My adhd means I end up collecting ideas for games and books, but I can never manage to have the motivation for long enough to make them real.

I’m also considering making a community for this sort of thing, just not sure how used it will be

    A racing game where you deliver pizza. It’s in a city with cars driving around doing their own thing. Issue is, you are a poor pizza delivery person and gas is expensive so you don’t have a car. You have a skateboard and a electro-magnet harpoon gun. You shoot it at cars which pull you behind but have no control over where they go or how fast they go. They could stop randomly and you slam into the back. When they take a turn you could retract the cord and get closer for a tighter curve but less time to react to anything around the corner. You could extend the cord but risk slamming into the building on far side of the intersection or ending up going head first into oncoming traffic.

    There are no “tracks”. There is a starting point and a ending point in a city. How fast can you get there? Do you go most straight path there? Do you take the highway for safety but have to loop back to destination? What if the car dragging you takes a turn you didn’t want? Do you just follow or release and try to coast till there’s another car to pull you?

      I’m pretty sure I read a sci-fi novel that had that idea or something similar. I can’t remember which book it was. Little Brother by Cory Doctorow, maybe?
