I started doing a game about traffic congestion once. I think thats really doable, carefully placing traffic lights and speed bumps strategically to minimize accidents and journey times. I’m sure a lot of kids playing counterstrike would think thats tragic, but I bet theres some people reading this who would at least try the demo :D.

A puzzle game! I want to play! Do it in Flash, maybe?

A 3D first person cat simulator, with shader effects ‘predator style’ for night vision could be awesome, purring abilities, 9 lives etc.

There’s a game on the PS2 called “Dog’s Life” where someone is dognapping animals and you, as a dog, take it upon yourself to find out why. Abilities include smell-o-vision (following scent trails), barking at other dogs (take command of them) and pooping! While walking around the city I often imagine a sim-pigeon game where you find crumbs and poop on designated targets with game extras like extra points if the target is moving. You could work your way up to flocks and carpet-bombing hotdog stands. There’s a game out now called “Wolf Quest” (or similar) where you live life as a wolf in the wild.

I have a top secret game idea that I must do one day. I started it recently but couldn’t visualise the interface right. Maybe it will be after the next game.

You wouldn’t be willing to share this idea with me for help, would you?

It’s funny, I was thinking about the traffic lights idea again a lot recently.
