The first and foremost being that, without reading the description given by Mr. Prasad, I knew exactly what sort of personal moment the game was aiming to get across.

Themes for #TAGJam7 will be announced in less than 24 hours,  @ 7th Feb 0000GMT.  EDIT: To Clarify, The Arbitrary Gamejam #7 is 2 Days (48 hours) of development time! Originally, we had considered making #TAGJam7 the first week-long TAG, in fact we'd even thought of asking entrants to dedicate their entries to a special someone for valentines day. But unfortunately, the timing is bad for most people, so we're going to stick with the regular weekend affair. That doesn't mean there isn't a twist though! Special Rule You Game Must Relate To or Be Inspired By A Personal Moment In Your Life In other words, we want your game to really mean something to you, even if its not obvious to the rest of us exactly how, we want your games to come from a special/powerful/meaningful place. Last TAG wasn't the biggest, everyone is back on their regular work schedules (including myself!) and universities are in session, but fingers crossed that a few folks c
