Sunday: Leaf

(Yes, I'm on time with this one!)

An exploration game where you play as a pixie, exploring a verdant and vibrant forest by using leafs to glide between trees or sail in creeks and rivers. As you explore you learn more of the culture and history of the pixies, while trying to prevent the destruction that was foretold in the old legends.

Saturday: Computer.

(I work with computers all the time, allow it even if it may seem a low hanging fruit, please 😅 )

A computer hacking simulation with a bigger focus on procedural mission generation and social engineering mechanics. You can research exploits in the background to create your own hacking tools, but to finish them you'll have to solve logic puzzles. Bonus points if there's a story to tie everything up.

I swear one day I'll be able to keep up with things.

Friday: Planet

A puzzle god-game where you build machines that build the molecules that are necessary to create planets. Then you create machines that build the planets themselves in a production-chain style. For every planet you build, you can see the entire machine, from the smallest molecule to the finished product.

Wednesday: **Dehumidifier**

A procedurally generated farming game, where you have to take care of plants. Each plant type has its own needs for temperature (from ice cold to "cultivate in a lit firepit"), humidity and nutrition.
If conditions are ideal, the plants will make flowers and you can make hybrids to sell and then buy more seeds.

Tuesday: **Shower**.

An animal grooming simulation game: customers bring in their animals (dogs, cats, ...) to get them washed, cleaned and spruced up.
Each animal has its like and dislikes and you'll have to find ways around them. Also each animal will have its own personality, so a "rambunctious" dog will shake more often and try to run around the room, for instance.

Hello everyone!
I decided to challenge myself and try to come up with game concepts out of mundane items or activities for a week.

Here we go!

**Glasses:** An investigation game where your glasses tell you if the person you're interrogating is lying. The objective is to discover the truth (or make the person contradict themselves) without them finding out you know whether they're lying.

If you want to try, use the "oneweekofideas" hashtag. I'm curious!
