Oh boy, I still haven't even started a game for this week.
Not that I haven't been trying, mind.

-=-=-

I have a couple of ideas, but none of the ideas have been interesting enough to me that I've bothered to start them.
Instead, I'm now looking at this morning's Platdude Pixelart and am wondering if that might be a good direction to go in. I mean, that's gameplay right there, right!?!
Add a few dangerous obstacles, and some nice jumping physics, and it's a full game, ready to go.
..
Yeah, that's probably what I'm going to do.

Heroic Halls

A Shoebox board game with heroes and warriors and battling knights, oh yeah!!!
This is essentially The Quest but minimised, and the concept seems perfectly valid and doable and gud gud gud.
This one seemed like it was actually going to happen for a while, there, and I even started to get DrawThings to generate a few elements to go in the game engine.
Mmmm!

...Then my head got stuck on the battles again.
That dice rolling thing.
The "automated" vibes.
I can't shake the feeling that that would be the absolute death of this game, no matter how fun and frantic I try to make those dice rolls.
I can't get past it.
And I really do need to get past it.

Horticultural Hedgehog

A garden, and a happy little Horticultural Hedgehog.
Tend to the garden, keep the flowers watered, etc.
I pictured a row of sunflowers along the back wall, each wilting at a random rate, and the hedgehog would have to run about watering them to keep them growing.

But I couldn't get past that.
I couldn't figure out how best to make it a fun little game, without turning it into yet another bland boring gardening game. And there's more than enough of those on the Switch, if you want to play one of those.
Nope, couldn't figure out gameplay, so scrapped that idea.
