No progress on the game out of sheer lack of direction. I don't know if anyone else has every felt like this, but I want to make my game idea so bad, but I can't get myself to make any progress. I feel like, if the game is not fun, then I will have wasted a whole bunch of time. I also am looking for that art style which I can do and be happy with. I don't think I have ever actually shared my idea, so maybe it will inspire someone else. It is largely undeveloped, but finishing it off would be easy.

The entire game is based off Cooperation and Relationships. That's right, relationships. Each level you will be assigned a task, and you want to complete the task before the computer player does. The computer player is another player in the game, competing to complete the task first, and each level can be beat without the computers help, but cooperation is in both players interests. If you complete the task, then you are rewarded, so your goal is to win on each task. But the thing is, for each time the computer loses or you show poor teamwork, your "relationship" with the computer decreases. This will entail the computer becoming ruthless, denying to help you and even harming you. (Through the game there will be objects that could be used to harm the other player) So your underlying goal is to maintain a 51%-49% relationship with the computer, so that the computer will cooperate, but you will reap the benefits. So all your actions come into the strategy of the game, and often letting the computer will be more beneficial to you than for you to win.
