Bug reports

(1) "you have to add the die thing" (3) the "hole" to the next level can get lost under the HUD

• Do the bad guys hurt you or not?
• It's not hitting me (not clear what movement is per turn).
• "The different levels are not very hard"
• "We should put more walls or make the map harder to see or make it harder to get to the map or add more bad guys"
• Unclear what the items do
• No indication that you take damage.

New Game idea:

Theme ideas

• Open World
• Build Your Way Out
• Descent into Madness
• Parallel Universe
• Inconvenient Superpowers
• Death Is A New Beginning
• Color Changes Everything

Thoughts

• 2D
• Worlds could be at differnet scale
• Decending into layers could provide you access into things to change them?
• Game should be fun, even if you never get to the end?
• Want to be able to link to the built world.

k meets factorio meets zelda?

MVP notes

• Travel between rooms (zelda style)

Emotionally

• Earth right after crust has cooled
• End of the game, cities, oceans, reached the modern world.
• As you progres through the game, you become "lifeform level X" which operates at greater scale.
• Whatever you did at Lifeform level x-1, the NPCs should do for you.
• Game where you are a hand and you could punish or reward the cat for what it did. You could reward or punish.
• At the end, should be teming with life.
• At the beginning you are an ameoma. Later you're a cat. But still amoba level things shoudl still happen.
