So as per Droqen's game context here: http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=15859.75 I am making a game based on the Theme of Ghosts! :D

Thus is born: Tale of the Ghost Tamer.

It's a story of a world which is suddenly invaded by ghosts of all varieties. Short ones, Tall ones, Nice ones, Mean ones, Happy ones, Angry ones, Sad ones, etc etc. The problem with ghosts though is that they can interact with people, but people can't directly interact back. It's up to the player to befriend some ghosts to help get rid of the mean and nasty ghosts while finding out what is actually going on.

It will be an rpg where you befriend and train ghosts to fight the more nasty ghosts. It will be a little bit like pokemon, but I'll be focussing more on the rpg and personality aspects of the ghosts rather than just the combat. Some ghosts will happily go on their way if you solve their problems. Others will have have to be defeated.

So I'm working on design this week, and it's shaping up pretty well so far. :D

So it'll be more like Monster Rancher, with a focus on out-of-combat stuff?

[Parthon]

Yeah, probably.

As I haven't played monster rancher at all, and not much of any other pokemon/monster training game, this is all original to me.

But probably not to anyone else.

Heck, this isn't too far off from Ashkin's idea. 

Hopefully we get our own devlog soon!

It means we'll see some outsider perspective, that's for sure. Just so you know, I'm really looking forward to this one! Best of luck, and I hope that this is a maker!

I noticed that too. Creepy.
... You've been spying on us, haven't you Parthon?!?!?!

[Parthon]

No! Nooooooo! Nooooooooooooooooooo!

I'm not spying on you at all.

Or is that just what I want you to think? 

The games will probably still be vastly different even if they are similar ideas.
