In today's field of gaming, the humble mana bar has become nearly as widespread as the health bar. Everywhere from MMOs to flash games, to traditional turn-based RPGs, Mana exists as a finite consumable resource (often a blue bar) used to cast spells and/or abilities.

@TimStone Oh, right. I'm thinking too Dutch. Well, I didn't spoil anything, really. I just don't like attention. I show this by pretending to not like attention in order to pretend to like attention in order to show that I do not like attention.
Does it make you feel more or less uncomfortable to understand that this isn't actually a real game plan I'm developing, but just something to keep me entertained so that I don't lose my mind over the course of each waking day?
Developing a visual novel is a very long process and getting the story just right isn't currently my cup of tea.
Technically? The best controller I can think of for this project would be the N64 controller. I'm not even sure how, but it is. To actually answer, Computer.
@GraceNote I do that with every coding project. I fill 10 pages of notes, and then when it comes to implementation I just get stuck at every single point

The great thing about this new project of mine, though, is that it isn't tied to any of my old ideas. I don't have to worry about making all of the pieces fit together.
@badp I've long since abandoned caring about that kind of thing.
Will it just ultimately be a variation of one or more games mashed together? I'm sure someone would find the right combination. But it's still its own game.
@Mana I'm not actually sure I get that reference.
I can see it now... "This is just Kirby meets Castlevania meets OoT meets Magicka! You're a hack!"
@Grace Not really a reference. Just an absolutely wonderful idea. She could run across levels in order to take down her arch-nemeses Anime Charles Dickens and Anime Fyodor Dostoyevsky in a tale spanning the many beautiful scenic environments of the Victorian literature era
You know what'd be cool? A game with a TAS/speedrun engine strapped onto it
The game is very easy to finish in real time, but it's full of glitches and stuff that make it challenging to speed run it either way; unlike many games however it gives you all the tools you need.
Okay, since I can never quite work out the blockquote formatting, I'll just copypaste this here:

Q: Can only dudes be Bros? A: You don't need to be a guy to be somebody's Bro, provided you uphold the moral values contained within this sacred canon. When a women sets a guy up with her busty friend, she's acting as a Bro. And if she sets him up with other hot friends after he slept with the first one and never called her again, then she s officially his Bro.
