I am going away for ages as my holiday started, I will not have internet, only my darling laptop. Now what will I do alone in the middle of the forest without internet? Maybe make a game? What kind of a game? A shmup would be fine to make... Shmups are so old stuff, dude! Not abstract shmups! That's right, I'll make an abstract shmup. But I don't have any imagination at all :/ At this part of my monolog, you people step in!
Here's what we're going to do, you people are going to throw in some shmup-elements or pretty much anything at all, then I'm going to put everything on notes and pick 3-5 at random, and perhaps make a game based on the idea that comes from those elements.. Kinda badly explained, no? An example will clear this out!

1. Pick elements:

-Apples.
-Sguares as a big part of the gameplay mechanics.
-All objects are fruits.
-Rabbit.
-Dodging as a big part of the gameplay.
-Using the surrounding enviroment to attack enemies.
-Destroying things with explosives.
-Giant ships.
-Only vector-gfx.
-Abuse bloom.

2. Randomly pick 3-5 elements:

-Sguares as a big part of the gameplay mechanics.
-Using the surrounding enviroment to attack enemies.
-Destroying things with explosives.
-Only vector-gfx
-Giant ships.

3. Make a game based on those elements.

Of those elements I could make a game in which you throw sguares around to knock parts of the ground around you off/explode the ground into bits you can use, and attack giant boss-ships with these pieces of ground. The game would only have vector-gfx.

I want you to throw in elements, since you people are made of win and awesome. Great ideas will come only from you. I do not guarantee that this game will be made, but I will at least try. I'm sorry for the messed up post.
