You will have from now until Sunday, December 6 11:59PM EST to complete your entries. You must upload your entries to either SS or CP and send me a link (or link them in this thread) so that I will know that you
completed your entry on time.
The theme for this starting period is...
THANKSGIVING
I chose this one first because it hasn't been done before (as far as I know). We've had Christmas, Halloween, and other types of contests, but what about Thanksgiving? The only Thanksgiving-themed game I know
of is Thanksgiving Quest, and that may just be because of the title.
So some of you may be saying, "How the crap am I supposed to make a game about Thanksgiving"?
You don't have to make your game follow the MEANING of Thanksgiving. However, your entry should be heavily influenced by as many of any of the following Turkey Day elements as you would like. You must
implement at least one or you will be disqualified:
Turkey(s)
Feasts
Pilgrim(s)/Settler(s)
Native American Indian(s)
Fall
Journeys by Sea
Early British Colonies, such as Plymouth
Farming/Agriculture
Thanksgiving (the meaning of--if one could pull this off into an enjoyable game, I would be impressed)
So even though the theme is Thanksgiving, it really has nothing to do with the meaning of Thanksgiving (unless you want it to). I think the list above allows the possibility for many types of games.
Don't worry. If this theme doesn't appeal to you, stick around for the next two starting periods which will have new themes.
If you have any questions, please let me know. Good luck!
Edited to emphasize ending date.
