super secret game plans

[kossai]

... and by plans , what kossai really mean is , things that would be very cool to make , but problem is lack of knowledge and skills to make happen , lack of words and energy , or both . mention on tumblr that have lots of ideas for games , but nothing that is small enough to start and finish quickly for actual accomplishment of finish .

but still probably nice to write out those big ideas . these things feel theoretically achievable , with enough time to figure out and word help :

• actually finish faerie maze game - can not overstate how much kossai bite off with this one . really love , really want to finish , not sure would be able . especially feel like people would be liable to ignore if not get all text completely rewritten .
• smaller faerie house game - something in style of trick / treat , smaller with randomisation .
• simplistic faerie theme incremental game - because of course ! build up court to kidnap largest amount of humans . :P
• minigame collection - as inspire by childhood faerie experiences , specifically .
• trance experiment visual novel - actually have proof of concept , at least for random dialogue code .
• " kissing game " but glamourbombs - remember those flash games ? yeah literally that , dart around to glamourbomb but make sure no one catch .

and things that expect to never really be achievable for kossai :

• changeling raising sim - this could be from one of two angles , or perhaps do both between two chapters : prepare faerie child to swap place with human , and raise that human as faerie .
• make daggerfae - love towns in daggerfall , can really feel like just one person among many . and that feeling would owe perfectly to undercover faerie game , in which lure humans away without draw too much attention - otherwise risk townsfolk figure out and chase away .
• really big yume nikki or LSD dream emulator type exploration game - what else is there to say ? either one is perfect format for exploration of strange faerie worlds . additional problem here : have to choose that format , and then forever lament about what chosen format lack in comparison .

so ... yeah . definitely lots of ideas here , but nothing that is quickly achievable for that satisfaction of finish something .

most confident to work with : twine , rpg maker MV
can fiddle with basic stuff : javascript , ren'py
would like to revisit : bitsy , OBSHAGCE
would like to try out : decker , bitsy 3d , flickgame

this wiki is really cool repository of engines and tools , lots out there worth try . just ... need ideas ...

we often crave making yume nikki/LSD-like... never actually sure what to make in it

[kossai]

yeahh ... actually have old work in progress for yume nikki like , where experience with RMMV come from , but that was exactly problem - how to make world relatively cohesive , and secrets relatively understandable despite some possible obscurity . not all these games perfectly cohesive sure , just look at 2kki , but 2kki also justify self as massive collab . :P
