This sounds awesome! I will attempt to help with any ideas (programming/art/dialog/sfx) which happen to capture the attention of my ADHD to receive necessary effort.

I'll probably end up just photoshopping random sprites.

I'm eggcited.


Edit: I'd like to propose egg based puns for the title, like "Hard Boiled" or "Over Easy".

Notice for the rest of the thread: Please tell me to shut up if my dumb spit ball ideas are too dumb and/or if they disrupt progress.

Okay so I'd like to pose a question to the group: Suppose we make an rpg for this game jam. What would such an rpg look like? What would the main character be?

If the main character is not an egg, then I'm thinking either a pig (farm setting) or a piece of toast (city setting).


regarding mentions of a discord, is this serious overchill or a different BYOB discord? if the former, which channel is this happening in?

So, we're gonna need a lot of unique eggs. Here are the requirements:

Each egg should have a name
Each egg needs to have a cute / funny description, one or two sentences long.
Each egg should be roughly this size:

Note that your eggs do not have to be this shape! They can be circular, or anything your heart desires.

Example:


MYSTICAL EGG
Description: Contains the secrets of the cosmos.

I don't have anything specific in mind, but I want to ask this preemptively. If I wanted to add things that add to the size of the egg, like a hat, should the whole sprite be shrunk so it fits the vertical size of your example, or can the sprite be larger as long as the egg itself is the same as the example?

edit: or should we just stick to eggs without added components?

Here's a flood of eggs that are all based on the same awful pun!

Eggcorn

Eggmourn

Very cool, thanks! I should have said that the eggs in the game will be gifted to the player in a random order, and there is no guarantee that the player will ever receive a given egg at all. So jokes that need to be sequential to make sense, won't make sense under this system; every egg should work on its own. Not saying you did anything wrong, and I'm happy to include these eggs, just thought I'd mention it.

yeah, I think these may all work on their own. I wasn't intending them to be sequential, but this is how my train of thought worked last night once I started coming up with them.

Ska-tch Egg

If it's not too late, I made a few more eggs.

Well known for being a very lightweight egg, at the cost of frequently being low quality.
