hear me out - tma (the magnus archives) pixel game

I'm not a good pixel artist nor experienced game coder, but I do feel like if I continue learning those sort of hobbies a magnus archives game would be pretty epic. I do have some experience on Scratch, so that could also work if I made some art and then put it in there. Also I do know there's a rp game coming up (which I totally didn't just figure out) but this is just my ideas for a single-player game.

in my opinion it'd be pretty cool to see jon going around solving puzzles with the help of various avatars and the archival assistants, and maybe even some combat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (i keep envisioning it as pokemon style lol, or other metroidvania style :D)

(many more thoughts/ideas under the cut! I may update)

for the whole statement thing, there could be 'side quests' or people who need your help getting rid of the entity that's stalking them? I haven't fully fleshed out the idea (wink wink) but it should definitely have something about statements and statement givers.

it could follow the canon timeline or a completely different AU, or you could even choose your characters (or change them, like Omori kinda), and each has their own ability that relates to the entity they serve. For example, Martin or Peter could go invisible (the lonely), Melanie could have a combat boost or something (the slaughter), and Daisy could transform into a wolf or dog for reasons (the hunt).

It could be a 'choose your story' sorta style, where you make a character and there are multiple endings depending on your choices. I figured the character designs would be made by what the majority of the fandom sees the characters as, but the layout of the institute would also have to be thought out but it would hopefully be open world.

Oh oh oh - what if you could romance different assistants :o? This is less likely but sorta like a Hades style, where the more tasks you complete the more they help you? If you were an OC, you could probably romance any of them (pg-13 guys), but if you played as Jon it'd probably be martin, tim, and maybe a few others.

Maybe like Omori or Stardew Valley in terms of style (i promise those are not the only pixel games I know-)?? Metroidvania action adventure stylish, but simplified. Like, Jon would need a specific keycard or something to go to another floor, or enhance his Eye abilities to do learn specific.

I would love to start learning pixel art and could do 'fake screenshots' if this got enough attention and/or people wanted to see that sorta stuff. I know my art isn't the best (😅) but this would be a fun project that I could actually devote myself to, though it would take a lot of time. I think if I do do this, I'd have to git gud (double wink) at the pixel style and then get more advanced at Scratch coding.

There is an archives sim out there, and I was pretty inspired by that. Go check it out!: https://dashingdon.com/play/sazandorable/archives-sim/mygame/index.php

(PS: IDEAS VERY MUCH WELCOME!!! COMPLIMENTS AND MILD CRITISIM TOO (cause idk how far this will go))

The TMA game is so wild

I chose to align with the Stranger as soon as it popped up just so I could chat with Nikola, BUT I’ve become good friends with Tim so this is an issue
