Aslanemperor 48 Posted February 4 Okay! I'm a vivid dreamer, and I just woke up from a very interesting dream! In the dream, I was learning the controls to a game. Within the dream, the person explaining it said something about Star Trek, but while it's possible that there's a Star Trek episode about such a creature, I don't actually remember that. Anyway, I remembered enough about the game in my dream that I'm now interested in seeing it made! At first, everything seems simple: You're in a living ship which naturally generates damaging plasma. Each turn, you must release the plasma or it will grow too hot and damage the ship. Anything under the ship when you release the plasma will be damaged/destroyed. You must make your way to your next goal without hurting things which you find important. Sounds simple so far, right? The plot twist is, the creature is constantly morphing its shape based on its movement! Players must take what seems like random shape changes into account when choosing their moves! The final twist that is brought in towards the end of the dream is the introduction of purposefully allowing the ship to grow to hot in order to release a special super-heated plasma in order to cause fire that spreads when you want. I believe that in the dream, there are certain enemy structures which can only be destroyed by fire, and sometimes you have to stop the enemy. In those cases, I think the key will be to create a fire that doesn't spread in such a way as to destroy your allies. I don't imagine that this would be all that hard for a game designed with actual ability to code to handle, but since I barely handle the few lines of scripting in VX-Ace needed to track a player's movement for puzzles and that only by listening to someone guide me through it bit by bit, I am clearly not the one to make it. I'd love to see this little puzzle game come to life and don't even really care about credit. All I ask is that the end product be free! Is anyone interested in turning this into more than an interesting but weird dream? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
