The most placeholder or placeholder titles for now- really on the nose-
But! This was the most direct brainstorming I've done in a while- sort of working backwards from 'the big reveal' and going back to the smallest possible game I could make out of it! Now that all the big decisions have been made- the next step is trying to figure out the visual style of the game- as well as the main character for the first build!
(Oh, and ignore the last one- the one in colour- it's technically part of the brainstorming- but I decided to go for a more small town culty aesthetic rather than government conspiracy)
I'm still a bit frustrated that I've got that instinct- that even though I'm not diving into making this this massive project right off the bat. I'm intimidated. I think I'll be intimidated regardless of if I'm making huge games or tiny games. So I might as well just go for it.
