Having an idea stick in your head

For the past few months I've had an idea that I kind of built out in my game here https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/50/anyas-valley stick in my head. Farming, where instead of watering and fertilizing, you just try and meet the plant's needs with the environment. It didn't work out so well for this theme, and I think I might have done better to not focus so much on what I wanted to build. Does anyone else get this kind of thing? While it wasn't quite how I wanted it, you can built a heart scene in the game, which is really fun :)
