To ease my hype I decided to do a short brainstorming for each possible theme:\n\n(note: my games are story oriented, therefore most ideas are focused on the story, not game mechanics)\n\n**1) Dreams** - A guys has been having weird dreams about him dying. In the end it turns out he is already dead. (clich\u00e9?)\n\n**2) You are the power source** - You are a powerful wizard living in his tower\/castle, and other less powerful wizards are coming to you for help. You need to distribute your powers (fire, ice, arcane...) effectively in order to complete quests.\n\n**3) Turn a violent genre non-violent** - Horror game in which zombies tend your garden and you need to take care of them. \n\n**4) An abandoned world** - Woman wakes up in the deserted land not knowing where she is. The main point is to find out what happened and where you are.\n\n**5) 1 minute to prepare** - You are a general in a huge battle. You need to align your forces properly before the battle. You have (you guessed it) one minute for it.\n\n**6) Decay** - You are a king, your land is slowly dying. You need to help your people any means necessary.\n\n**7) Side effects** - You are an alchemist mixing and selling your goods on the market. Each customer demands certain potions and you need to mix them. However each potion has a side effect and you need to make sure that it is always the least bad thing.\n\n**8) Fragile** - Your daughter is dying, you need to find cure for her.\n\n**9) Outdated technology** - It is 1990's. You are working in an old IT store and your job is to fix other people's computers.\n\n**10) Ruins** - Can be similar to the Decay theme.\n\n**11) Momentum** - Honestly have no idea about this one.\n\n**12) Automation** - You run a store\/warehouse and you boss your employees around. There will be a couple of tasks to do and you need to find the most effective way to do them.\n\n**13) Keep it alive** - Similar to Fragile maybe...?\n\n**14) Garden** - A detective story. There is a monster in your garden that eats your vegetables. You are investigating this crime in order to find out who or what did the mess.\n\n**15) Connections** - You are a merchant\/taxi traveling through galaxies, creating this *connection*, trading goods, flying people from A to B, etc.\n\n\nI hope I have inspired someone :) Have fun guys.\n","comments":9,"comments-timestamp":"2020-04-18T00:46:14Z","created":"2020-04-17T08:54:21Z","files":[],"files-timestamp":0,"id":189859,"love":21,"love-timestamp":"2020-04-17T20:31:02Z","meta":[],"modified":"2020-04-18T00:46:14Z","name":"Themes Ideas","node-timestamp":"2020-04-17T10:55:06Z","parent":181717,"parents":[1,5,9,176557,181717],"path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/last-hope\/themes-ideas","published":"2020-04-17T10:55:06Z","scope":"public","slug":"themes-ideas","subsubtype":"","subtype":"","type":"post","version":552501},"node_metadata":{"n_key":"189859","n_urlkey":"354991","n_parent":"181717","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/last-hope\/themes-ideas","n_slug":"themes-ideas","n_type":"post","n_subtype":"","n_subsubtype":"","n_author":"4018","n_created":"1587113661","n_modified":"1587170774","n_version":"552501","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"source_url":"https:\/\/ldjam.com\/events\/ludum-dare\/46\/last-hope\/themes-ideas","text":"![457a6cb9041971475093b39d583f85fc.gif](\/\/\/raw\/2bf\/z\/2a835.gif)\n\nSo naturally, as probably all of you, I am hyping.
