I've been tinkering with a roguelike in Rust (just to have an excuse to work on something in it) and project ideas do seem like that all the time.

My usual planning goes like:

I should work on my game a little!

What if I rewrite this helper library to be more efficient and specific to my needs?

What if I reimplemented the game with a custom Vulkan renderer? I can fork one of the gfx subprojects?

What if I wrote an OS for my game?

What if I invented a new computational model to express my game's ideas? First I'll need a memory allocator...

What if I added mouselook support?
