    UPDATE: Here's my first three Giant Bomb microgames! 
      

    And don't miss my Deadly Premonition microgames as well! 
    (Original post follows.)
     
    So I got this game today and it's kind of awesome. But I needed an idea for a game outside of the obvious "extremely graphic violence in like four frames of animation and tons of red pixels." 
     
    So I decided to start working on a series of Giant Bomb-themed microgames! 
     
    I'm still trying to figure out exactly how the games will play and such, but so far I have a barebones Bombcast theme song in there, and this:

    I'm drawing these sprites in Paint for ease of creation, and then replicating them in WWDIY. 
     
    More info as I make progress!

    I made some progress on the first game, "Tiny Bomb!"

    It's extremely simple: you just click on the tiny Giant Bomb bomb as it bounces around to blow it up. Doing so results in victory. Subsequent games will be more creative, I hope :\

    Haha. Very nice. I like what you got so far. The theme sounds great. You should try making the break music.

    Ooh, this is a very good idea. Since you can only have so many measures of music, this is even better; I can have one game use the intro/outtro section of the break music, and another use the middle "main" bit. 
     
    I now have some filler sprites drawn for an ACTIVE/MAYBE/NEVER game, but I'm lacking ideas of how to implement it. Anyone?

    Hm. Well, I don't know about a game idea, but you could have the NEVER lady appear after failing/succeeding, depending on the goal, in a microgame accompanied with the giant "NEVER" on the screen.

    Well I couldn't think of anything to do with the active/maybe?/never concept for now, so I started working on Whirl World, a microgame where you play as Dave in the flaming helicopter trying to avoid rockets being fired by Ryan from the ground below. (Microgames consisting solely of wanton helicopter destruction are also planned!) Screens of this soon, although the art is very early, I'm mostly just fiddling with the AI. 
     
    EDIT: WhirlWorld game done, going to finish up art and post video tomorrow.

    • Minigame where you wrestle Chie in luchador masks
    • Minigame where you play as brad and you try your best to stay alive for as long as possible as things attack you
    • Minigame where you have to mimic drinking gin and then spaz out
    • Minigame where you have to breath heavily into the wiimote with your nose for the duration of the game
    • Minigame where you start at 100% and in order to win... you have to get more than 100%
    • Ooh ooh! Minigame where you have to stand there and wave your hands around emphatically while talking

    Dude, that's sick.  I love how you even got the song in there and everything. 
    As for a suggestion for a GB-related mini-game... 
    You could make one where you're Dave in an Arkham Asylum straight-jacket and you have to escape the pursuing Ryan.

    You could have a bunch of RPG games at the top of the screen, and the review guys on the bottom, and you have to drag all the borin-ass Russian RTS games over to Dave in like 5 seconds.
    When you complete it you get a 5-stars icon, and if you fail you get 1. Obviously.

    @Ryax: that's a rocket launcher :P 

    Well I'll be working until later tonight, but, in the meantime, here's a video of my progress on WhirlWorld: 
      
    You play as Dave Snider attempting to pilot...erm,  drive a helicopter between two buildings, all the while avoiding rockets fired from Ryan Davis, below. Simply tap to change the helicopter's direction. The art is not final; there'll be cool clouds and stuff, and the helicopter will be on fire.

    I'm just finishing up WhirlWorld, and I temporarily abandoned the Active/Maybe?/NEVER game in favor of a easier-to-picture-completed-soon idea: Ryan's Revenge. (It won't actually be called that, as it won't fit in the blank.)

    I absolutely thought it was a bong also. The new one is a thousand times more rocket launcher-y.
     
    I still think you should do a Giant Bong parody game..

    Going with the bomb idea, you could do one that cuts the fuse to stop it from going off, or one to light the fuse.
    You could make one where you have to remove Dave's shirt.
    Help Jeff dodge shots from Kayne and Lynch. 
    One where as Brad you have to kill yourself in game. (makes a change from actually making a jump)

    A tomagachi looking virtual pet game starring Peter Molyneux's liverspotted balls and you have to get the mood bar from red to green by tickling them (like your creature in Black & White or Milo). Also show status bars for hunger, tiredness, karma, etc...

    Could you make a game where Chie is eating a steak (tapping the steak) and she gets more and more covered in steak juices lol Im actually looking forward to this game, it looks simple enough to start to enjoy but with just enough complexity to make something interesting though in the UK it seems to be the end of April its out.

    The only problem with all the Persona 4 ones is that I'm not very good at drawing in general, much less anime-style, like P4. I'll give it a shot, though, once I'm finished with a few ideas I have. One of the biggest problems I'm having with WWDIY is that you can only have two games-in-progress at once! D:

    @takua108: 
    Your sprite work still looks great though. Just make 8-bit versions of Charlie, Chie, and the gang, like how you've been doing with everyone else. I think that'd still look just as cool. Speaking of, love the Ryan sprite. Looking forward to seeing it blow up a helicopter.
     
    So here's a game idea I just got: Charlie doing the Rainy Day Special Mega Beef Bowl Challenge. A simple mashing game and when you succeed, Charlie enters the Meat Dimension.

    I made one game about "pulling a brad". It's more of a joke game, nothing overly complicated. I used some of @takua108: assets for it though.

    Finally decided to work on the NEVER game. In it, a "ACTIVE," "MAYBE?," or "NEVER" randomly pops up, and you have to choose which Nintendo E3 press conference icon represents that section of the populace!

    There needs to be a Brad game where you have to "Pull a Brad" to win.
     
    In other words, you actually have to die on purpose.

    Someone needs to make a game where the setting is Vinny and Jeff sitting on a couch and when you touch Vinny he casts Bufu and Jeff's head just explodes a moment after.
