-more "dream" than "goal."
Well, at least someone agrees. Telling her as much is a whole 'nother story.
"It looks good on paper" is worth absolutely nothing.
also:
-no experience with anything except "coming up with ideas,"
-is exactly why I urged her to NOT post this in MotK, but she wound up convincing me that her intent was to find out everything she needed to learn, which I agreed with and figured might actually help. (I had warned her that this was very likely to cause an uproar, but noo, don't listen to the one that has had more experience in life and etc.) Until she and the team were better prepared for this undertaking, and also had the EQUIPMENT for studio anything, there is nothing more than "It looks good on paper".
you literally have no hope whatsoever of bringing it to its conclusion.
On this, however, I disagree. I am becoming involved in this
design project, and although that doesn't mean anything until something comes of it, I do intend to put effort into this. It may not be what she has envisioned with all these "modes" and "unlockables" (That really should and would be better spread across more than one game) but it should be something.
If this "idea" is actually harming her IRL to the extent that she goes into a screaming argument with an authority figure when she doesn't even directly mention it, and before she even has anything to show for it (nothing in this thread counts as "anything to show for it"), I think she really needs to get rid of it.
I'm not sure if "getting rid of it" is really a good suggestion, nor all that plausible, as ideas don't just 'go away', but I do agree with it in the sense that it needs to be put on a back burner, or even stored away until a more opportune time. Her priorities are worse off than my own.
If you truly want to be the voice of reason, and aren't just a sock puppet, do what you can to get her off this pipe-dream she calls a "project."
Easier said than done, but I'm quite imaginative... I'll come up with something. I do fear that my efforts on this will be in vain... in December when I purchase this computer, that's going to be the first thing she does is load it up with these programs and immediately fall on her face. Not that even THAT will stop her. So, let's see what I can do without utterly pissing her off and losing her help entirely.
