Ideas?

Hello everyone!

Been a while since I posted anything significant here! So I've been thinking for a long time about a side project to work on while Zenith works on HPD, and I can't seem to think of anything :(

So, my question to you guys is: What do you do to think of ideas? For anything really? I'm sure that for a lot of you, the answer is "It just comes to me", but I'm looking for anything a little more constructive than that ;)

Thanks everyone!

Stick to one project, work on anything and everything HPD, what you can't put in code or design put on paper for when you can. Do not get side tracked! I wish someone would yell this at me :)

Yeah, I definitely 2nd Halls' statement. Do not start a second project, particularly when your main project is coming along so fast and furiously! If you are really at a point where you don't have anything to do for the time being, work on some experimental ideas for the main game. Maybe try out some new client-side Javascript elements that could either add more functionality or some jazz to HPD. Or whip out Microsoft (or Open) Office and do some design work. There are almost always more items to make, more quests to think up, more spells to flesh out, etc. The nitty-gritty of design work can take a very long time for a well-stocked MMO/PBBG.
