But I have several ideas\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A transportation game, sort of like <em>Transport Tycoon<\/em>. Little innovation value, but probably fun to program and play.<\/li>\n<li>Sort of a reverse version of the above, where you instead of handling transportation and trying to make a profit from that, you are the customer of transportation. Either as a government kind of thing, or just a company with stores and factories. A little more innovative perhaps, but I\u2019m not sure how it should play yet.<\/li>\n<li>A factory\/conveyor puzzle game, where you build or process some kind of product. Inspired by <em>Manufactoria<\/em>, among other things. Also not very innovative, but a good thing with puzzle games is you can make lots of levels for them, if the elements are good enough, and they tend to be fun.<\/li>\n<li>Some sort of industrialization sim, where at a start there\u2019s just a bunch of low tech farms, and then innovations makes things more effective, there becomes a surplus population, cities are formed, new industries are formed, and so on. Think it would be really interesting, but probably too large for an LD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So just have to figure out which to do\u2026 so far I\u2019ve just got my base code up and running.<\/p>\n<p>Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/factory\/\" rel=\"tag\">factory<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/ideas\/\" rel=\"tag\">ideas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/journal\/\" rel=\"tag\">journal<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/log\/\" rel=\"tag\">log<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/puzzle\/\" rel=\"tag\">puzzle<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/tag\/transportation\/\" rel=\"tag\">transportation<\/a><\/p>","time":"June 12th, 2010 1:03 am","title":"Ideas","title_was_empty":false}
