As usual, when a theme is announced in a game jam, I do a brain dump on anything that reminds me of that theme. This time, the theme was “millions of them.” Let’s see what I came up with:
- Millions of lives
- Millions of deaths
- Hundreds, but with millions
- Pikmin!
- Some sort of real-time strategy game?
- Maybe make something like Super Hexagon where you score a million, you get the ending
- Of them…?
- Bananas, thousands of them.
- Importing resources
- Global resource management
- Because Bananas
- Game with a scouter, in search of the million power level
- What
- Porn? I mean, there’s millions of them.
- Connection, something internet based.
- Twitch plays pokemon
- platformer that ends when a million lives are used up. Catch is that the life count is synchronized, as in, everyone in the world has only a million chances to beat it.
- Maybe a game about the lack of relevance of numbers might be useful.
- A physics game about destroying a million things.
- Zombies come a dime a dozen.
- Special zombie creating simulator.
- Pandemic.
- Shopping.
- How to become a millionaire.
- How to steal from a million people.
- The infinite of space!
- Star counting game.
- Almost nothing.
- Statistics. Convince people numbers are larger than they actually are.
- Light travels…really fast. Maybe traveling a million miles?
- Game about shadow clones. It records every movement.
- Replay mode.
- It’s the thought that counts
- One in a million.
- Something about beauty.
- Perhaps something about picking something out from the crowd.
- Stealth game? How do you do something that nobody sees, while you’re in a crowd.
- There are millions smart phones out there.
- Chucking contest.
- Perhaps it’s about finding a smartphone game that’s actually good. It’s one in a million.
- When life gives you lemons, you grow a million more
- If I had a million dollars….
- Protesting group.
- It’s growing.
- It’s growing really fast.
- A commentary on modern consumerism.
- Maybe it’s a game criticizing American Exceptionalsim by making them face their insignificance via a photo of the universe.
- Oh no!
- Pound
- Million starts with Mill, so it’ll be a milling simulator.
- Facebook has a million users. Maybe a Watch-D0g like game where you try to find a specific person given their profile information.
- Rabbit breeding simulator.
- Mob flash simulator. That would be interesting.
- Holding the johny seed of apples.
- A million rice.
- Maybe that warning story about doubling stuff?
- Learn what exponential means! (sometimes, it sucks)
- Cancer.
- A sound game, you hear million voices, pick out the important one.
- Cars cost a million.
- Sun blars at a million degrees. A million of them.
