So, I might be working on another game here soon.
If I make enough progress and decide I want to work on it seriously, would you read a development blog for it?

I think you should post and elaborate, three-people-who-voted.
And what about everyone else?

Well, I don't really know what kind of game you're working on... Thinking...

If I knew some things about it, I could say more. If I think that game might be interesting, I'd probably also read a development blog of it. If not, well, then I probably wouldn't. Confused

Yeah, good point...
But it's a bit hard to come up with a short explanation.

Well, then you cannot expect much more than even more "I'm not sure"-votes, I'm afraid. Confused

Come on, sleep a night about it, and then think about it more concentratedly. It shouldn't be too hard to at least explain what's going to be going on in your game in the first place.

Actually, I'm far enough along that I could even post a (very basic) screenshot of it.

I guess I may as well stop being lazy and explain it.

So you have this character who is basically just a little ball of purple jelly... goo... slime... stuff. Everything kills it. It does not have the ability to destroy anything; it can only push monsters away from it. But the goal is to kill the monsters.
So you have to knock them into spikes and other such deadly stuff (which, of course, can kill you too).
It'll be an arcade style thing; you just survive for as long as you can (you'll have a certain amount of lives), and get as many points as you can.

So, yes, it is pretty simple. But then weird things will happen to change things around (like random changes in the strength of gravity or the speed at which you can move).
Also, at the beginning, you have a lot of options to change the difficulty of the game, and the harder you make it, the more points you get.
You can unlock extra features by getting a lot of points.

Hmmm... Sounds cool! Very Happy

I think I'd be willing to try it out once you've got a beta ready - it sounds fun and pretty original. Confused

Yes. ESPECIALLY if Fafnir-Cola makes a stand too! Very Happy

That actually sounds pretty cool, I'd like to try it once you get it done.
