Probably just domestic stuff. Yeah, if I made a prototype, I would do a popularity system (not to the decimal though, seems complicated) I've been making some smexy concepts for my prototype, in the event that I do make it. The first one would be a country selector (though if I went full-on, I'd probably make it solely based on the US) The second is a concept of actual gameplay, with three main policies, I plan on including immigration, but I haven't found a good photo yet (as you can see, I reuse the menu screen at the moment, lol, though I spent more time doing the menu) Other policies are a work in progress (there would be a scroll option for more policies, and each policy would have sub-policies, for example, different types of taxes, you can set immigration quotas, etc.) If you're wondering where I get my images, they're stock photos from https://www.pexels.com/ (somehow, they offer free stock photos without attribution) I also have a couple other sources, but mostly pexels.

ThePotatoWalrus 471 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 If anybody is interested in seeing me make a prototype (NOT an actual game) let me know and I might do it. Also, Ima say it right now my programming skills are complete trash and compared to @NYrepublican, mine will be extremely casual, and his will likely be more complex due to his knowledge in programming.

When I was in English class in Grade 10, my teacher said, "Published authors and poets have artistic license that grade 10 English students do not." That angered me. But, now that I am no longer a grade 10 English student, and have not been for almost 25 years, and have written fiction that many have said should be published and is comparable to published material (but getting published for the first time is NOT easy at all), I consider myself to have transcended my old English teacher's proclaimed limits.

I may well one day, but there's also the fact that I'm not yet satisfied with the actual setting, storylines, characters, and "lore and canon" enough to formally do so yet. Plus, a significant amount of that was done in collaboration with a close (whose still a close friend), and creative and intellectual properties would have to be discussed with him prior to any such thing.

I have several completely separate and mutually exclusive science-fiction ideas, each with their own assumptions, storylines, settings, and general "canon and lore" (as the terms are used in fictional intellectual properties today).
