Dream Game Elements / Inspirations
Independent and not necessarily related or having to be used together
- "Real" Dynamic Time Travel mechanic - simulate the changes in the past and reconstruct the world (Steins;Gate)
- A hub where characters gather, a place/city/area they call home (DS9, Future Gadget Lab)
- Random bizarre craziness (Rick and Morty's dimensions)
- "Floating" islands on pillars (that project)
- Kirby RPG
- The extraordinary hidden in plain sight / parallel magic/fantasy society (Harry Potter and others)
- Intelligent agents, AI, especially symbolic AI
Game seeds/ideas
Narrative Tropes
- Start the story in medias res - specifically having only a little bit left of a bigger project (the penultimate task
or only few more tasks)
- Example: Just having found the third of four magic crystals you need to find to save the world
- A character was away from the main action for an extended amount of time and brings an unique perspective / hope on
a situation
- Example: Ant Man in Avengers: Endgame
