the part that pains me is that I attempted to do something like this, or atleast use it as inspiration, I really dig games where you can experiment and come up with different results, that could happen in any game to be honest, like for example the cooking mechanic in arx fatalis, a game that mostly consists on fighting but every once in awhile you can't help but to dick around in some random room you find, you can turn the oven on or lit something on fire and drag a piece of unbaked bread on a place that you think has fire and it does it's thing, wait for too long and it'll burn, the game never tells you that you can do this but its there, you can even cook things you couldn't expect to cook like a helmet or something, its fucking stupid but it exists, no matter how useless it is the little details are there and it makes the experience all the better, so I was working on this game project where the player starts on this huge empty xen-like floating island in some strange alien dimension, you could expand your xen island by somehow manipulating the land to the point of having "mass" in that case it could be anything, plant, animal, feces, etc, I would later have a scene where invasive alien vines would sprout from below the floating island due to being lured by high temperatures coming from the island's core, a type of genetic you can play with that tells the vine/creature how to behave, but it would later die and get hardened as the plants needed to be surrounded by a special gas that kept their sexual organs productive, the gas had it's own alien property like the increase of testosterone and other weird shit I was experimenting with, the idea I had was that the floating world was there for players to sculpt in an evolutionary perspective, so I made concepts like what would happen if the player fucked around for so long that some of the fungus looked meaty and started reproducing flesh/skin thus engulfing the entire island with weird alien flesh, where you can click anywhere to spawn pimples as if it was it's own flora which can serve as nutrients for other weird fucked up creatures, the whole island could also be this huge fucking venus trap, I have tons of other shit written down, sketches, briefing and so on.
