Pushing Daisies (Idea Generation)


This devlog will mainly contain the ides I want to incorporate into the game in a more unorganized pattern, not everything will make it into the final cut, but want to start getting ideas done while I learn the basics of game dev and pixel art. This game's idea started with me wanting to create a simple insect pinning game as the first game I develop to understand the basics of everything game dev. If you have any ideas or suggestions please let me know!

  • Silly sleeping load screen (normal, on side, levitating, leg up, monster under bed, etc)
  • Top down pixel game with detailed pixel portraits for conversations'
  • Customizable character with personality and voice
  • Possible romance through dating on phone, then leaving room to go on the actual dates
  • Contacting friends / customers through phone
  • Mini games to perform the actual insect pinning, a fail and no fail mode (can degrade quality of pinning)
  • Different options for top of shop to run (more scientific/decorative/funny)
  • lo fi girl esc room with upgrades, raising certain insects yourself
  • Similar to youtube simulator, you have a real job you need to go to as well until reaching a certain revenue
  • Some money goals such as buying a storefront, moving out of studio apartment, needing money for dates
  • Multiple tabs on computer, one for analytics of what is popular, one for managing shop, one for purchasing materials, and one for researching where certain common species can be found
  • Lil isopod tutorial buddy that will also give fun facts about the different insects during pinning minigame, first time of doing that species (option to turn off tutorial)
  • Shop management to include setting prices, taking commissions, and creating the items to sell
  • Different items to put into each listing such as the actual insect, descriptions'/label, crystals, flora
  • Different options to put insect into like resin, glass pressing, terrariums, potion jars, shadow box etc.
  • Different options for packaging as well
  • Similar to sticky business these different options will be unlocked after hitting certain requirements (either money or progression basedm unsure.)
