We all have one, that place where we keep all the really cool ideas that just don’t fit in the world we’ve built. What you got? What’s that cool thing you made that toy can’t really use?

    I quite literally have a folder called ‘concepts’ where I toss notes with ideas I have but don’t have the time, wherewithal, etc. to develop at the time. Sometimes I come back to them. Sometimes I delete them because they were stupid. A few get promoted to WIP.

    Samples:

    • The Fun-stage Situation: A guy shows up, captures some people, maybe a family, and forces them to do fun things under penalty of death.
    • Where’s Waldo and Carmen Sandiego travel the world committing crimes
    • Lifecycle: Two ships crash into each other, they merge materially and as crew, and grow by devouring other objects but it eventually grows unmaintainable and ‘dies.’

      Fun stage would be an amazing horror comedy! Do like part critique on people who take games too seriously, part critique on playing games emotionally, part straight up Saw spoof. Get a marketable enough character and I’m sure you’d have at least 6 sequel movies.
