I’ve been thinking all day about ideas for the OMG Contest. It seems with the very short time requirements for the contest, I’m pretty limited in what I can do. Maybe, this is a good thing.

I started out with a blank piece of notebook paper and simply jotted down requirement ideas that might help limit the scope of a game that could be completed within the time frame on a very small to zero budget.

This is the list I came up with:

• Game must occur in one location, room, or level
• The content requirements need to be absolutely minimal: procedural graphics
• No time for complex A.I.
• Simple game controls (no joysticks, game pads, etc)
• No OpenGL
• Simple game play
• Fast Paced
• Randomly generated levels and enemies

If I keep to this list of requirements, it may just be possible to do this. Of course, now I need an idea that fits this list.
