As you probably know, I plan on entering the video game industry within the next decade. My mind is always thinking up random ideas for different games of all genres. Earlier tonight, I was hit with an idea for a game about disease, and the spreading thereof. I call it "Super Spready Virus."

Basically, you start off by controlling a single virus, and you infect a host cell. From there, you infect all of the surrounding cells and begin attacking the entire body, until the carrier is sick. Then you control the sick bird or mouse and infect the other animals, until the disease spreads to the human population. By the end of the game, you'll be controlling swarms of brain-dead sick people in an attempt to conquer the world.

I haven't thought up the specifics yet, but I like the idea of starting off microscopic and spreading to the entire world. I guess that would make the game fit into the light-strategy genre. Maybe the parts inside the body are side-scrolling, as you navigate the bloodstream and fight off medicine and try and bring down the immune system. Then it becomes a top-down game as you destroy the world with your army of diseased folks. Like Little King's Story, except you control different virus-carriers (mice, birds, people) instead of different job cIasses.

Once I give it more thought, I can explain it a little better. I mostly wanted to write this down so I wouldn't forget about it.

There's this lady in my kingdom in Little King's Story named Lyrica. She seems to have a thing for dying. Every surprise attack, boss battle, and mission culminates with her death, for one reason or another. She's a basic grunt soldier, and has an average supply of health (6), yet she's always the first to die. Meanwhile, Letty, a fellow soldier, continues to destroy everything in her path (she has 8 health points!). Also, Lyrica's husband is a hunter named Oliver. He was so good that I gave him Cupid's Bow (my "goodness" ranking is based on first name).

Not shown: Lyrica being an all-around failure.

So, I've decided to kick Lyrica off of my Royal Guard, because she sucks. I know every character in the game is equal besides the randomly-generated health points, yet she seems to be significantly worse. You have no idea how many "Lyrica croaked..." and "Lyrica kicked the bucket. Too bad." messages I've gotten in my campaigns as king of the known world. I'd give her an item to boost her effectiveness, but she'd probably just die and make me give it to someone else anyway.

I hate you, Lyrica.

This is an idea I've had for a while... and it only took me an hour and a half to make it!

That last one is larger because my eyes had turned red from staring at the screen for so long; maybe you can tell. And yes, I realize I forgot the basic "".
