@Kamdroid Too bad!
-
@kamdroid Have you read my mind, huh? :-D
-
@gamecrazy hm... this is a pretty tough prompt.
Does it specifically have to be about history or can it just be somewhat related? For example, is a kangaroo boxing game enough for Australia or does it need to be more related to history and culture?
-
@gamecrazy it’s not a bad idea, but I’m guessing there aren’t a lot of people on here that are huge fans of history. I think games like @Jack8680’s kangaroo boxing idea would be easier for some people. I honestly have no idea what I would do a game on for history.
-
@jack8680 Nope, a kangaroo boxing game is definitely good enough. You can use certain food as a weapon, or set the stage with Australian music. That would be really cool!
@iTap-Development Games like @Jack8680 recommended are good! It is about creativity really!
-
Another idea (just throwing them out there) is a game set place on a certain holiday, or a game where you are running to like a food market... You could put up signs n stuff.

Wait..... Is kangaroo boxing a real thing in Australia? 🤣
-
Australian food?
Australian music?
I'm trying to figure out, which is a more distasteful and talentless pile of garbage: Vegemite, or Kylie Minogue?
-
@deeeds You know, Melbourne has a really active music scene right now. It is nothing short of awesome.
Now, do yourself a favor and listen to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizzard
-
Can we get a game that explains the difference between the currently "correct" celebrating of your heritage and the currently "incorrect" ideals of supporting your nation?
-
@gamecrazy Have you been to Melbourne? I have. I wouldn't wish it on an enemy. Cold and miserable, hot and unbearable, then wet and dark, followed by bright and bitingly windy. In one day. Every day.
-
@gamecrazy The best thing about a trip to Melbourne? The Great Ocean road is epic, and travelling it in the right direction means you're leaving Melbourne.
-
Guys, it doesn't have to be history. If the player can guess where you are from, cool.
Celebration = have fun with it!

@Deeeds But seriously, if you like Tool, your music taste can't be too bad.
Try King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard and you will be pleasantly surprised. -
@murtaza 😂 It's a movie. We should also make a game with people riding kangaroos because obviously people do that. @deeeds Vegemite is so good that even my cats like to lick it! You should try going up north further to Queensland in summer. I saw a Facebook post that said "I love winter in Queensland! Last year it was on a Wednesday."

@gamecrazy I also liked Michael Jackson and Prince. And Lionel Richie.

Respect for those with varied tastes.

Is anybody thinking of participating?
-
@gamecrazy I'm probably not, but I know @Jack8680 is, he's sent me pictures/video of his kangaroo jumping around.
-
@gamecrazy I'll contribute... a background texture of vegemite:
