I got nothing but ideas\u2026 Well, I also have a black screen that you can press ESC to exit.\u00a0 But anyway, none of the ideas are really kicking it.\u00a0 The most unique one, but one I am not at all sure I want to do, is something like this: You\u2019re a old prospector type guy, carrying a keg of gunpowder.\u00a0 It has a hole, as they always do, so you leave a trail behind.\u00a0 You\u2019re in a place filled with explosives.\u00a0 After a set time, the end of your fuse lights and begins chasing after you.\u00a0 It blows up any explosives it gets near, and of course if it gets to you, it blows you up too.\u00a0 You can put the keg down any time, so the goal is A> blow stuff up without getting killed (put the keg down and hide before the flame gets to you), and B> blow up as much stuff as possible.<\/p>\n
The chain reaction is that obviously all the explosives blow up other explosivs near them.\u00a0 So the strategy is in putting your fuse down well without getting blown up along the way.\u00a0 Seems kinda fun, but I don\u2019t know about actually making it\u2026 well, after writing it, it\u2019s strongly considered.<\/p>\n
Other ideas include a Bangaio-style shooter where guys who explode blow up other guys near them, so you want to cluster them up and destroy them.\u00a0 Also, a guy with a chain who smashes enemies, sending them flying into other enemies for a chain-based chain reaction (but chain physics scares me).\u00a0 Another is\u00a0 something along the lines of pool, shoot out a ball that hits enemies, and they go flying and hit other enemies.<\/p>\n
But behind all that stuff is the idea that I kinda wanted to make a turn-based thing, like a board game or card game.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know, though.\u00a0 So many ideas, so little interest in them\u2026 maybe the prospector thing.<\/p>\n
