icon Drod Idea Generator Hold (+1)  
Hi everybody, today I would like to talk about an idea I had some days ago. I'd like to start with you a collaborative hold based on the DROD idea generator.
The rules are pretty simple, I'm going to make about 50 screenshots of different ideas generated by the generator.
Everyone who would like to participate will give a random number between 1 and 30 and will be assigned with the idea corresponding.
If you already tried the generator you know that it can be pretty hasardous (that's why it could be fun ...)

As it is possible to configure the generator I was thinking of how we should configure the number of orders :

- 4 "uses", and the player will have to select at least 3.
- 3 "include this concept", and the player wil have to select at least one.

Here is an example :



So you could create a room where spikes cut mud, creating mud babies that will step on PP (and so the concept " unlikely allies " has been choseen ").
Please place in every rooms you create a scroll with the idea you get and another one with the orders you choose (and also a scroll with the description of the " use this concept " you choose).
Anyone can participate so I hope we will be many! :)

List of numbers available (the red ones have already been chosen) :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30

Here is the web page of the generator, with the detailed list of every concept and their associated explications :

http://forum.caravelgames.com/ideasGenerator/view

Also, the attached file is a virgin player profile. You should download it and edit your level with this profile so it will be easier to combine every levels in the final hold !

I think this is a neat idea and would be interested in participating. One important thing to keep in mind with the idea generator is that it can lead to terrible rooms if you adhere too strictly to its recommendations. Let's make sure to learn our lesson from the The Random Number God Hates Me contest. Making a room fun should be prioritized above sticking too strictly to the constraints. That being said, I think this:
jokokoe wrote:
- 4 "uses", and the player will have to select at least 3.
- 3 "include this concept", and the player wil have to select at least one.
Is probably enough to allow that.

EDIT: @ Quewort. To be fair, the RNG contest never resulted in a published hold. There were also a lot of flaws with the way rooms turned out in the contest, mostly due to the fact that people (myself included) focused more on following the room generator guidelines than on making the rooms fun. This would be a great opportunity to do it right.

Oops, haven't saw that there had been a contest using the generator.. Anyway we can make this hold, just for fun ! As you said Insoluble, the generator can be really terrible... I don't think we need more orders , maybe one or two " do not use ".

I'd be on board! Would we have any themes for the levels? How big would this be?

What we could do ( it's just an example ) is creating a level for every player who will participate with the list of orders written on the level description. the participant will choose 2 ( or even 3 ) random numbers and create a room associated with the corresponding orders of each number. Finally , we could create a main warp level granting access to every level made by the participants.

Tomorrow I'll start creating at least 30 images like the one you can see in the first post. Anyone who want to participate just need to tell the number(s) he choose. Also, If someone would like to create more than one room based on a list of orders, I don't see any objections ...

Hope my english isn't to bad and everyone understood what I wrote !

I've generated 30 different ideas, anyone who want to participate just need to give me 1 , 2 or 3 number(s) between 1 and 30 to get the associated idea(s).

By the way, some " include this concept " orders of some numbers doesn't correspond to any of the " use " orders.
It is not really a problem as the participant isn't restricted to use only the " use " orders.
You can use anything you want with any concept you want, but your room need to contain at least 3 of the 4 " use " orders and 1 of the 3 " include this concept ". The quality of the room is based on how well do you create interaction between the " use " and the " include this concept " orders.

P.S : I need someone to give me two numbers, thank you !

I would like 13, 4, 26.

Do you mean 2 numbers for yourself? You could have random.org pick them for you.

I'll get started soon.

In the interest of making it easier to combine the individual levels into a hold in the end, you might want to make a player profile specifically for the collab hold and export it for everyone else to use while editing.

I had fun with the RNG contest, so why not give me 6, 15, and 23.

As a suggestion for two numbers, why not take 1 and 30 for yourself?

Right, if everyone edits with that it should be easier to combine all the levels into one hold later.
