Not Quite Sure

I’m not sure what kind of game I’m going to make or even if I’m really going to try to compete.  However, I did hack together the start of a little program, but I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it.

I haven’t decided upon a theme yet, so I don’t know what kind of gameplay I’ll have.  At first I was thinking about the theme ‘Random,’ so I wrote up a little random terrain and trees generator.  I didn’t know what kind of colors I wanted to go with so I tried it with both day and night options.

Day, night, terrain, trees

I personally like the night scene more than day.  I noticed that “Light and Darkness” is one of the options, but I’m still not sure what I might do.  Currently there is no way of dynamically transitioning between day and night.

The themes I might be most interested in are, “Construction/Destruction” (Perhaps building cities on the mountains … or something?), “Indirect Interaction”, or “Swarms” (UFO’s?).

I guess I’m going to sleep on it.

    Wow, that looks really nice. Reminds me of Gumboy Crazy Adventures. Transitioning between the two might be cool, but I think it’s against the rules. I also kinda like the night scene better, but the day scene looks more original perhaps. A sort of hot desert look. Makes me thirsty just looking at it.
