Sparkie:
	yep
	which gives me
	a great idea
	for a survival game

[12:14 PM]
Flaco:
	what is it

[12:14 PM]
Sparkie:
	imagine a survival game
	where you are not actually in a planet, but like more like a soul in hell
	which is gonna have a bit of more creative materials and what not
	and diff demon type of monsters
	and u can make bosses a mix between famous hell creatures from diff mythologies and what not
	i mean it doesn't even have to be hell
	Maybe something like having diff realms which you can travel between
	Maybe even make it normal earth with diff biomes with diff concepts
	and making death part of the gameplay
	like for example if you die in a desert type of biome
	you get sent to egyptian or whatever mythological hell
	where you can gather special resources
	and than have some way where you can get back to life

[12:20 PM]
Flaco:
	ye its an idea that could be interesting for sure. lots of things to further investigate and contemplate

[12:20 PM]
Sparkie:
	yea
	idk just randomly thought about it
	i was wondering whats a subject which i actually like
	and won't mind researching
	and thought about mythology

[12:21 PM]
Flaco:
	ye mythology is great cus its not fact
	so u can bend the "facts" if anything dont make 100% sense

[12:22 PM]
Sparkie:
	yep
	and if you mix mythologies all together
	your game is pretty mixed up
	with diff ideas
	and you never get bored
	and can always add extra ideas and shit
	like one day can add a chinese mythology bs or w/e

[12:24 PM]
Flaco:
	ye a lot of work tho if u wanna maintain attention to details n stuff. like in my mind thats a massive update putting out say a new mythology concept in a game that say starts out with 2-3
	with lots of content
	like adding a 3rd official faction to WoW
	alliance, horde and 1 more

[12:24 PM]
Sparkie:
	yea true

[12:25 PM]
Flaco:
	the possibilities are endless tho

[12:25 PM]
Sparkie:
	yep
	i mean
	i came up with that
	as we were talking
	xDDDD
	My first idea was literally a game based on survival in hell

[12:28 PM]
Flaco:
	kinda crazy how much background work is necessary to make a game with a solid concept. like how everything is balanced, mechanics, satisfactory rewards, replay ability, difficulty, how time invested by players reflects that and much much more
	like its insane

[12:30 PM]
Sparkie:
	yep
	i mean if you can actually make something which is good
	it can be pretty rewarding

[12:31 PM]
Flaco:
	like the dying and going to egyptian hell where u had to gather resources n stuff to get back to life. in my mind that means when i die i get involunatarily separated from friends and i get forced to play solo to get back to life. if i just gotta gather some resources without thought it feels tedious and useless. if it has a lot more depth to it its gonna suck cus now im stuck playing solo in this realm of death

[12:31 PM]
Sparkie:
	gonna ask a friend
	whos an irl friend and ik him since we were 3
	so if he scams me i can go to him and od the beating irl
	who might be able to help me with design
	hes kinda an artist
	or used to draw

[12:32 PM]
Flaco:
	lmao

[12:32 PM]
Sparkie:
	nah i mean

[12:32 PM]
Flaco:
	ye well go for it

[12:32 PM]
Sparkie:
	all worlds are gonna be connected
	so like
	if you die with ur friends
	u r all gonna go to there together
	but i need to think of a concept

[12:32 PM]
Flaco:
	but if i die
	they live

[12:32 PM]
Sparkie:
	of how do i get bac kto life
	because in greek mythology
	u can technically escape
	somehow
	but if u die to go to egyptian hell to gather resource
	if u get perma seperated
	its kinda xd

[12:34 PM]
Flaco:
	ye definitely has to be a way out question is whether its gonna be a time effort to get out or just a quick thing cus being separated or stuck in another realm must suck

[12:34 PM]
Sparkie:
	i mean its general idea for now

[12:34 PM]
Flaco:
	ye for sure

[12:34 PM]
Sparkie:
	i need to see how its gonna work
	but i think its a p good oen
	i was thinking about two ways of travel to hells
	maybe some sort of magical potions which are gonna allow you to travel with your items and equipment
	and natural suicide
	which means u go bare naked maybe with no ideas
	items*
	so like if you can travel with magic, you should be able to travel back with magic aswell
	and maybe have every realm have diff effect on magics and stuff
	so for example an item which used to give you health in the land of the living
	makes you idk, run faster in another realm

[12:42 PM]
Flaco:
	maybe but say why would u wanna travel to hell in the first place with magic if thats where u go when u die. whats in hell that makes it worth going there as a player and as a developer to spend time putting in effort in that realm. items or gears stat who change based on realm is gonna require u to have multiple gear sets with different stats so u can have the setup u want in each specific realm. if ur main set in living realm 1 gives u speed in hell realm 1, but u need strength to kill boss u need 3rd gear set.
	at the same time my perspective is basically billion dollar company AAA titles i dont rly play indie games
	or smol developer games until valheim
	i might complicate things based on that

[12:44 PM]
Sparkie:
	yea im just doing stuff for ref
	i actually made a folder on my desktop
	and saving stuff for references

[12:44 PM]
Flaco:
	thats a good idea

[12:44 PM]

[12:45 PM]
Flaco:
	rename pics to what ur initial thought or idea is when u saved pic maybe
	otherwise u might go back and be like "thats a forest, why did i save that"

[12:46 PM]
Sparkie:
	yea i was thinking to add folders
	but thought that having everything all together is gonna be good

	designing hell
	is gonna be more difficult than i thought xd

[12:49 PM]
Flaco:
	check out "the maw"
	which is world of warcraft "hell"
	u can tell its hell without being too hell-ish in terms of like christian influences
	or traditional christian hell

[12:51 PM]
Sparkie:
	yea
	i was thinking something like that tbh for most designs
	maybe add some lava or whatever

[12:55 PM]
Flaco:
	yup endless possibilities
	i gotta catch some zzz
	ttyl

[12:55 PM]
Sparkie:
	gngn
	or gm
	or w/e xd
