We’ve just brought our premature baby home and I decide to start @McFunkyPants’ 12in12 challenge early? What am I thinking? My wife will definitely say “you are the villain!” Well I’m in for as much as I can manage! Perhaps 6 hours over 2 days?<\/p>\n
Awoke for 4am feed, whipped out phone and checked for the theme…<\/p>\n
“You are the villain”<\/p>\n
Brainstorming…<\/p>\n
– Hungry Goat (stealing food which means everything, like clothes, etc)
\n – Stop Santa! (you try to stop… Why am I explaining this one?)
\n – Present Thief (wanna all da pwesents!)
\n – Jack Frost in stop the World! \/ Traffic game jam (freeze things to cause mayhem)
\n – Snowflake uniqueness answer (how do they each become unique? They fight!)
\n – Oil Co Exploits (Arctic Edition)
\n game lose screen shows Oil Co boss saying “but <player name>, you asked for cheap fuel, electricity, plastic, etc. I was just trying to make you happy. Aren’t… *YOU* the villain?”
\n Game play area shrinks as polar cap melts.
\n Ozone layer hole shrinks as greenhouse gases released. (believe that’s the South Pole over Antarctica – is exaggeration forgivable?)<\/p>\n
Ok, that has legs and seems topical given they’re doing this right now so…<\/p>\n
Game style potentials:
\n – Casual minesweeper-like
\n Click\/Touch areas to try them for resources before time expires.
\n – Something actually innovative!
\n Sorry ego, gotta finish so not this time!
\n – Resource planning \/ building?
\n Extract maximum oil, minerals, etc within play time.
\n – Tower defence?
\n Seals, penguins, polar bears, Greenpeace (and the occasional Easter egg goat \/ kitten \/ Santa Claus \/ Elf?) arrive and try to stop you mining.<\/p>\n
Hmm, could do all of these incrementally and whatever makes it in is it!<\/p>\n
Right back to sleep in case subconscious mind comes up with better!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
P.s. Disclaimer in case not obvious to RSPCC, baby & mum are getting priority \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n \n
