Hi Im XiaoLin
let me explain the ideas I make for week one
IDEA1
Who is the player / who are they in this situation
The player is a criminal who is thrown into the backrooms and participates in the “Meat Dog” breeding experiment as a test subject.
The player is not an ordinary breeder but someone forced to take part in the experiment. They need to be responsible for raising and managing “Meat Dogs” in the backrooms and, by continuously increasing the number and level of the Meat Dogs, provide resources for the real world, thereby earning rewards.
What are they trying to do
The player’s main goal is to efficiently produce lots of Meatball Dogs in the Backrooms and transport them back to the real world for rewards.
Why are they doing it
Players do this mainly because it’s the task given to them by the experiment, and they need to complete the experiment to get rewards.
From the perspective of the whole worldview, humans are looking for more space and resources they can use. Since the Backrooms have extraordinarily large spaces, scientists put the meatball dogs, which are hard to control in the real world, into the Backrooms for large-scale breeding.
Where / when is this happening
The story takes place in the near-future Backrooms.
How might they do it
Players mainly go through four steps: damage, breeding, synthesis, and transport:
Damage → Split → Synthesize → Transport → Earn rewards → Upgrade equipment → Improve efficiency
For example:
Players use various items in the game to attack Poke-balls Dogs.
When a Poke-balls Dog takes enough damage, it consumes all its energy to summon a completely identical new Poke-balls Dog from a parallel universe.
After obtaining two Poke-balls Dogs of the same level, players can merge them into a higher-level Poke-balls Dog.
As the level increases, Poke-balls Dogs may gain new appearances and materials, like metal, gems, etc.
Players transport the Poke-balls Dog to the real world.
Players earn money or other rewards.
They use the rewards to buy new tools and equipment to improve future production efficiency.
Repeat this process to continuously expand your Poke-balls Dog production scale.
What get in the way
Space of backroom, player need spend money on some area of back room, and go different level of the back room to feed different meatball dogs.
What might happen because of their action
Will have a huge backroom filled with all kinds of cute meatball dogs
In the near future, humans try to create artificial spaces to obtain more space and resources. However, the experiment fails and creates the Backrooms. Scientists later discover a strange creature called the “Meat Dog”. When it takes enough damage, it can summon an identical copy of itself from a parallel universe. Two Meat Dogs of the same level can also be combined into a higher-level Meat Dog. Since these creatures would be difficult to control in the real world, humans decide to breed them inside the huge space of the Backrooms.
The player is a criminal who is sent into the Backrooms to take part in this experiment. The player damages the Meat Dogs to make them multiply, combines them into higher-level creatures, and sends them back to the real world to receive rewards. These rewards can be used to buy new tools and equipment to increase production efficiency. As the Meat Dogs become stronger, they can even change into valuable materials such as metal and gemstones.
The player takes on the role of a criminal placed inside the “Backrooms” to participate in an experiment involving the breeding of “Meat Dogs.” The backstory goes like this: in the near future, humanity sought to create new artificial spaces using technology to secure more resources and living area. However, a glitch in the experiment resulted in the creation of the Backrooms—a realm where space-time relationships are chaotic, yet the defining characteristic of vastness remains. Through their efforts, Earth’s biologists created a new lifeform known as the “Meat Dog.” These strange creatures possess two unique abilities: first, when sustaining sufficient damage, they channel their total energy to summon an identical copy of themselves from a parallel universe; second, two Meat Dogs can merge to form a higher-level, more specialized variant. While such creatures—capable of infinite division—would be a nightmare to manage on Earth, their explosive population growth within the Backrooms allows them to serve as a massive resource pool for humanity. High-level Meat Dogs can even alter their physical composition, transforming into materials like metal or gemstones. The player’s mission is to breed these creatures in the Backrooms; for instance, using in-game items to damage the Meat Dogs triggers their division, and transporting them to the real world earns the player rewards that can be used to purchase items to further boost production efficiency.
IDEA2
Who is the player / who are they in this situation
The player is a very strong but simple-minded soldier. He is not good at using weapons such as swords or spears because he is too strong and often hurts himself or his teammates by accident. Because of this, his main weapon is a huge and extremely heavy shield.
The player was originally part of a team that was hunting a dark mage, but the other members of the team were killed by the dark mage’s followers. He is now the only one left.
What are they trying to do
The player is trying to continue the journey alone and find and defeat the dark mage.
Why are they doing it
The player’s teammates have all been killed, so he decides to finish the mission for them.
However, he is very stupid and does not even understand what “retreat” means. He does not realise how dangerous it is to fight the dark mage alone.
For him, the mission is simple: keep moving forward and hit the dark mage until he wins.
Where / when is this happening
The story takes place in a fantasy world where magic exists.
The story takes place in a world where magic is an important part of life
How might they do it
The player mainly fights with his huge shield instead of using traditional weapons or magic.
His main attack is very simple: raise the shield, run towards the enemy and crush them with the shield.
