If you were to actually start working on a game concept, what would your big idea be? What kind of game would you most want to make?

    An experimental 4-dimensional game that looks something like this except with actual level design, puzzles, and whatever else can be feasibly fit into it. There are several existing 4D games, but very few of them actually show the full projection like that. Most just show a 3-dimensional slice and allow you to shift its position on the W axis.

    I think it would be interesting to see whether people would be able to get used to exploring 4D space - I believe there has been a study on that particular maze game above that showed people indeed learning to confidently navigate it, but what about more complex spaces?

      This guy has a lot of videos of games he's prototyping that might be the closest you'll get for now.

      We don't really navigate by creating a single cohesive map, our brains operate by landmarks, time/distance, turns, shit like that. We're way better at navigating impossible spaces than you'd expect.
