Me and Ross are participating in Game Jam this year. im on Tema Seal, Ross is in Team Arctic Fox, thought i'd discuss our games.

TEAM SEAL!
we wanted to make a creepy game with an awesome backstory, so were doing a MASSIVE horor exploratory game, its setup during th cold war, your an inuit who fell into a giant cave system, while exploring the cave system in an attempt to get out, you find an abandoned military bunker, and research documents of "experiments" that were conducted there, upon further exploration, the player finds broken up cages and giant broken test tubes etc...and an elevator, the elevator is turned "off" and then you have to find the 3 generators and power them on to escape, all while avoiding strange mutated creatures walking about. the main weapon is a flamethrower you find inside the facility, there are also going to be ice walls and stuff that you'll have to melt down with your flamethrower and stuff like that. we have a solid start, plenty of graphics, (about 5- - 605%) done, and were waiting for the engine, our programmers currently sleeping.
heres the beginning of the cave systems:
as you can tell it gets darker the deeper you go. sooner or later you find a flash light and you can explore pitch black places. meh, like it so far, what do you guys think?
