I created a little generator for coming up with (mostly terrible, but occasionally interesting) game ideas. I then tried making a little game based on a generated prompt about ghosts and beekeeping.
You can try the idea generator online here:

Wow an interesting use case for a custom parser
the first random idea i got was ""A game about fashion and crime, in which you explode whenever you jump."…. make this
"I just learned blender in 5 mins" ha /s
i used the genoraitor and gott somting so good A quirky little game about gardening, where you play as a pyromaniac in an alternate reality.
"A third-person game about totalitarianism, where you play as a gamer inside a dream."
It gave me this and ngl it actually sounds like something I would play
AHHHHHHHHH
"A sci-fi horror game that takes place in a bustling sewer, where you play as a wise witch with no soul trying to pay off a debt."
This doesn't make any sense XD
A whimsical mix between the rhythm and hack-and-slash game genres, where you play as a polite adventurer who will stop at nothing to pay the rent on time.
This COULD be done. But it would take a very good team and I think it would be easier to make a good game about someone trying to make that game than actually making it.
An intense game about isolation that takes place on the back of a lazy elephant, where you play as a family of forgetful aliens who need to defeat a league of presidents who are addicted to cartoons. HAHAH WTF
2:54 "A typing game about justice and robot rights"
-the virtual generator
man… this needs to hapen: 2:51
An open-world puzzle game that takes place in a poorly-decorated sewer, where you play as a polite thief who will stop at nothing to save the world from a league of doctors.
Amazing
ok, but the ghost beekeeper idea is so cute… er, minus the idea of the spiders begging for mercy
A game about fate that takes place on the back of a nervous giant, where you play as an organization of trolls trying to pay the rent on time. HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
A hack-and-slash game that takes place on a mysterious mountain, where you play as an artificial intelligence who loathes aliens and will stop at nothing to build an armageddon-device.
A stylish side-view game about punishment, where you play as a tiny queen inside your head.
A puzzle game about lies, where you play as a group of tax collectors on a street.
A whimsical blend of the role-playing and sandbox game genres, where you play as a duck with a tendency to over-share who will stop at nothing to make the world a better place.
A tower-defense game about robot rights, where you play as a gang of gigantic aliens in a vibrant labyrinth.
heh
I think your spiders are impossibly cute. Well done!
Maybe you can make it so the ghost can control animals and then play as them and then get back out
My first idea I got was pretty interesting. "A shooter game about dancing, where you play as a tax collector inside a dumpster." — I don't know how to code… But it seems nice.
"A game about war that takes place in a warehouse, where you play as an organization of lazy witches who desperately want to found a new religion."
and
"A mashup of the adventure and stealth game genres, which tells a story of the circle of life and immortality."
I'd play these 🙂
Edit: "A shooter game about power and mental illness, with a competitive splitscreen mode." also sounds pretty cool ngl
My "Little Project" ya of course nothing it just took me like 10,000 lines of code and a day worth of work
it is a game is youtube but bad so you r going to be good
I got "A frustrating first-person sci-fi game with an emphasis on crafting."
I got this "A game about extraterrestial life set in an alien warehouse, where you play as a gang of wealthy gamers who want to explore the universe."
I got "A mix between the text-adventure and bullet hell game genres, which tells a story of crime and survival." on my first try, which sounds a bit like the Yoko Taro game NieR 😅
I ran the generator and got "A game about aliens that takes place in a popular shopping mall, where you play as a wise witch with a controversial opinion on politics who wants to found a new religion."
I'm actually going to save this one, it's too good.
I need someone who teaches me to code a Game
A blend of the strategy and stealth game genres, which tells a story of justice and greed. Feels a lot like a game i now of
"A sports game where you play as an influencer who can fly and needs to build an armageddon-device."
Flying in a sports game?
it's a masterpice, I got:
"A satirical shooter game where you play as a president who desperately wants to pay the rent on time."¨
nice
Hey, have you showed anywhere how to create those bee script?
The Giant Enemy Spider

Dude… DUDE!!!
*A groovey third-person sci-fi game where you play as a skeleton who needs to save the world from an evil businesswoman. (ahahah j'adore)*
I tried the generator and got this lmao
"An amusing game about sadness and death."
Hey is there any extension for shader code intellisense like urs is colored while mine looks like notepad document.
A horror game with lots of character customization options, where you play as an astronaut who can fly trying to found a new religion.
Seems like the best game ever lol
"An isometric game where you play as a horde of well-dressed ninjas with no friends who want to explore the galaxy.", "A stylish top-down fantasy game about sadness, where you play as a famous mechanic during a terrible disaster.", "A mix between the hack-and-slash and survival game genres, where you play as a police officer who wants to start a new life in the city."
"A blend of the stealth and dating game genres, which tells a story of friendship and religion."

"A satirical blend of the bullet hell and bike racing game genres, which tells a story of exploration and crime." – 10/10
"A terrifying tower-defense game with a watercolor art style."
ah yes. terrifying. and watercolor.
I like the ghost mechanic of dashing to kill a spider
which coding langauge did u use of rmaking the idea generator?
I kind of liked this one that I got "A sci-fi game where you play as an evil student attempting to learn to stop caring what others think."
I used your generator to make a game
"An endless runner game with a grappling-hook mechanic." This could actually be good
already an idea generator in codepen! lol
Which programming you used is it java or python
A game about justice that takes place during a volcano eruption, where you play as an organization of zombies attempting to protect the time-machine. done
