Actually, new ideas are always great. Sometimes you have to try and make a game, and who knows? It might be a hit! That video got me wanting to play that game, to be honest.
I think this would be awesome to play (I also love synthwave ). You can also extend this game behond what is shown in the video when you are done. Maybe you could get points to upgrade things when you drive?
Weird argument. Players a generally very open to games no matter what style. We literally have a dark and gorey FPS on the same platform as a bright and cheerful game in which you take care of pets.
Don’t limit yourself to what you “think people will like/hate” Players genuinely only care about gameplay - as long as graphics don’t get in the way. Make a good game and you can apply virtually any theme to it. (As long as it fits)
