For one datapoint, I've participated in many gamejams and I've never ever spent any time beforehand thinking about ideas.
- sarchertech 1y agoHow many big game jams have you won/placed very highly in though?
- deadbabe 1y agoGame jams typically require games to adhere to a theme that is only known the day of, and the best entries will make a game specifically around that, not just adapt some pre-existing idea to it.
- sarchertech 1y agoThe themes are so open ended it’s very easy to adapt most game ideas. Games that win tend to be the most fun to play not necessarily the ones that fit the theme the best.
