I thought some of the ideas on the landing page were so cute to do, in the spirit of the theme aha. These ones:
- "background music and sound effects that evoke starter villages
- character, background, and map art of favorite or original starter villages
- assets and models of things like small homes, turf tiles, and crude/toy/beginner versions of gear
- bitsy, twine, and ren'py mini-games set entirely within a single "starter" location
- lyric games and instructions for tabletop play set entirely within a single "starter" location
- flash fiction, poetry chapbooks, and mini-comics about, inspired by, or set within a starter village
- tarot card schema where all the suits are now types of shopkeepers and magical/animal helpers
- a roguelike but instead of dungeons it's your hometown, for better or worse
- and so on and so forth!"
I'm liking the tarot one!
