Thinking of a tiny fangame and feeling a bit confident about, only to realize it's main/sole gameplay gimmick will turn everyone off.


So Pointless will have this thing in chapter 2 called Wheezlex, and sometimes you'll get mail from people asking to play against. And for thought about a fangame/fanmod thing that's my own interpretation of it form what I can understand.

In the fabled City you (yes that's the artstyle I would've gone with) would go up against 18-20 opponents to become the new champion. The game would consist of battles where you throw a rubber ball with dice in it at your opponent and vice versa. After every attack you'll get a random number from 1 to 6 which would be added to an invisible counter. Once either you or your opponent fall over (Attacks have a 5% chance of inflecting fallen) the "fight" would end and who ever had the higher number would win, that make sense? Also after every like 5 turns the chance of fallen would increase. You could also pay a "fairy" to increase your chances of winning.

But just today it hit me that this game would be unfair and unfun even with the fairy. So yeah, I didn't want to make something so bullsh!t and have scrapped that idea. I know I could've just made it so you would naturally have a slightly higher chance to roll a 6, but still.

No one knows much about this enigmatic man, he just showed up on Garbage Island one day and has stayed ever since. Refuses to talk about his past, where he got his sword or why he's living among garbage.

It can still be fun to recolor/recolour
