An Internet Vagabond

My #lovejam2026 game idea is starting to come together. Once again, I'll be using #fennel to program it, starting from the excellent and convenient https://codeberg.org/alexjgriffith/min-love2d-fennel by @Alexjgriffith.

The theme is "counter."

I had some initial thoughts, but after saying "counter" out loud is enough different and somewhat wacky ways, I settled on a game about magic duels. You and your opponent each must balance casting and countering spells.

I'm not sure what gameplay looks like yet. For the magic system, spells will have some cost, like a mana cost. That resource can be generated over time, but there is a limit. Countering a spell will give you a surge of the resource. If you ever overload on the resource, you explode.

Not sure how to make spells yet. Not sure how to generate the casting resource yet.
