i was thinking about a dating sim, and the only endings are you going home and crying while beating off
honestly, if thats not educational, i don't know what is
Didn't terry make a game like that? |

if someone didn't already i'd be surprised
nerds making fun of nerds isn't exactly a startling new concept

A group of settlers embarks on a thousand year voyage to another world. The only problem? No one remembered to bring writing instruments. You need to carefully balance procreating (to ensure your descendants survive the voyage) and teaching (because knowledge of both culture and survival skills can only be passed on through oral tradition). Will you make it to neo-Earth intact or descend into a mess of ignorance and inbreeding? Shamelessly inspired by the phrase "Generation Ship" and a sci-fi trilogy I read as a kid whose name escapes me. |

Still working out ideas. But I have some leads...
1) Puzzle game, where you have a robot that needs to complete a task. Unfortunately, you can't directly control the robot - you can only give it instructions (in lua or python) and let it go on its merry way! Teaches the basics of computer programming.
2) Shadow a general through the American Revolutionary war, and help them win battles!
3) A point and click crime solving game. The perpetrator has luckily left clues - clues that allude to *history!*
4) An oregon-trail-esque game that trails Lewis and Clarke to the pacific coast and back. Featuring higher stakes and more meaningful choices.

Didn't terry make a game like that? , and it was awesome. Only because it was short. if you want to make a more typical dating game with multiple paths and characters, it would just turn people off. Single ending stories with multiple paths aren't really that great anyway, no matter how awesome they be. What about an RTS based on Greek mythology? |

I had a random idea that fits both the educational and adult themes:
Dance Dance Chip'n Dales: Math edition.
Basic math problems that must have a solution between 0-9 scroll across the screen. The player must hit the corresponding number in time with a pumping techno beat. Success makes the Chip'n Dales dancer gyrate properly to the applause of the crowd. Failure causes him to stumble and get booed.
I dump this idea here because I suck at rhythm games, and dancing. I am sure there are people much better at the both of these skills on this site. I encourage you to take this idea and run with it. I can do some programming and generate tools to help if this project really catches your animation. However I am not going any where near dance choreography. It is better for all of us that way.

A game where you have to guess which steps in Arnold's cat map you are on. This would teach kids the fun of chaos theory! Plus you could have different iterations because its a random sequence that goes into itself. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_theoryExample Image:  |

Two ideas:
A math/education game based on the ideas and principles in 1984. So, 2+2=5 and so on.
A game based around one of those "30 in 1" electronic lab kits.

 I've been looking forward to participating in "Adult Games" since it appeared in the Suggestions thread last year... and now I'm too damn busy with work. I guess I could try to make a simple little game. Here's a more involved idea that I had a while ago, if anyone wants to draw some inspiration from it: "Nude Dude" You play the role of a naked guy, trying to reach a goal (eg, your clothes) without anyone seeing your nudity. This means hiding your "naughty bits" behind strategically-placed bushes, fance posts, mail boxes, etc., like in the intro to Austin Powers 2, or the naked skateboarding sequence near the start of The Simpsons Movie. So you can only move when the townspeople (clergymen, nuns, cops, schoolgirls, schoolteachers, the elderly, camera-clicking tourists, the President...) aren't facing you - or if they are, you'd better have a quick escape route before they (or authority figures that they may summon) beat you to a pulp. For some reason, a naked guy standing behind a bush doesn't irk them.

We need some more T. Rex style Glam Rock!
Well you're dirty and sweet, clad in black
Don't look back and I love you
You're dirty and sweet, oh yeah
Well you're slim and you're weak
You've got the teeth of a hydra upon you
You're dirty sweet and you're my girl. Ha, I could totally see that as the background music to many a gratuitous sex scene :D T.Rex is awesome btw.... |

Posted in the wrong thread. I guess I'll take an idea dump right here!
Quiz RPG
Dragon Warrior/Quest motif with quiz questions when the characters attempt to strike. NPCs in villages will have handy factoids.
Reality Mini Game Compilation
Like Warioware but you always lose. Imagine a car driving mini game where you're always late to work. Or a game of paper-rock-scissors with restaurant types in which you always fail to choose one your girlfriend wants.
Adult Video Game Remake
Bubble Bath Babes and Custers Revenge are prime remakes here. Perhaps a Boong-ga Boong-ga demake?

Calvin and Hobbes, as usual, have insight into this competition.  I'm now considering a Great Depression simulation. "BANKER: Listen you hick, we are taking your god damn farm. Any questions? Well fuck you." |

You mean like Age of Mythology? |
