It seems I have been influenced.
So I was coding when suddenly my music player played one of my favorite songs, “End of Solitude” by Kagamine Rin. Have a look at this part of the lyrics…
Ah, a mirage at the end of this solitude
The moon that is blue is caught in the back of here
Ah, At the end of repeats, I can only see
I see, the moon is gently dreaming right nowWaste the property and then forget and leave
It disappears like that because it has no form
Now compare to my whiteboard ideas: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2011/12/17/here-we-go-again-9/
“Waste the property and then forget and leave” -> “upgrades by destroying”
“Ah, At the end of repeats, I can only see” -> “repeats”
“The moon that is blue is caught in the back of here” -> “goal: blue spheres”
I can’t tell if this is a coincidence or I subconsciously wrote that down. Well, while I’m at it, I might as well take more ideas. A game based on a song, woo!
