So ever since I quit Anterograde Fantasy, I have been on hiatus. Being stuck in a rut as to what my next project should be and whether or not I want to a do a big project ever again. so before going onto the game ideas, here's another bit.

NEW GAME DEVELOPMENT TECHNIQUES

What I want to try out is a radically altered way of how I make my games. Normally I make towns and dungeons as I go along following the game's plot progression. Occasionally I would take a few days to work on what would ultimately lead to the creation of a handful of sidequests.

I'm currently in the process of streamlining development so I'm not spending a day working on one dungeon and adding enemies, and other database things. Rather I'd make the levels, then the RPGM database. then the towns, then I'd go back and finish the dungeons to make them functional.

I reckon I'd could finish levels faster and make the game development process more efficient. Perhaps my next project will be a test of this new system.

Also I want to try making a game where all the plot related stuff is added first and then the rest of the content is added around it.

NEW GAME IDEAS

1. Atelier Anthrax and the Tale of Two Bernies: The plot of this game is that a low income shopkeep named Anthrax and her friend Dioxin go on a quest to save the world from the war between Bernie Sanders and Bernie Stolar. The latter of whom wants to rid the world of RPGs and Japanese things. This game would feature a cast of diverse characters themed after toxic substances and be a return to the comedy RPG I was once known for.

2. Unnamed Touhou OQIN Sequel: This game would be the sequel to the King Gizzard themed Touhou Project game I had made. This time being based off of the album "Infest the Rat's Nest". The game will feature a darker plot in which the thinning of the Great Hakurei Barrier causes a reduction in Gensokyo's magic causing a super-incident in which a plague hits the Human Village, Fascists take over Youkai Mountain, and a Nuclear meltdown in Former Hell.

3. Unnamed Collectathon RPG: This is just an idea of reviving the Collectathon JRPG that I had pioneered with OGMS and Numbskull Monotagari. Mostly because I'm watching SHiFT's BfBB speedruns rn.

4. Unnamed long-term Super RPG Project: I had this idea of building an RPG with an absurd amount of content. A Game that first be released with a main story but with continuous updates, more content and storylines would be added culminating in a game larger than Tales of Your in terms of quests, maps, and playtime. But chances are I probably don't have the attention span to stick to this sort of thing though...

So what is everyone's thoughts. I didn't put this game ideas to a poll because I don't want to give off the impression that I will be starting development anytime soon. I just wanted to say what I have been up to the past few weeks. I also just got a Sega Saturn and have been having a lot of fun with it so that's one reason why I have been gone...
