Steampunk Willie, Unshipped
Between Christmas and New Year 2023 I opened the stock Flutter template and started typing ideas instead of code. Four days, and then January came and it stopped.
It was all brainstorm. A steampunk action-adventure called steampunk willie. Melee with a wrench or a samurai sword. A blunderbuss steam rifle, a flamethrower, bombs, a steam powered rang. Instruments to unlock secrets: horn, xyla, harp, and a line that just says "blah" where the third instrument should be. Later, a steam gauntlet, an arc blaster, a plasma launcher, a heat pistol. Traps, turrets, pets. Enemies are robots and reanimated robot zombies. Dungeons, each with a mini-boss with simple patterns and a powerup at the end. There's also a list of city names, Kansas, Sapporo, Palm Springs, Lille, Providenciales, and I don't remember what they were for.
It never got past the list, but I'd clearly played a lot of Zelda, because music puzzles that unlock secrets were already a must-have. I came back to games later and more seriously.
