Out of curiosity #gamedev folks, where are y’all getting your game ideas? Because so far if they’re not a direct experience of mine, mine deadass appear to me in a dream lmfao. That is how #BaitAndBleedGame exists btw just an absolutely nonsense dream

After that I wake up, start the project and the following night repeat and start a new one.
I usually get the ideas by playing other games! I tend to pay attention to games that convey interesting emotions through gameplay
Then I think about what kind of mechanic I would like to try to implement that will challenge my skills in a reasonable amount of time.
it's what I'm doing half the day anyways ^^
0/1
2/2
Obviously all of them are truly million dollar ideas 🫡
game about bus game about basketball game about this game im playing but different game about vegetable
I also think a lot about my childhood, the games I loved, the characters I looked up to, etc.
And same a lot of my characters tend to either be based on character I love or characters I wish I had growing up!
I am listening to a lot of 80s synth soundtracks and neo noir for one of my projects, and a looot of Classical music for the other.
And he’ll yeah love a bit of 80’s synth
Also I’m sorry you are remarkably calm about A HAMMERHEAD JUMPING INTO YOUR BOAT WHAT
Spore Tribal Stage... LittleBigPlanet... Soul Calibur...
Godlike customization, but it doesn't do a goddamn thing.
Meanwhile, in my game...
Custom materials, modular item shapes, cluster-items made of multiple items glued together, the works.
Hitbox Combat's working too.
I get really vivid visuals in my head bc mental illness, I sit and go "oh damn that was kinda fucked up" and then into Vekari it goes
This works best with the horror genre I find 😭
Also the games I play and like usually give me ideas.
I used to work at Geek Squad. So, basically personal experience.
And the assholes will be there as well, don’t you worry!
Pulling ideas from a dream is super cool and must be bizarre once it takes shape!
And agree on the idea notepad, I’ve got loads of pieces of paper with ideas somewhere
She didn't take it well.
I've had several dreams where I'm just straight up playing some game (outrun type grandma driving game, police sketch artist simulator but all the suspects are surreal monsters)
Slightly troubled to hear that the game you didn’t finish came to you in a dream, hope that doesn’t bode poorly for my dream-appearing games LOL 😂
And team brainstorming, ping pong and iterations over ideas and references
