How does it happen?

[Rahl]

The way it works for me is I know how I want it to begin and how I want it to end. And I know a few things I know I want ot happen in between, and it just kind of takes off from there.

I usually manage to get an end and ideas for mid-story, but to start a story is one of my weak points. I want a good impacting start, that's why I haven't written out my story yet =(

[_JeT_]

-Sleep
-Wakeup
-Try to decipher the insanity of my dreams
-???
-Story (>99.9999999% failure rate)

Really? I have 3 game ideas in my mind: one of them, I only have the intro, and the other 2, I only have the gameplay.
I suck at thinking of mid stories.

I can think of plot twists, mid story development, endings. But I just suck at the ending. Also have a great gameplay idea for a different thing I need to work a story on, but sadly it's not a game I could complete with my current knowledge =(

I sit and relax and think about the ideal world I'd like to live in, then what
could ruin that world the most. I also think about strange puzzles and try and build characters
in my head.

If I were to do this today, I would have one of the most badass games ever.
Too bad I can't really remember last nights dream...
But it was awesome.

I dreamt last night that I worked on the show Mythbusters... It was cool.

I had a dream that was me turning into a superhero due to supernatural forces that were in a house that was also a strange mix of Team Fortress two (I've never played that) and DC comics. Oh, and Silent Hill/Resident Evil.
It was badass, but I can't remember **** for details.

Dreams make great actual stories, Obviously I dreamt once I was in a flea market, because I sleep walked through the house to ask my mom how much it would cost to buy my pillow.

[fruckert]

Obviously I dreamt

Oh, well...duh
...
Wait, what?

Music's a great one. When you listen to a really powerful, strange song
by like Led Zeppelin, Cream or Aphex Twin, ideas just come to you!

Deserted Cities Of The Heart by Cream. Just reminds me of a chase cutscene
in my game so bad!

Tool is great for this.
Most of Splinter came from Aenima.

Any kind of powerful adrenalin music is great for making games. It really brings to life creativity in me.

Use Alestorm for pirate games. Pirate Metal ftw //uu//

I youtubed this, and found nothing of interest.
