So I had an idea for a game called The Grid. I typed this on my phone last night:
You are the last person not in stasis on the planet. The power grid has been shut off, and nothing is working, everyone's in stasis. At last, the time has come to wake everyone, but there are evil, decrepit old robots of unknown origin wandering around. They are getting all of the power, and so you can't wake anyone or take any action. You have to travel to the different stations, via a map at your house, and restore power at each one. Once you choose one, you have to walk there. On the way, you have to defeat some of the robots, who try to stop you- if you don't they will lose power. When you kill one, you get energy points, which you can use in shops. Once you make it to any given station, you must use a special gadget to transport yourself into the computer. You have to make it all the way through the computer to the switch to change the power from the robots to the humans. On the way there you have to avoid bugs, viruses, and corrupted files. At the area where the switch is, there is also a patcher which edits your code and gives you a power. This power stays with you the rest of the game. After you activate the whole grid, a giant robot which has been charging for hundreds of years awakes. You have to beat this to get the rest of the power, start the world up and running again, and wake everyone.
So, what do you think? And IF YOU TL;DR'ED THINK AGAIN >:U

Sounds interesting! I think it might be a little too complicated, and there ought to be backstory -- whats with all the stasis and giant robots?

Post apocalyptic grayscale world . Everyone went into stasis and can't be woken up except by you, who volunteered to wake them when the time is right. Like I said, the robots are of unknown origin (as of now ;P)

Awesome idea, I'd love to see this made.
Me to . I'm kinda on the verge of making a collab for this, since I tend to run out of inspiration/motivation XD

same here, although I am already in a few collabs, we still don't seem to do much.

Yes. I could do a lot, but at least there would be people to fall back on until I get back into it.

Your welcome.
Just curious, around when do you think that you'll finish creating this project? When you do finish it, could you give me a link to the project? Thanks if you do.
