+# Trijam 355 ("Inconvenient Superpowers")
+This is my potential entry for this weekend's "Trijam", the three-hour game jam hosted on itch.io.
+If you're not familiar with Trijam, here's a link to the description with everything you need to know: https://itch.io/jam/trijam-355
+## My idea
+The theme for this weekend's jam is "Inconvenient Superpowers", whic reminded me of an idea I've been wanting to try out for a while.
+It's for a top-down stealth game where hurting enemies also hurts you.
+I got the idea from Octavia Butler's book, "Parable of the Sower," which you should totally read if you haven't.
+The main character has a condition that makes her *literally* feel other people's pain (and pleasure). 
+## Progress so far
+So far I've only gotten the top-down movement working in a reasonably effective way.
+I still need to add enemies with "cones of vision", as well as an environment, obstacles, and some kind of goal. 
+I'm very interested in collaborating on this. 
+Reach out if you have any thoughts!
