So I'm going to be entering Ludum Dare 16 this year. What is Ludum Dare? It's a video game design competition where you have 48 hours to design a game from scratch by yourself. Leading up to the competition, themes and categories are nominated. The day before the event, everyone votes on their favorite theme. Then, 5 minutes before the contest begins, they announce the winning theme and everyone races to complete their game.
The theme for Ludum Dare 15 was CAVERNS. Every game had to involve caverns in some way. Past themes include Minimalism, Advancing Wall of Doom, Roads, and Infection.
So... since I can't start thinking about the game I want to make... all I can come up with are theme suggestions. The one that keeps popping up in my head is:
TURN BASED EATING
Think about it.
How fucking stupid does that sound?
But really...
Think about it.
HOW FUCKING AWESOME DOES THAT SOUND?
I will one day design a game that will allow you to jam a wire into your tongue and then you just eat whatever the fuck you want to earn points. Shitty food makes you die and great food makes you GOD. We could battle online to see who can eat better food. Me VS Wackydeli in a beer / southern cooking fite.
BUT I DIGRESS.
I need theme ideas for Ludum Dare 16. Wacky shit. Crazy shit. Something that would NEVER be voted upon.
