# LD50 Ideas
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Delay the inevitable
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* advancing army: eg., FTL
|
||
|
|
* chess where the opponent keeps getting new pieces
|
||
|
|
* space invaders
|
||
|
|
* tomogotchi with a medical condition: keep managing it. while trying to acheive some other goal?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Fragile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* hang on to something with a precarious control scheme, eg. waiting tables with a stack of plates
|
||
|
|
* low health (bullet hell, or 1-hit KO)
|
||
|
|
* navigate social interactions
|
||
|
|
* perform a task precisely: small errors may have large consequences
|
||
|
|
* eg., solder simulator. components crack when overheated, or esd death when touched
|
||
|
|
* surgeon sim but more serious? heh
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Make connections
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* crap puzzles like missing pipes or wires
|
||
|
|
* make your own mental connections in solving a puzzle based on clues
|
||
|
|
* detective work
|
||
|
|
* making (and breaking) connections to manage a systemic capacity (eg. MiniMetro)
|
||
|
|
* social engineering
|
||
|
|
* connecting pieces with no particular goal: frankenstein monsters, hip bone is connected to the toe bone?
|
||
|
|
* connect different concepts or systems in a process (eg. that medicine making puzzle game)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Mutation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* alter yourself to fit better, or to succeed
|
||
|
|
* the challenge keeps mutating: you need to adapt
|
||
|
|
* managing with extra functionality due to mutation (eg. your job now has extra tasks that you need to do)
|
||
|
|
* identifying mutations (spot the difference?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Teleportation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* teleportation is complicated. your star trek teleporter takes you through hell before you rematerialize
|
||
|
|
* you can only teleport, and so have to go back and force to solve a problem
|
||
|
|
* movement is always in steps instead of linear. eg. you move like a chess piece while everything around you moves freely
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## A single resource
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* literally any game with just one resource: life, time, etc.
|
||
|
|
* finding 'creative' uses for the one thing you have
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Folklore
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* an experience based on a folk story?
|
||
|
|
* story building "I heard that..."
|
||
|
|
* make combined with some elements of a rock-paper-scissors version of burning wheel's social
|
||
|
|
combat to try and find which narrative is accepted as part of the story
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Shelter
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* crosses over in part with infestation
|
||
|
|
* survival
|
||
|
|
* home maintenance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Infestation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* burn all the things
|
||
|
|
* the paranoia and discomfort of living with bedbugs
|
||
|
|
* spending energy to control or modify a chaotic environment to prevent the infestation from coming in
|
||
|
|
* where's waldo
|
||
|
|
* bop 'em reflex thing
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Road trip

|
||
|
|

|
||

|
||
|
|
* activities (games, stories, podcasts/music/etc)
|
||
|
|

||
|
|

|
||
|
|

|
||
|

||
|
|
* does your cruise control work
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tunnels
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* is this like a special case of make connections?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Overgrown
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* is this like infestation?
|
||
|
|
* more precise in not wanting to remove something?
|
||
|
|
* difficult to move or see what's coming
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Out of order
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* find pieces of a thing
|
||
|
|
* find a way to return to calm
|
||
|
|
* enforce the order beat 'em up
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Space is limited
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* any game I make basically
|
||
|
|
* many games progress from small levels to larger. perhaps fixed size, or they progress from larger to smaller and it becomes more difficult (how?)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Combine
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* put items together
|
||
|
|
* connect different concepts or systems in a process (eg. that medicine making puzzle game)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Garden
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* a large multi-tomagotchi situation
|
||
|
|
* sorting or optimization problem: given space and plants and their neighbour interactions, get the
|
||
|
|
best results possible
|
||
|
|
* plant identification (lol just flash cards, but in the compo I can't use outside pictures of a thing unless I take them myself or alter them in a meaningful way)
