I meant that it would be too ridiculous for my brain to be able to plot it properly (or at least without getting mixed up all the time).
Although it might work if I use different languages.

As we come to the end of the first week, how is everyoneâs story coming along? Itâs been nice to focus on something other than Wonderland Noir for a little while.

If itâs a spaceship you could have it called the Celtic Rose after the name of the ship AI therefore the spy android they have could also get called Celtic Rose

iâve been doing very very unstructured brainstorming, and i think itâs going well! i had a few unconnected idea blurbs floating around, and the other day while i was just chilling at home i thought of a fun way to bring them together for a creepy weird game, so i am gonna think more on that in the coming week or so and hopefully get a reasonably-solid premise down!!

I donât fancy the MCâs chances under those conditions. 
But itâs not a spaceship, itâs a post-apocalyptic zeppelin.

That remember me the first Outer worlds game the ship has an Ai very bizarre so it only can be managed by someone called . I dont remember if was thorne or something like that. The funny pun is the ship totally knows you arent the real captain but tags alone because it needs a captain.

Iâm done with outlining! So far, Iâve written 13k words, mostly just prologue stuff and setting. I expect that word count to quickly and significantly decrease as I proofread and remove my unnecessary ramblings.

Thats impressive! Really impressive. Even if you cut later is a very good rithm. Just donât burn out. A jam is to have fun and vibe

In one week?
Thatâs amazing! I wish my brain could let me get that amount of words out.
I managed about 1000 words, despite the world very much not going my way, so Iâll count that as a success.

I think itâs just the initial excitement at the start of a projectâthe honeymoon stage, so to speak. I probably wonât be able to write anything again for the next couple of weeks. Hereâs to hoping we finish on time!

(they are timeless, in my eyes)
AaaanywayâŚCarry on!

Wow! I have just written the first 500 words in a very long time. It is being emotional. The story I am writing is unfiltered, bizarre and nonsensical. For years I tried to normalise my writing, trying to be more likeable for the masses. Eiw always tried to make me write what I really like and be myself, even if it isnât popular.
So I will try to honour her by doing exactly that. Nobody will like it but it will be genuine and what I really want to write about.

There is a saying that goes âAs long as one person likes what you write then it is worth it.â and that includes you yourself. As long as you enjoyed writing it, it will always be worth it

What has the average submission been in the past for these? I know the minimum is 1500 words, but Iâm guessing actual submissions are much longer.

There is no real average. Within years have been really big ones and shorter entries.
What I can tell you it is that bigger doesnât mean that would be better voted. There have been chosen games on the smaller side.
My advice is to focus on the core paths and later on see if you can add less important branches a 15k 20k can be a very solid game in the schedule

15-20k might be doable! Thanks for the response, Iâll try to get something together for the jam!

Iâve had a few concept ideas the last couple of weeks but nothing really stuck. But I had an idea this morning which I think will be perfect so now I really have to knuckledown with Chapter Three of Quiver so I can get this started.

Thank you for running the jam!
I suspect I already know the answer, but just to double check, for snippet day, we are not allowed to share snippets from our Halloween jam WIP, are we?
Thanks for your time.
