I will. I think I’m going to create a black-and-white platform game - kind of like Limbo.
Fear is an illusion!
would like to do it, but i’m saving myself for the next ludam dare 
in 13 days. Its hard to work during the week, so a weekend will be more fair competition, for me at least.
This is what I’m going for:
For this upcoming contest, Nyphoon's entry will be a platform game. In this game, you will control a frightened little boy in his quest to exit the realm of his nightmares.
Of course, the theme of fear will have to be respected. Therefore in this game, the colours I'll be using will be a gradient of black-white.
Monsters from your nightmare will try to stop you, and if they touch you, that means instant death. You will also be restricted by time. The longer you stay in darkness, the more the fear induced in you. Therefore you will have to find a light source to remove that fear.
Currently, I've started working on the core elements of a platform game - mainly the jumping and walking mechanics and simple collisions. More details daily.
I'll be posting almost all of my posts on my FB and Twitter, so if you want to support me, I'd greatly appreciate it: http://www.facebook.com/NyphoonGames
As some have told me, the graphics will probably be very similar to Limbo, although the concept and gameplay will be quite different. I don’t want people telling me I copied Limbo. Any tips on how to change this?
Thanks for the news.

Understandable, but you can be sure some numbnut will flail his arms around and accuse you of blatant ripoff. "It's B&W! It's a ripoff!" That, you can be sure of. It's the sad reality.
I changed the game because I noticed I would have spent hours rigging the models.
GameJolt Contest 8 Entry: Kreatures
Description: Kreatures are everywhere. You're god, and your tribe is being attacked by these Kreatures. Protect them. Don't let them lose your faith in you!
Using tetris-like gameplay, you must build a wall. However, the Kreatures will attack your wall and try to bring it down. If the wall is low, the tribe's fear increases - and if it increases by a certain amount, the tribe leaves you. If the wall is high, the fear decreases.
Save your tribe!
Yesterday I spent 11 hours working on it, and spent 6 more so far today. I'm moving along well. You can follow my progress here: https://twitter.com/NyphoonGames
Meanwhile - am I the only monkey entering?
