jam. Don't worry at all about the sound: raw, experimental, and sincere stuff made with passion will always hit harder than polished, soulless content!
I actually went to check out the games on your page, and I have to say: I find them super original!
Personally, I’ll take a high-concept game with real personality over yet another AAA clone that relies solely on graphics and shiny aesthetic every single day. I'm a huge fan of meme culture and all the fascinating art movements/subcultures that have grown out of it.
I’m drawn to games that actually have something to say—something with a strong message or an unusual perspective—rather than "neutral" gameplay built just to pass time. To be honest, I hate mainstream stuff; I feel like that endless search for "neutrality" in mainstream media is just a lullaby to keep people asleep!
So please, go wild, experiment, test your ideas, and express yourself freely! We can't wait to see (and play/read/listen to) what you come up with for the jam. Have fun! 🚀🎮📜
