D5/AoE/Mario Kart - 2007-11-27 10:29 (Tuesday) - Entry 996 - TOGoS's Journal

I dreampt that Fizz and I were playing some RTS game. For some reason I thought of it as Age of Empires, even though it was very different. One of the cool things about this game was that it was on an infinite map, so you could explore and expand your base as far as you wanted. Fizz and I started out near each other, building factories and pumps and refineries on pieces of land with a lot of resources. He was, as far as I knew, building stuff up to the north west of where I was. We were playing against an enemy computer, but we defeated it and so I changed my stance on Fizz to 'enemy'. He quickly started attacking my base, and I sent my Mario (Marios looked like non-super Mario, ran fast, and carried spears) off to the east to find a new place to build. But Fizz had a big crowd of Marios waiting for him, and he didn't last long. It turned out he had built defenses all around my base, so it didn't seem very likely that I'd be able to get a guy through to escape.

I'm thinking that I should make this game. The engine I created last weekend could do it...