Along the way, the player can collect different shields and items, such as:
Huge Shield: Provides very high defence and weight.
Mirror Shield: Can reflect light or enemy magic attacks.
Rocket Shield: Uses rockets to launch the player towards enemies and crush them.
Anti-Dark-Magic Potion: Helps the player resist dark magic.
Special Shields: Provide different offensive or defensive abilities.
The player becomes stronger by collecting these items and improving his strength, defence and impact power, eventually relying on raw physical power to defeat his enemies.
What get in the way
The main obstacles are the dark mage and his followers.
What might happen because of their action
As the player continues his journey, he becomes stronger and collects increasingly powerful and ridiculous shields.
Eventually, he may reach the dark mage’s castle and fight the dark mage in the final battle.
The game takes place in a fantasy world filled with magic. The player is a very muscular but simple-minded soldier. Because he is too strong and cannot use weapons properly, he often hurts himself or his teammates during combat. As a result, his main weapon is a huge and extremely heavy shield.
The player’s team was originally on a mission to defeat a dark mage, but all of his teammates were killed by the mage’s followers. The player does not realise that he should retreat, so he decides to continue the mission alone.
The player mainly fights using his huge shield, using blocking, charging and special shield abilities to defeat enemies. During the journey, he can collect different shields and items, such as a Mirror Shield that reflects magic, a Rocket Shield that launches him into enemies, and potions that protect him from dark magic. He becomes stronger by collecting better equipment and eventually reaches the dark mage’s castle to fight him alone.
The protagonist is a soldier with a massive, muscular build but very little brainpower; too dim-witted to handle sharp weapons effectively—and prone to accidentally injuring his own teammates—he relies solely on a colossal, incredibly heavy shield as his weapon. He lives in a magical world where his entire squad was wiped out by the minions of a dark wizard while on a quest to defeat him, leaving him as the sole survivor. Yet, he resolutely decides to press on and confront the dark wizard alone—simply because he is too stupid to understand the concept of retreat. Along the way, he collects various items, such as potions to counter dark magic and a range of shields—including a mirror shield that reflects light and a rocket-propelled greatshield that allows him to charge at enemies and smash them to pieces. His primary method of attack is to simply hold up his massive shield and ram his opponents to death; he is a straightforward, unadorned juggernaut of raw stats.
IDEA3
Who is the player / who are they in this situation
The player is a man with a strong tendency towards violence. He lives in a strange world with high oxygen levels, where animals are much larger and their meat is extremely tough. To control his violent behaviour, he works as a “Meat Beater”.
What are they trying to do
The player needs to repeatedly attack large pieces of meat to make them softer and more delicious. At the same time, they must dodge or block the meat’s attacks during the fight, eventually turning it into high-quality meat that can be cooked and sold.
Why are they doing it
The player uses Meat Beating to control his violent tendencies while making a living from preparing meat and cooking. For him, the job is both a way to release his violent impulses and a way to earn money.
Where / when is this happening
The story takes place in a strange world that is different from our own. It has higher oxygen levels, much larger animals, and extremely tough meat. Even after a piece of meat is cut from an animal, it remains partially alive and retains some ability to attack.
Because of this, people secure large pieces of meat in their workplaces and fight them to improve the quality of the meat.
How might they do it
The player hangs or secures a huge piece of meat from the ceiling and fights it like a boxing match.
The player can use punches, melee attacks and different movements to attack the meat while watching its movements and reacting with dodges, blocks and counterattacks. Although the meat cannot move freely, it can swing, hit the player and make small counterattacks.
As the player continues fighting, the condition of the meat gradually changes, eventually becoming softer, tastier and more valuable.
What get in the way
The main obstacle is the meat itself. Although the meat is fixed in place, it remains partially alive and can attack the player.
The player also needs to control the timing and strength of their attacks, because attacking too aggressively may damage the meat and reduce its final quality.
What might happen because of their action
By successfully beating the meat, the player improves its quality and can turn it into more delicious and expensive dishes, earning more money.
As the game progresses, the player may face larger and more dangerous pieces of meat with different attack patterns. The gameplay therefore becomes a combination of boxing, dodging, blocking and meat processing in a close-combat action game.
The player is a man with a strong tendency towards violence, living in a strange world with higher oxygen levels, huge animals and extremely tough meat. Even after being cut from an animal, the meat remains partially alive and can fight back, creating a special job called “Meat Beating”. The player fights the meat like a boxing match, using attacks, dodges and blocks to improve its quality, while also releasing his violent impulses and making a living by producing and selling high-quality meat.
The player takes on the role of a man with severe violent tendencies living in a world characterized by high oxygen levels and massive animals whose meat is incredibly tough. Strangely, severed chunks of meat retain their aggressive nature; consequently, a profession known as “meat-beating” exists, where massive cuts of meat are suspended from the ceiling and pummeled like punching bags to tenderize them and improve their flavor. The protagonist channels his violent urges into this activity, using the brutal act of striking the meat to manage his aggression while simultaneously producing delicious meat dishes to make a living.
