This document contains ideas that I have had over time, such as company ideas, new apps, games.

Generally each idea has a basic info table about what it is and a description/overview.

Blackout

Platform Shop for e-ink devices

Overview

Sell tablets and phones with e-ink and traditional features, physical keyboards and note taking devices.

In Finland there are not any specialized resellers for this stuff and it is a healthy technology. Maybe the store could sell all kinds of privacy friendly, user friendly and healthy tech that improves one's life in a different way from the usual.

Automation adventure

Overview

Automation & resource gathering to fix some villages issues or in order to build a blimp or something in order to advance to some place else. New areas with different challenges, but maybe by bringing things from earlier locations the new places become easier to automate.

Cant bring everything but jump-starting productions is easier

There is a workshop area in the back where new games can be made with all sorts of parts that can interact with microcontrollers and single board computers.

People could submit their arcade games to rentable slots in the arcade similar to second hand shops (kirpparit). 
The workshop is usable for anyone with a subscription to the place, and sourcing of the needed parts is made easy in a way that the company will order everything requested.

Cell Sim Clonk

Key Value
Type Game
Platform PC
Framework Game engine

Overview

Idea:

  • Mining & building similar to Clonk
  • AI to navigate home from a mine
  • Control multiple characters, possibly
  • Grid Cell / Pixel  physics simulation, simplified Noita
  • Dynamic tilemapping, meaning the art updates with seamless cell styling along with the cells / “pixels” updating every frame
  • Automatic collider generation, cells turn into slopes, so if there are dynamic objects thrown at a wall, it does not detect the normals as 4-directional, but more like splines

2D Minecraft without controllable character
### Type Game
### Platform PC
### Framework Game engine

Overview

You play with the mouse, the world is a grid, build storages and automation, circuits and such. Similar to factorio and terraria but without the character.

Build town for folk where people thrive. Or make a mining town with mine workers, where people come there for the money.

Outside

Key Value
Type App / Game
Platform Mobile
Framework Game Engine

Overview

Currently Mobile App Stores are filled to the brink with shitty corporate apps, which are just ads and consumerism. People should get out of this fake world and go outside where no billboards reach them. Nowadays people are lazy, get bored and have no attention span for non-gamified things that do not cause instant gratification. This app/game tries to make the best of it.

A tracker app which tracks how much you spend time outside, in national parks, walking, jogging etc.

Tracked distances and times become some sort of in-game resource.

Build a game around that…

Snack tracker

Weekly or monthly allowance app.

USB Hub

Build a USB hub that actually works. The hub would support 2 screens, power pass-through and more. Additional usb-c slots too.

Simple Camera

Camera that has no ui by default and works with gestures.

Epaper store

A local store in Finland that has authorization to sell various e-ink devices, such as Supernote, Boox, Kobo, Pocketbook, Mudita, Minimal phone.
