My ideas

At first, I didn't like the theme. But I started reading some of the posts here and thinking about all the different ways to interpret "Running out of space" and writing them down. Then I got some sleep. The ideas started to come gradually this morning, and now I've picked one that I think I will be able to make into a fun game.

Here's my list, feel free to steal my ideas!

  • Popular restaurant. You are the Maitre'd and you have to assign diner groups to tables.

  • Disk drive is getting full. You need to delete some files. But which are vital code? Replace drives in racks in a server farm.

  • Hospital beds

  • Orbital debris. You are a space janitor, and you have to clean up orbital debris for satellites and rocket launches. https://www.space.com/24895-space-junk-wild-clean-up-concepts.html

  • Car parking spaces

  • Big family in a small house. Clear out rooms or save for an extension.

  • Running = Smuggling. in space.

  • Literally running. Spacewalk race?

  • Running = Managing. Space delivery company?

  • Running = Creeping/growing tendrils from space

  • Personal space. You have to navigate a crowded street/tube/etc without maxing out your proximity meter or anyone elses - otherwise you/they lose it!

  • Outer space.

  • Inner space. Nano entities inside a body.

  • You are defending against enemies that consume the ground you are on. You need the ground around you for resources.

  • When you fail, the path you took is closed off.

  • You are getting bigger. You have to escape before you get stuck. Might work with Inner space.

I've already spotted some of these ideas in the feed - great minds think alike!
