So after talking with my friend some more it seems like we are actually going to make this game a reality but instead of flash based like I tried to demonstrate before now we are going to d it web based and have it a long term game with many different people playing using PHP. My friend pointed me to a few interesting games that already function the way I would but without my unique idea for the religions. Some notable examples are Travian.com and Tribalwars.com with both feature elements that I would use for my concept. The next phase is to keep brainstorming our ideas till we formulate something solid that can be translated to digital playable form.

I saw a video recently of people who had their lights set up and choreographed like a game of snake. The video is here:

But having recently made the snake game I think this should be something that can be created in real life using an actual building and properly programmed lighting. Why not have a simple game system where you have the arrow keys say on a street near a building and have it rigged up so the public can play using the near by buildings internal lights? It might annoy the people living there but who knows maybe they enjoy unexpected lights in their house turning on and off?

Going back to childhood I just remembered a game that my friends and I used to play we found out that a laser pointer pointed at a fire alarm even for a second would make it go off. With this knowledge and not wanting to pay for laser force and head into the city instead we went into the bush out the back of my old house with this equipment late at night and had a massive game of laser force. Since you could set the alarms to different tones and they didn’t shut up till you switched them off it was a great idea for a game we could play. Eventually we got craft and started climbing trees but we had to stop when my friend Dan got bitten by a spider, if only we could go back to that time and steal all the ideas we had as kids for profit.
