Simplify Monopoly a bit, and add it to the Shoebox. That seems like a plan, right?!
I mean, I will need a whole bunch of art. AI Art will be used a fair bit, I imagine. But otherwise it's just a simple enough game.
Squares, moving pieces, dice. What could possibly go wrong?!
My head's kinda spinning with crazy ideas to go with it, though, which .. Honestly, I think this might be a two week game, already, and I've barely even started, except for vague thoughts.
Hmm.
Am I running out of ideas, now?
Sure does seem WAY harder than it used to, to come up with even a vague plan of action.
Used to be I could mess about with some code and "bingo" an Idea strikes.
Nowadays if I mess about in JSE too much, my head starts wondering what JSE tweaks I can make, and I end up not leaving myself enough time to write anything!
I sat staring at VidGen2 for about an hour yesterday, clicking through all the different effects, and wondering how I could tweak them.
..
You know, instead of actually coding the game I'd been thinking about.
Is that just procrastinating, or is it something more than that?
The Game Archive currently has 894 games. That's 6 games to reach 900, and only (!) 106 games to get to 1,000.
It'd be daft to give up now, right?!
Keep going, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only 106 more games to do.
Meanwhile..
The new telly showed up yesterday, all vibrant and bright, crisp and sharp. A beautiful telly.
Mmm, newness..
Luvly pixels.
You know what I already hate about it?
...
It's this.
The Power LED is not centred...
RAWR!!!!!
Oh, and it has a TikTok button on the remote..
!!!!
The future is bleak!
A.I. Corner
Today's tune : I wrote the chorus, Claude AI wrote the rest. > Reveal 🔎
[chorus]
Keep going onwards, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only a hundred and six
more games to do.
[verse]
Every week, a brand new quest,
A pixelated world to manifest.
With code and colors, dreams take flight,
Another challenge in the dead of night.
[Pre-Chorus]
One more idea, another start,
A brand new game, straight from the heart.
[Chorus]
Keep going onwards, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only a hundred and six
more games to do.
[break]
[Verse 2]
From platform jumps to puzzles deep,
You weave the magic, lose no sleep.
Bugs and glitches may come your way,
But nothing stops the games you play.
[bridge]
When the code won't run, and the screen turns blue,
Just remember the fun, all the worlds you drew.
One step at a time, keep making that climb,
The joy of creation is worth every rhyme.
[Pre-Chorus]
One more idea, another start,
A brand new game, straight from the heart.
[Chorus]
Keep going onwards, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only a hundred and six
more games to do.
[Outro]
Retro sprites and chiptune beats,
Chasing highs, avoiding defeats.
Your passion's shining, bold and bright,
A weekly wonder, a coder's delight.
[Chorus]
Keep going onwards, Jay.
Power on through.
You've only a hundred and six
more games to do.
One more idea, another start,
A brand new game, straight from the heart.
[Green enters Dave's apartment cautiously. The room is surprisingly tidy, with no kittens in sight. Dave is sitting calmly on the couch, reading a book.]
Green: [suspiciously] Dave? What's going on here?
Dave: [looking up] Oh, hey Greenie! Just having a quiet morning.
Green: [looking around] Where are all the kittens? And the chaos? And the inevitable Coke spills?
Dave: Oh, that. I decided to take a different approach.
Green: [still skeptical] You haven't blown anything up, have you?
Dave: [chuckling] No explosions this time, promise.
Green: [sitting down] Alright, out with it. What's really going on?
[Scene Two]
Int. Dave's apartment - A few minutes later
[Dave and Green are sitting on the couch. Dave is explaining his new plan.]
Dave: So, I was thinking about what you said about stripping out the rabbits from BurrowOffice.
Green: [surprised] You actually listened to me?
Dave: Of course! And I realised, maybe the problem wasn't the animals, but the chaos they brought.
Green: [sarcastically] You don't say.
Dave: So, I've pivoted. BurrowOffice is now ZenOffice - a VR spreadsheet experience for ultimate relaxation and productivity!
Green: People usually get stressed when doing Data processing, though. I'm not sure the two would work together.
Dave: But hear me out! Picture this: soothing ocean sounds, gentle breezes, and spreadsheets that float like clouds!
Green: Yes, I can definitely picture myself far away from here.
[Scene Three]
Int. Dave's apartment - Afternoon
[Dave is demonstrating his new VR setup to Green, who looks skeptical but slightly intrigued.]
Dave: And here's the best part - no more Coke-powered devices!
Green: [genuinely surprised] Well, that's... actually an improvement.
Dave: Instead, we have calming herbal tea simulations!
Green: [facepalming] Of course we do.
Dave: Want to try it out?
Green: [hesitantly] I suppose it can't be worse than the kittens.
[Green puts on the VR headset. Suddenly, he's surrounded by a serene beach scene with spreadsheets gently floating by.]
Green: [removing the headset] Okay, I'll admit, that was... not terrible.
Dave: [excitedly] See? ZenOffice is going to revolutionise the workplace!
Green: [cautiously] Maybe. But please, for the love of all that's holy, don't try to add any talking cats to this one.
Dave: [grinning] No promises, Greenie. No promises.
[End credits roll, featuring Dave and Green attempting to do yoga poses while working on floating spreadsheets in a VR zen garden.]
