Well the theme is a good one, and I’ve got a few ideas I’m happy with, but I’m feeling guilty; all my ideas are quite simple and a bit clichéd.  I wanted to make XCOM where you are the aliens, plus your home base is an alien version of Skyrim, and there are driving bits like F-Zero, all wrapped around an insightful and touching storyline.  Either that or I wanted to make a game so innovative that there are no words in any language to describe it.  Anyway in the end I’ve decided to go for a platformer.
Good luck everyone!

Also I’m still offering free UK badges if anyone wants one, details in my first post here:
