No, it isn't a DHMIS thread, this is an idea thread!
Post ideas that you've had for a video game, a book, or really anything.

My idea is for a fighting game with rhythm game elements.

Imagine a simple sport: there is a thing, and you get points by putting the thing into the goal.

TWIST: the thing is a beach ball, and the goals are field goals.

DOUBLE TWIST: you can't use your hands, ONLY LEAF BLOWERS!

I have dreams about unusual crossover video games, such as a NintendoXCartoon Network Super Smash Bros game, and Project X Zone but with Disney and Hasbro characters. I typically wake up wishing they were real.

My idea involves an RPG with the exploration scale of Skyrim, the Character interaction level of Dragon Age, the deep storytelling of The Witcher, the grand soundtrack of Final Fantasy, the platforming dungeons of The Legend of Zelda, and exploding chickens.

Don't forget stealth!

That sounds like something a really bored camp counselor would do for a camp activity.
… AND IT WOULD BE AWESOME.

I've had this idea for a VN for about a little bit now. I was thinking about calling it Elysium, but whatever. Anyway, the game starts off with the PC falling from the sky into a river. An NPC fishes them out, and the PC has amnesia. The NPC suggests that maybe what the PC was initially going to do was go to the neighboring city of Elysium. However, the gates to Elysium are locked, and the PC has to unlock them using 5 keys. Various NPCs will help you find these keys. Every so often, in the ambient noises of the game, you hear broken whispering, seemingly coming from nowhere.
Here's where the shit gets started.
Eventually, the PC finds out that they're in a hospital, slowly dying from some sort of traumatic accident. The NPCs you have been helping have also been helping you resolve your life, getting you through the five stages of grief. As the final gate to Elysium unlocks…

I'm thinking about having the PC come back from the brink into a happy ending.

I've always had this idea to write a book called "Perpetual Jesus", and it'll be about a boy named Wade that goes through life always doing the right thing but never fitting in. I plan for there to be a ton of allusions and references to the Bible within the story trying to have Wade seem like Jesus. It will have some comedic moments and elements but I ultimately want to convey the message that those are who truly perfect will go unnoticed.

I'm hoping that even those who don't care for religion will find some merit in the work.

I have an idea for a story involving 3 characters, each representing the 3 areas of the psyche: An easygoing, sloppy, easily agitated man (Id), an awfully crafty girl with a quirky personality (Ego), and a slightly annoyed man who makes sure everything is absolutely perfect (Superego). And the story takes place 1000 years in the future and on the planet Eris because WHY THE FUCK NOT.

What is really the point of life? Of course the pursuit of knowledge is a great and noble cause, but what happens when that runs out? When we've learned all there is to learn?

It is an unknown time in the far distant future- at least millions, if not billions, of years ahead- and the human race had long ago met its strange and seemingly final destiny. An unfathomable number of lives are being lived out in a vast and ever-growing network of metal and wire; not, however, in a way that we would recognize.
Their perfectly engineered bodies lie in smooth pods, never aging, while an assortment of monitors, chemicals, tubes and electrodes allow them to remain in a permanent state of absolute ecstasy. That is, after all, what we all wanted, right? Infinite joy, infinite pleasure, no pain, no sadness?

Somewhere buried deep in this matrix that is our final achievement as a people, among the rows and rows of blissful sleep, a pair of eyes open.

I would definitely read this.

Well, I did have an idea for a Fallout story once.

It would be about a hunter who one day gets abducted by an Enclave flying ship thing that took to the skies just around when the Enclave Oil Rig blew up to be tested on for scientific purposes.

The protagonist manages to sneak out of his cell and gets dressed up like an Enclave scientist to blend in, and destroys the ship by making the captain, who is an AI, to overload the ship's reactor

He manages to escape via an escape pod, and touches down in what used to be Washington state

He then finds his way to the ruins of Seattle, which is infested with ghouls except for the suburbs, where a community thrives, and settles down there.

Kind of stupid, I know
