Let me try and keep this short and sweet.
While I have some experience in creative writing. My attempts to come up with the plot needed to make an interesting game have generally failed.
I instead realize I just wanted to program (write code). More specifically program a game beyond a simple board or puzzle game.
Since there are so many resources on available here (sprites, sounds, etc). I figured I could just make use of some set of those to make a generic boring clone of some existing game, but with an engine I wrote. Which would be fun for me.
I personally have considered classics like Zelda or Pokemon. But it is possible I overlooked something else (better).
So my question is, in the opinion of the experienced staffers here, what might be a good game to clone?
