Thoughts on the Theme

Here I am, well rested and ready to rumble.

The theme is alone – I suppose that’s the closest we could get to “it’s dangrous to go alone, take this” 😛 Much better theme though, I only had lunch and I already have multiple ideas:

  • You’re a coder who wants to be left alone so he can code for Ludum Dare but people keep bugging him
  • Something involving a dating service
  • You’re all alone and hate it, so you clone yourself
  • Some kind of evil god game where you try to separate the people

Those are settings, no game ideas, but so far I like the theme. I’ll still spend some more time figuring out what I’ll actually do.

–edit–

More ideas!

  • You’re some kind of monster who really just wants to have a friend, but everybody’s scared of you and runs away. When you try to talk, you scream unintelligibly instead. It’d be some kind of point & click adventure and your goal is to find a friend – maybe by destroying the city and building a heart out of the rubble?
  • You’re an RPG hero who’s just “beat the game” – you found the best sword, beat the boss with two hits and saved the world. Now what should you do? Any monster you encounter flees when it sees you. You’re all alone. (But seriously: what should you do? This sounds like an interesting problem, but how should it be resolved? Let’s ask the IRC!)
