They say ideas are a dime a dozen. Below are over 30 of them, worth more than an entire quarter.
Are you sick of games always being about dragons and machine guns? It's finally time for an update on
the most popular one-player sport of the 1700s. Challenge yourself in over 22 different locations such
as the Grand Canyon and the Oval Office. Hear your character mumble various swears and oddly specific
critiques on the game engine every time you miss, eventually questioning why they're doing this at all.
It'd be cool if the Wizard of Oz was an online game (World of Oz or Wizard of Warcraft or something).
You can join guilds like Lollipop Guild or Flying Monkey Guild. Nobody would bother completing the main
quest to Kansas. A lot of people would choose to play as a scarecrow since they'd be good against the
zombies, since they have no brains. Then again, the tin man would be good against everybody, since he has no heart.
Or is it the witch who has no heart? For some reason having no heart makes you weak against water. Oz is odd.
Back when I was 8 or so I had this video game idea of a skunk
that could use his spray to jetpack places (as a double jump ability),
and also you could spray enemies to kill them, because it's not a regular spray,
it's some kind of sulfuric acid xenomorph-esque kind of spray.
You'd collect apples and fight a guy made of poison ivy.
It'd be kind of like Super Mario 64 or Banjo Kazooie.
You face the evil Dr. Owlbadger – he's a combination of the skunk's 3 main predators: owls, badgers, and people.
After you defeat his first form, he becomes what is essentially a chemically formed lava-acid hybrid god.
You defeat it by whacking it a bunch of times with your fluffy skunk tail.
This is like Asteroids, but more green. No matter what it always tells you you got the high
score. You get it? Ha. It says that since it just forgets the old score no matter what it was. The fact
that that's easier to program is just a bonus. You're also shooting at CBD molecules, so that's right kids and
parents, it's educational as well.
There are 3 types of telephone poles — wood, stone, and metal. You have 3 devices — chainsaw,
jackhammer, and heat laser. Chainsaw cuts wood, but can't cut stone or metal. Jackhammer cuts stone, can't cut
metal, and will cause too much environmentally problematic debris on wood. Heat laser cuts metal, will cause too
much environmentally problematic debris on stone, and will cause too many wildfires on wood. Your job is
to rapidly switch between your 3 devices to cut down the outdated telephone poles while your driver speeds down
the highway. I got this idea by being a passenger in a car at one point.
Here's an idea for the Apocalypse Olympics (Apocolympics). Two surfers will ride into each other while
carrying spear or swordfish. Whoever loses bleeds until they are eaten by sharks. The winner gets a free
surfboard make from pieces of old yachts though, so it's not all that bad.
You are an adventurer in the middle of the woods. You have accidentally glued yourself to a wall in a crafting mishap,
and you're out of ungluing potions! Night is approaching, and that's when most of the monsters come out to attack non-NPCs!
Luckily, you have a collection of 72 items stored in your back pocket to help fend off the enemies and heal yourself.
You must collect ingredients to make an ungluing potion.
You can do this by crafting a brewing table made out of items dropped by monster corpses.
Your inventory window will take up 90% of the screen, so it's best not to have it open all the time if you want to see what's going on.
Items can be sorted alphabetically or reverse alphabetically.
12 will show up on a page at a time, and you can have up to 12 pages of items.
You can drop items but you will automatically pick them back up after 5 seconds, so time your drops!
And don't forget — when in doubt, remember to press E for invEntory!
This is about a superhero who dresses up as a baseball bat.
His backstory is that his parents were killed by two consecutive foul balls.
He uses a lot of bad baseball puns and CATCH phrases that come out of left field.
Batman 2 drives a car shaped like a baseball bat, and it's very inefficient.
He uses a baseball signal that's shaped like a circle and could be anybody's signal, or possibly the moon.
However, he's better than the original Batman at pretty much everything, which really pisses him off.
He also always calls Batman "Batman 1" even though he hates it.
"Sorry, Batman 1!" says Batman 2. "Don't call me Batman 1!" says Batman 1.
A remake of Antz, but it's Auntz. All the scenes from Antz, remade with people's aunts.
They all live in an Aunthill, and there will be lots of puns in their names like Auntie Depressant and Auntie Perspirant.
In one scene, the aunts attach their bodies together to form a giant wrecking ball, just like in the Antz movie.
Everything will be in CGI, which will increase the cost of production quite a bit. It'll be worth it though.
Trust me.
It's like Memento where the main character is experiencing short term memory loss,
except instead of it being a brain injury it's just about a guy who constantly smokes weed
and refuses to stop because he has a good sticky note system.
On the wall it says "towel time", which probably has something to do with water,
and on the toaster it says "no", because you shouldn't.
He also has a tattoo on his chest that says "Tuesday is Garbage Day" that he ends up re-discovering every Wednesday.
This is a reverse movie parody, taking a movie that was supposed to be a comedy and making it serious.
The full title is "Sir, Where's My Car? My Son Was in There.
What I Did Last Night was Really Irresponsible, and I Have No One to Blame but Myself".
It's kind of a long title for a movie, but each word feels too important to remove.
Remember that time over a century ago when a 2.3 million gallon molasses storage tank exploded?
To make sure no one will repeat the same mistake, this movie will educate the populace.
All we have to do is take the Titanic movie and play it at 1/8th the speed,
and in sepia tone, with the ship parts cropped out.
Some may argue this molasses didn't move as slow as stereotypical molasses,
but you have to alter the facts a little for entertainment purposes.
This is a movie that's 2 hours of credits,
but everyone on Earth with a name we can find will be credited,
so people will watch it trying to pause at the exact frame their name goes by.
The world population is about 8 billion – that's over 1 million people per second
(at a size 2 font at 600 frames per second).
They're hungry, and they're angry!
It's the same as regular Hungry Hungry Hippos,
except I'll draw unibrows on all the hippos' heads.
Also, they all have to fight over one ball.
The colors will all represent different types of anger.
There's raging red, incredibly hulky green, so mad you can't breathe blue, and conservative white,
who is just mad that the other colors are allowed to be a part of the game.
