Vote Dreams!
Seriously, it’s right up there with the best themes I’ve ever seen proposed for Ludum Dare. Props to whoever came up with it. There’s quite a bit of room for interpretation and definitely a lot of potential for gameplay ideas and mechanics. The artistic freedom given here is also noteworthy. I haven’t really felt much reason to make a post about other themes I thought would be good, but this one really deserves it.
It was the first Google Images result for “Dreams”…

I’m personally not a fan of it, too broad maybe? (and if it makes it I’m predicting at least one Inception ripoff…)
I also think it’s far too broad for a theme.
Not to mention that every terrible no-gameplay “art game” that’s been made during LD has pretty much been this theme. I’m worried we’ll end up with 200 of them.
I have some ideas for it already. I think there are plenty of ideas to come from it, if people will look for them. People who want to make art games can make art games, and that’s fine too.
I think I am going to do one of those no-gameplay “art games” no matter what the theme is
I think it would be awesome and with tons of potential. Love the irony of a competition that deprives you from sleep and is themed “Dreams”… We’ll see.
Dreams, hallucinations and mental illness, that is.
At first I was “meh dreams” but I just got a pretty nice Idea for it so now it’s “yay dreams”
