I made an open world story game in 4 days! (like actually though)
I wanted to try doing a game jam in a team for once, since all of my jams so far have mostly just been 1 or 2 people. The theme was "loop" so we threw out a bunch of amazing ideas such as "knot tying simulator" and "game where you can only move in circles".
We eventially decided on a top down open world story game with a groundhog day based puzzle mechanic (kind of like outer wilds).
The main secret behind how the game works is a long list of "flags" that get added to the player on certain events.
For example: if you were to talk to crop circle jim, certain npcs might have different dialogue.
I'm not too sure how its going to get rated in the jam because of how weird a lot of the dialogue is and how cryptic some of the puzzles are, but I'll update this post with our scores once the jam is done being rated.
