So the first night I had the idea of an unreachable area in levels that would have another person (controlled by AI). \u00a0You could see them through glass, and maybe communicate via hand signals. \u00a0I was thinking of puzzles like levers controlling doors on the other side and such.\"OopsStripey\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After sleeping I thought it was a silly\/bad idea and maybe take too long to get going. \u00a0So I thought maybe the connected worlds could be the real world and a game world. \u00a0So the player could be a gold farmer. \u00a0You’d sit and play World of Borecraft and sell items for real world money.<\/p>\n

With the money you could buy better food or new stuff to make yourself more healthy or better at the game.\"FarmerRoom\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After a while the idea grew sour, and I started thinking about spaceships hauling wormhole construction components between planets, science\/magic levels with lots of teleporter puzzles between them, or a cosmic toy breaking sim where you smash planets together for fun.<\/p>\n

I’ve thrown em all out, and still trying to think of something but less than a day left. \u00a0Here’s a timelapse of my so-far failure:<\/p>\n
