You first need an empty room, then you sit there for 6 hours concentrating on pizza and ideas. Done, you got your game idea, now work towards it.

Think of games that you like, then change it a bit. Speed run is like temple run but the creator made it better.

i can script a game faster than i think of the idea for it

the scripting part is easy part

the idea part is the hard part

Most of the gaming part is ran by script(s). You have a wild field of ideas ahead of you, unlike me I am limited to a certain amount since I don't know how to script.

I have too many ideas. I lack the scripting ability needed to satisfy those ideas right now though.

To get ideas, just script a lot of simple objects, choose a mood, and work around the objects you made. After that, just wing it. lol

Because most good ideas have already been done, or you're just not creative.

I have too many ideas, and not enough motivation or places to make them all.

To me, I'm just plain screwed. I can't script nor build, I need time to learn the concept, and my idea is just plain difficult and too time-consuming (Generating smaller ideas is hard after generating a large project)

Because all of the good ideas were stolen by 8 year olds somehow getting on the front page while using free models to impress the good builders with thier alts to thumbs up thier free model, this is how most of the games on the front page came on the front page...

I think speedrun has shown that sometimes simple ideas are best.

Heres my idea,, Grab a big idea and break it down.. Add things... and change things. some guy way above me posted somthing to this effect but anyway. Grab a game that you enojy.. example: Call of duty black ops.. ok so you get that base game and think. "its mainly a multi person shooter" so there you got it simplfiied. BUT alot of thsoe are out. so you change it,, instead of guns you use Pies. Yes pies. Then you change landspcae to oh lets say candy land. then add scripts fr rounds and addm aps and BAM you got a game.. Its a simple theoretical process that is useful in idea making.... steps in order : (Big Idea) (BreakDown/Simplifiy) (change) TADA
