Yeah, I have a few ideas for the future.Here's a list:
Bad Banana - about a bank-robing banana on the run.
A Mile For An Inch Tall Man - about Tom Goldheart, a very kind inch-tall man who decides to take a run for charity. He has to travel a mile trough the crowded city. There are two ways to solve each puzzle - one makes Tom more evil and one makes him more kind. It will be hard to find out which one will make him which and there will be three endings - neutral, evil and good.
Weird World - the first game I ever wanted to make but due to my lack of skill at the time the first 4 rooms ended up beeing very buggy. I deleted it by accident but I still have the script so the story is - after having a wild party you wake up in a weird world. Purple cats talk and ask you for cigarettes, fences fight with you and bins have tongues. Your mission is to destroy sanity.
Chocaholic Zombies- Zombies are eating all hte chocolate by night and are leaving you without! Kill the bastards!

These are all highly original and especially bizarre ideas.
I simply see no other answer to your problem. Combine them all.

An inch tall banana robs a bank for charity only to wake up a weird world where purple cats and aggressive fences are the least of your worries because chocaholic zombies are endangering the very existence of the universe.

If I had to pick the most interesting and viable onem, it would be the one with the one inch guy....It has potential for multiple situations and puzzles ....

The one about the inch tall man reminds me of "good santa bad santa"

You'll have to make sure you make it diferent enough.

Well, the whole good santa bad santa thing is great and all, But it isn't excactly the first and only game to be like that. I think the plot and story are different enough to make it stand out.

I have probs with the zombie one, dosen't sound very well thought out, and that may just be how it's presented here....

The bank robbing banana idea is the same, not very fleshed out at this point, it needs more to even interest me beyond a glance.

Maybe tell us a little more?

I think the inch-high guy one sounds the most viable.  As for a couple of the others, they'd do more as mini-games.  There just doesn't seem to be enough info to flesh out the plot line.  As for the weird world thing, it seems you've thought out the introduction fairly well but it might do to put some thought into what'll happen next (not just destroying sanity) but what kind of situations will he encounter?

You mean the inch tall guy or the weird world hero? If you mean the weird world one,I planned it to be 3 acts with about 18 rooms each(yeah I know it's a bit too much but I cut out the last act). There is a lot of combining different objects and overall props play a big part. There is wordplay too ( fence that fights is the fence that fences, wally is a wall painted red and white etc.)  The hero has to collect information that will help her (a female plumber) to get out of that world and destroy sanity in the process. The inch tall guy -  he will need to do simple things ordinary people consider easy - crossing the road, getting up on a parkbench, asking directions etc. All this would be  pretty hard if you're one inch tall. I didn't think much about bad banana or the chocaholic zombies - bad banana is just a ditty me and my sis made up and chocaholic zombies is from a nightmare.

Okay, the weird world one sounds better now, and I like the female plumber idea, just don't make her look like mario or have plumbers crack...please.... I still gotta go with the one inch tall guy though, it's my fav...

Femme Stab Mode >:D

No, I'm not going to do that, I'm not that awful. Here's a picture of the inch tall man. He doeasn't look very kind because that's the neutral version.

I love the banana idea! If you go with the one inch man idea, coule we have the bank robbing banana as the villain please?

SLaMgRInDeR

yeh! ther could be a puzzle about it, if you catch him, it makes you nicer, if you help him, it makes you worse, if you lose him, it makes you more nuteral.

That would be a bit too obvious don't you think? I was going to make the score invisible and only let the player found out what the character turned out to be in the end. During most of the game Tom ( the main character) will look kind and will only turn out evil, kind or neutral in the end.
