I discovered the theme in the morning. My work day was spent talking to my team-mate Francis about how we could incorporate this into an existing idea that we wanted to do (I done some work as well, obviously... *cough*). We managed it, albeit the story will just have to be that little bit more deranged.
The evening was spent working on the basics of an engine, it's going to be a low-res pixel platformer. And researching art styles, though it will be similar to the last game we made together; with time constraints I didn't want to do anything too experimental. So we'll try and do what we know, really well, instead. So expect a small yet solid, polished game, maybe, hopefully.
I also have Thurs and Fri off work for this jam. Just for that little extra polish.
And Francis quit his job... Not for this, obviously... But it helps!

good luck :)
