Game Idea: Swan

• Working title: Swan (maybe the final name should be ‘Project: Swan’?)
• 2D tile-based platformer-esque game
• Circuit network shit
• Move along a third axis, the Z axis
  • “Dimentional Shifter”
• Mobs ofc
• Some kind of crafting? IDK
• Progression?
  • Minecraft-like exploration-driven progression with no clear path?
  • Terraria-like linear-ish boss-driven progression?
• Power system
  • Circuit network shit requires power
  • Maybe emulate a simplified electrical system?
  • Transistors could be the core, where power flows from A to B if C is receiving power (B = C ? A + C : 0)
  • Everything (pistons, doors, gates, sensors, whatever) uses power
  • Power gen could be one of the main “goals” of the game
• Turing machines?
  • Idk, had this idea for a minecraft mod once.
  • A robot which runs a dialect of Brainfuck with some extra operations for I/O to interact with the world.
