*A classical interpretation of the mirror role in folklore is like a weird soul-twisted creature changing the viewer’s soul. Like an evil twin or Dorian Gray. Or the evil Mirror making the evil stepmother jealous.
*Another, like in Alice through the mirror. Mirrors are portals to weird twisted realities.
RULES
A story with choices and several endings made in whatever game language used in this media. Cs, twine, Cys page etc,
Based on the theme, Twisted Mirrors.
Have a public link available on 31st October
If there are enough entries People will be available to vote the first week of November. There is no price like this is a friendly jam with the main goal is show people that can end projects and how to make betas and be valued works in a future published. Even this project if you polished it can be end published soon. Several entries in the past are now published in polished form! You can do the same as well!
If people who enter want I can do this year as well a private discord server for participants can support each other.
The image makes me think of split and/or hidden identities. Or a broken performance. This gives me some ideas even if this is not the theme for this year.
Hm, broken glass and either a mask or a marionette. Something to do with puppetry, breaking free of strings? I’m curious to see what it’ll be this year!
The first thing I thought of with that picture is the episode of Doctor Who called “The Girl in the Fireplace.” I mean, you can’t tell me these guys don’t look like the photo:
I doubt Halloween Jam has anything to do with that, but it’d be cool if it was
My mind immediately goes to internal conflicts. Smashing a mirror because you don’t like seeing the mask you put on in everyday life, and dealing with the struggle of that. A bit more of a psychological take than a literal one.
I very much look forward to taking part in this year’s Jam. Even without the theme being announced yet, I have a rough idea for what the story is going to be about, and I’ve even made a little something for it already.
Dammit. I had a deeply creepy dream a few weeks ago, woke myself up from it, and thought, “This is totally what I’m going to write my short Halloween game about. I’ll just wait for the theme announcement to see how I can adapt it to the theme.”
And now of course I can’t remember a single thing about it.
Anyway, looking forward to the big reveal, and to proving that I can write something short.
Or a broken performance. This gives me some ideas even if this is not the theme for this year.
So many possible themes from that! Deception, reflection, doppelgangers - looking forward to it!
