Survive the levels

You are initially a good taliban with good intentions

The evil capitalist states have gone too far

You blow up the EVIL TWIN towers

Killing enemies gives experience which upgrades your gun

Enemies sometimes drop special abilities

Mid level, there’s a mini boss

End level, there’s a bigger boss

End of each level you get better gear

(Adding to it, you can get decoy weapons too (like flash bombs to divert enemy attention and stuff)

Standard Enemies:

  • Intellectuals
  • Babies[g] (Please don’t make me rot in hell for this) Oh we are all going to hell lmao anyways
  • White People

Mini Bosses[h][i][j][k]:

  • Orange Baby Trump
  • Rainbow Lover Putin
  • Strawberry Bush
  • Boxer Dog Jake Paul
  • Beekeeper Mao
  • Tiger Obama
  • Totally Human Zuck
  • Pig Gold Lover Bezos
  • Crypto Musk
  • Vanilla Macaroon (Macron)
  • Undying Queen (Elizabeth)
  • Kangaroo Jack (AUSTRALIA MATE)

Jeb’s Idea #2 - Educational hacking simulator[m] [n]

You play as a cyber criminal that is using “evil twin” attacks to get money. With money you can invest in more and better equipment and increase your “business”.

First you have $500, you buy raspberry pie - micro computer, laptop and server. Then you make a shitty login website. Then you code ransomware. Then you put that raspberry pie to some mc donalds or mall. People are starting to connect to that wifi, it is slow and the login screen is crappy so people are not using it that much. You get a little bit of login credentials and pollute a few computers. Few of them pay ransom in bitcoins and you sell those login credentials. -> you get more money, you have options to buy different things: better login screen, better raspberry.

faster wifi, more bad equipment to other places. All will increase your “customers”, if you invest better website it will help you get more percentage of people to fall the scam, but with less equipment there will be less people to scam or hack. With bad security police will catch you and the game ends. With not enough money you cannot pay security.

Why is this educational? The game teaches player, don't use random wifi’s, use different password everywhere, shorter passwords are easy to hack, maybe hack hashes with password lists, use vpn, etc… Also point out that hacking without permission is criminal and should not be done. TLDR: educate player how to stay safe on the internet.[o]

Jeb’s Idea #1 - Interactive storytellinf[m] [n]

There are 2 twins, one is working as police and other is drug dealer or something generally “bad”. the character, good or bad, changes in every level as the story comes together. in levels you collect glues and talk to npc’s etc… you have to make decisions and that affect to the story and ending. like you talk to npc and you have 3 option to ask, but only one. Ask about “who” “when” or “why”. or “garage”, “jack” or “tomorrow”. police is also bad, maybe they confiscate drug money and you have option to steal that to your ill son’s medicine and the bad is also good, maybe he is robbing rich like robin hood and give that to poor one’s at the end you have to make decision of maybe killing the police or prisoning the drug lord or something like that. Let’s say there are 4 endings that differ from previous decisions Player is challenged to think who is bad and who is good.

Meme’s Idea #1

Evil Twin also means : -> hidden wireless point operating near legitimate point… So U play as a hacker and have to get into bank security vaults and create two to three fake ports .. you have to escape from the other security and stuff

Meme’s Idea #2

(It;s bit controversial but we can change use case)
a person who is victim of war hates his leaders because of them the war started and he hopes to take revenge. he also believes other leaders r guilty because they didn’t do anything to help his country. So he becomes kind of like an assassin and starts trying to kill politicians. However
politicians have lots of power. So “there’s this concept called quantum twin which is like one soul switches btw two bodies” like jeb when sleeping or inactive, his soul switches to another guy in opp timezone. And if jeb dies, so will the other guy…(HE finds about this concept by investigating and coincidence) so the assassin has to solve puzzle to find politician twin and kill him off… if he kills the twin, the politician dies the same way (finding the political evil twin can also be a small case)
And in the end , one of the evil twin would be his closest family itself … what would he do then?? (Would be a good ending point)

https://www.thequint.com/lifestyle/books/ashwin-sanghi-new-book-review-keepers-of-the-kalachakra#read-more (ignore the religious shit but the plot is really good… Read the points in blue)
Tldr for that article can be summarised here in this point
(What if)…a Chinese factory worker is also an American nightclub singer…a primary schoolteacher in India is a politician in Westminster…In effect, it is possible that every human being on earth shares consciousness with someone else – his or her quantum twin…As with entangled quantum particles, if you change the quantum characteristic of one, you will change the characteristic of the other. Kill one and the other will also die. In fact, killing the quantum twin is the cleanest way to kill high-powered leaders – who are always surrounded by several layers of high security – without leaving the slightest trace!

VLYK's’s Idea - Tower defense

The frontier is being attacked by waves of monsters. You are sent as the commander of the civilized world to rebuild and push the enemies.
During the day, build & research towers
During the night, survive the wave of enemies
Every end of the day, your scout party comes back and brings you information about the enemy forces (provides you with game lore/story/setting), turns out the enemies are humans dressed in weird clothes from “uncivilized” tribes living outside the wall
Day 3, a unrevealed boss appears, when you get him down to 75% hp, he says “You have been told lies, you don’t know what you’re doing”, he runs away
Day 5, the boss comes back, when you get him down to 50%, he reveals himself, he looks just like you, he’s your long lost twin brother! He explains that everyone in the “civilized” world is being tricked. They continuously expand and kill off the native people. He begs you to stop before leaving
Day 7, Brother comes back at the end of the wave as the final boss. When he gets to 10%, you are offered the choice:
Stop and let them through the gates
Defeat him and imprison all of them
Kill him
