So I had the idea for a game engine, but never for the game to go with it. I wanted the engine to be ascii art but rendered differently; with text placed in three colours(RGB) over the same space, and where they line up they overlay colour as normal. I've had inklings of ideas to go with this, but those ideas never stick, just the engine itself.

​

MS: The Engine itself, maybe a small village with some "NPCs" to talk to.

​

PoA:

1. totally ASCII art

2. ascii on 3 layers; red green blue

3. overlayed pixels are overlayed colours

4. randomly generated island

5. each "zone" generated based on base seed

6. text off the edges of the screen to slide in instead of buffer

7. village

8. NPC interaction mechanic
