The first Breathless Jam inspired me to make my favourite game to date (WAKE). I don't think I got in on time back then, though. I won't be making something this time around, but just want to express how much I love the system and how great it was to use it as a framework.

I LOVE WAKE, truly a great game, and I'm so happy Breathless helped you make this idea a reality.

Amazing. Thanks so much for the support. I really loved making WAKE and it's the best thing I've put out in this realm. Hoping to get out some new projects soon, but time is just not my friend.

Aww man! I really want to do this, but I'm so late to the party!

Will there be a Songs and Sagas jam any time soon? I've been cooking up an idea for some time now!

I’m thinking of perhaps extending the jam to allow me to release all the videos I’ve been cooking for the jam so I would not let this stop you! Also, what’s your idea for an S&S game ? 👀

Oh cool! I just had a dream the other night that gave me an idea for a Breathless game 😄

As for the S&S game…

You will die to reclaim these sacred lands. But your Memories shall live within the Stones. Never forgotten while our blood still flows, While our blades lash against the darkness. A hundred generations may come to pass, but the Memories -- the Stones -- shall guide us home again… Else all will fall to ruin.

Memory Stone (working title) is a rogue-like, souls-like, hexploration game where you play as the kinsmen of a clan whose land has been conquered by a Necromancer Overlord. You will explore the map, searching for the Overlords fortress, reuniting your clan and reigniting the Memory Stones to claim your ancestral memory.

You will die along the way, but your memories will live on within the Stones, and more of your kinsmen will resume your journey, claim the memories you leave behind, and reclaim this sacred land.

Players will offer their Memories to their ancestors to activate the Memory Stones they find along their journey, inscribing these memories (abilities) onto the cards in the deck, so they can be used by all players and new characters you make after you die.

So yeah… lots more to say, but this message is already getting long 😄
