This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You probably don't have shit ideas, you just need help making you ideas work. Even Tolkien had a group of people help I'm improve the Hobbit.
One of the things I wanted to make, is a pixel style build a vehicle game, where you earn parts for vehicles that you build.
Ok, I like this idea. What kind of vehicles are players making and what do they do with the vehicles once they make them?
Generally, you just fight with them. I had plans for upgrades and even parts that are "organic". That is, level up with use. I had plenty of crazy ideas. It was going to be open world, but 2D. You could build your own city. It would be more simple than it sounds.
Ok, cool. Now download Krita to make the assets and Godot for the engine. Start with a small and some version of your idea. And remember, this the most important part, it is OK to fail, failing is part of the process. Be kind to yourself when thing don't work or come out the way you expected them to. It is OK to take breaks bit don't give up.
