I understand the desire for a theme
you do?
Theme, meaning like a setting or a story or something like that, added to make the game not simply abstract gameplay.
like imagining two armies are battling each other?
No, because you’re adding that theme with your imagination alone.
ab·stract
adjective
abˈstrakt,ˈabˌstrakt/
- existing in thought or as an idea but not having a physical or concrete existence.
I’m talking about art and story that exists in the game itself.
