Dan did say to "get GUESSING". Perhaps the caps indicate that the word is a synonym for "guessing". Thus, "speculations" could be the correct answer.The theme is obviously SPECULATIONS, and therefore all themes people mentioned at once.
I compulsively reply to everything I see, it's hard to remember stuff even in the off chance I actually read it instead of using baseless speculation on the first sentenceIt's confirmed in Dan's status update... the same one you replied to. ^^'

Personally I prefer wintersaults.Stupid 2nd letter U. Sledgehammer would have been such a cool theme. Oh well, we still have summersaults.
You can, but it goes against the spirit of the jam. Having a lot of pre-existing assets will limit what you can do since it takes time to make other assets match them, and time is very precious during a jam, so you're more likely to make a standard platformer / rpg / whatever else the assets are made for, instead of experimenting with the theme and trying out new ideas. Chances are you'll end up with an end result you're more proud of if you doodle up some graphics in the sprite editor in 30 seconds instead of using professional art assets, because you'll have a lot more freedom to take your jam idea to its limits.Can i use paid assets - art and music ?
This is my guess as well, although I would like to see what becomes of...SUBTERRANEAN
Can't imagine what game night would be for that one!SUPERPANTIES: That game jam we never talk of again.
Obviously, anything that begins with super or sub is out but that's reasonable because if Dan could reveal a 'P' he probably would have (please don't reveal a 'P', Dan). There are of course no guarantees and we could still see a "super" theme but this was a perfect excuse for me to practice my python skills~6 SURREALISTIC
