Thread: Lucid Dream Game Idea

Still I don't know how gameplay works, do you connect your mind to a game machine or what?

Sorry about that. No, you don't hook up to a machine. It is "just" a video game. The idea is to be more than a typical game, but we aren't using any special hardware. I just thought that since people tend to dream of the game they played the night before, we could take advantage of that.

Does that make sense?

I think that lucid dreams are too unstable for that, also, there are sooo many ways to lucid dream (apparently) that a game seems one of the hardest and less interesting ones...

Of course, for advanced lucid dreamers without imagination or who just love videogames... then for they that's fine


But be sure to make your game open to imagination, one of the advantages of lucid dreams is that you can be extremely creative

Like Sandman said, there's no special hardware, just the player and the console. While the exact details of the gameplay aren't set in stone, from what I understand it's going to be a real-time RPG. You pick up new skills as you go, but the defining factor through the whole game is your Lucidity meter. If you're in a dream and you go too long without reality checking/stabilizing, it'll go down and you'll lose access to many of your offensive powers, and the dream will become blurry and unstable and potentially collapse.

It's true, though, that each member has a slightly different game in mind, which is exactly why "idea people" still remain invaluable. We're constantly presented with new ideas from our members, and we're hoping that we can take all the best ones and make an amazing game.

(Even more confused) So, we're speaking of a real game, that is, with software inside hardware played by real people without requiring any actual lucid dreaming skills right?
