Help me get my creative juices flowing. I want to practice making mobile games.. free of course.
In one sentence define a crazy idea for a game.
Just like https://twitter.com/PeterMolydeux
I could use him for inspiration but thought you guys might wanna play along. :)

Inspired by Dave's an LuLshucks idea:
Honey Badger: Bounty Hunter.
Indie crowd funding game, Beer Tapper gameplay.
Top down, cam behind the player. The player goes between Cell Phone, Tablet and PC/Laptop. Trying to pitch ideas to investers/gamers standing at a webwindow in each line. Keep them happy by serving ideas, updates, demos. The more happy investers the more money you get, the closer you get to your goal.
Investers/gamers at the webwindows for each Cell/tablet/pc have different values/demands. Ideas/updates/demos have different effectiveness.
I am sure you see where I was going with all of that. I am not a game designer, so you figure out how to fill in the holes and make it work.
Best Idea I have, sorry if it a bit more then one sentence.
Do you know, I never played Tapper..! I know the gameplay mechanics though.
I'm making a cool game right now, it's top secret at the mo though. I'm torn between home made hand drawn slightly rough graphics or slightly shinier but falser looking vector art.
I say Vector Art.
While hand drawn graphics is a near lost art form to most of us dedicated gamer types, if you are making a game for the masses, hand drawn can sometimes come across as amatuerish, imo. In todays world computer art is thing all and of itself.
If you were making me a game, personaly...I would want hand drawn and bright colors.
Also depends on the game type and other things. Not to mention, what you like best, it is your game.
When I do vector art it looks shit and I really struggle with how to do shading.
Hand drawn art I've always been quite good at. It was always my understanding that vector art is for people who can't draw..
Here's an example of one of the main sprites in my current game..

I tried to do him as vector instead and he instantly lost his personality.
What's great about Vectors - you can scale them at any time for all your likings. And the file size is low. Scaling shouldn't be a problem with the hand drawn sprites either, as long you keep the resolution high. Looks good btw.
double post goddam captcha sh*t!
Gotta go with your strong suit then. And I agree I like the looks of that lil guy.
The thing about being a master craftsperson, is that it doesn't happen all at once. Go with the hand drawn, keep working/practicing in other areas. I like hand drawn. Good stuff.
Criminally insane guy on a mobility scooter murders people in a bid to replace his failing legs.
I went to see Criterion once when they were making the first Burnout. Alex Ward told me the single-line pitch was, "Driving in traffic and crashing."
How about a tower defence game with vegatables vs mummys.
