Here is a dump of all of my project ideas. I probably won’t make most of these (other than a few of the games). If you end up making one of these email me and tell me about it : )

Games

This section goes first because these ideas can all be said in one line. If a game idea takes more than a sentence to understand it’s probably too complicated (coming from the developer of Absolute Infinity lol)

  • Firefighting game with pesticide (“Ecocide”?) instead of water.
    • I made an attempt at making this before, but it was awful and rushed and terrible
  • Asymmetrical multiplayer shooter where people try to maintain a nuclear reactor while a raider group breaks in and tries to destroy it.
  • Platformer where items you can’t see don’t exist, and your vision is constricted somehow.
    • I prototyped tech for this in Permanence, but that is more of a tech demo than a game & it sucks
  • Absolute Infinity style 2d space combat in multiplayer
  • Management sim where you debug problems in an ISV1 as they occur (like Seedship but more in-depth)
  • A free roaming point & click game that is rendered in real time, and the player is chased by something.
  • Shooter Platformer inspired by DOORS and White Knuckle

I would also be interested in remaking some of my past GMTK games and giving them more depth. I feel like crossing Expedition 251 with Seedship could be interesting. I also think that Scale Tale had a really interesting core mechanic and could do with some more love & engine improvements.

Custom PKM

Logseq is awesome, but I do have a couple nitpicks with it. Perhaps I could add them to Logseq directly tho, who knows.

  • Would be written using native libraries (Logseq’s app is electron based so it is slower than I’d like, also a battery and memory suck)
  • Could turn into an excuse for yak shaving

Quotes Aggregator

For recording those “haha funny” moments

Custom Minimal Analytics System

I don’t really like Matomo that much. Google analytics is the devil. I need something I can self-host easily or something that can run inside the PHP shared hosting for this website.

Productivity Study

Survey as many people as possible about their productivity system and the perceived effectiveness of each system.

LanguageTool for Logseq

I love LanguageTool, and am very sad it doesn’t work in Logseq.

All-in one office app

A markdown editor that can read markdown files as slideshows, as well as text documents, and competent table support.

ASCII Fluid Simulation

Make a see of ASCII characters that have a fluid simulation behind them, as a background for a website. Inspiration: https://www.trail.mx/
