# Brainstorming
## Premise ideas
Throwing ideas at the wall to see what sticks

- **Dating sim where the single object of affection (The computer? The program? *The datacenter????*) is nebulous and vague at the start, but becomes more defined as you go through the game.**
	- Check out *Slay The Princess* for a similar thing: the princess's form in each loop changes depending on the choices you made in the previous run.
	- Maybe the object of affection starts out as a vague thing that `touch`es files or pipes shit to `stdout` every now and again, but as you interact with her, she appears to you as a more specific entity.
	- This could work as a console-based thing, which works with our skill sets.
	  
- Get *really* objectum with it: **Dating sim where multiple objects of affection could be found throughout your life as a sysadmin.**
	- e.g.:
		- Servers and network hardware in the datacenter where you work
		- Your phone in your pocket
		- Your work laptop you take home with you every day
		- The old desktop tower you find in the op shop
		- The vending machine in the lunch room.
		- The security cameras in the hallway
  		- ***BAD-GIRL-TYPE MALICIOUS DEVICE DROPPED IN THE DATACENTRE BY AN UNKNOWN BAD ACTOR*** (i need her......)
		- etc.
	- **Con:** We'd need to find an artist, of course, as this would have to be a visual thing, I reckon
	- I also have never played a dating sim! Oops!
	  
- **"Visual" novel where you're having a back and forth with a hacker trying to infiltrate your network.**
	- Enemies-to-lovers type shit.
	- Unfortunately, every time I try to flesh this idea out, I instead realise I'm just doing a Mr. Robot impression and cross my arms and get grumpy.
