Will there be a list of themes to vote on, or will one just be assigned before the start?

I opened theme voting in the Discord in the #gamejam-themes channel.

Oh ok. Don’t use the monogame discord much, i find it hard to find stuff lol.

It’s definitely a more unique one. But there’s a lot of opportunities for creativity.

Oh dear. I missed this due to the ambiguity in the dates above - I wasn’t expecting it the actual jam to start until the 10th.
My wife and I came up with a really good idea too.
Have been sick all week in any case so I guess it wasn’t to be.

If you want to work on a game, I can allow you to submit later if you want.

Yeah, I noticed that the itch embed is showing weird dates.
