Inspiration can be hard to find at some points, at others, you can imagine anything and suddenly, you have an awesome concept.
When you're at a loss of what to do, try doing something like these:
- a specific game styled sprite. You can't think of anything? Hell, try Mario in KOF3 style, Sonic in Yoshi Touch & Go style! Anything works. Find a style at tSR and try!
- a color restriction. Pick yourself 4 colors. 8 colors. Whatever you want. Work with those colors and see if you can make something respectable out of the limits. It's a fun challenge.
- try entering a site challenge. PJ and tSR both have active challenges- maybe the theme can work for you and you can come up with something!
- use some kind of generator. There's tons of things like that: random game name generator, random name generator, etc etc. Google it, let it pick a theme for you, and you are set.
If you're still at a loss for words after trying these methods, then maybe you should go do something else and come back to it later ;D
Hope I could help!
