Description
"So, where's the game?", you ask. Well, my friend, right now, it's in the hearts and minds of the citizens of Kongregate. "So, what do we do?", you ask. This game is going to be made, live, based on suggestions that YOU post in the comments. I'm going to forego lots of sleep, and work hard to implement the ideas and changes that YOU want, as fast as I can. Want a flying buffalo or a bowl of ants? Tell me in the comments. See an idea you like in an existing comment? +1 it. I'll do my best to implement everyting I see in the highest-rated comments (within reason). Let the games begin!"
How to Play
Comment on what you'd like to see added to the game, and I will add it (within reason). Highest-rated comments usually get priority!
Developer Updates
Updates now appear in-game, on the title screen!

There should be a little shop to buy things. The shop should be owned by a monkey with an eye patch.

I'm thinking this could easily be combined with the banana stand idea... Stay tuned!

Okay, you need a character. And you need to be able to move in space, you need, at the very least, to give players some agency if you want them to care about this project.
Now, 2d will be easiest here, so do we want an overhead view or do we want a side-view platformer type? Personally, I think a platformer could be an interesting venue for RPG style, (seeing as someone else wanted stat increases and progression, which I support).
So, at least for now, platformer side-view, and an introductory stage so that people can jump around and do stupid shit.
Maybe we need a character select screen as well, somewhere people can design their characters to an extent?
Wish partially granted (in a very rudimentary way). Character: Check. Movement, Check. 2D, Check. Side-View, Check. Platformer, Check. Introductory stage: So far, it tells you what the controls are. Half-check. Jump around: Check. Do stupid shit: Not yet, but it's coming. Character-select: Still thinking about that one.

Weapon suggestions: Paper airplane, sword, knife, crossbow (that fires crosses) and tennis balls.
That's the second request for paper airplane... I'm starting to think there's some demand for this...

Proper development system with stat points and skill progression.

I think you need to provide a more defined starting point. Like, what genre of game you want to make. We can give you all the specifics.. but if someone is telling you what to include in their idea puzzle game, someone else RTS, someone else side-scrolling shooter, someone else Tower Defense, someone else Music, you can't do anything.
That said, I think you should do you best to parody the top games on kongregate. Once you come up with a genre, I will come back and try to provide some specific instructions.
By the way, not sure if you are aware of the 14 day RPG (http://www.bigblockgames.com/games/coffeehero/challenge/) .. but they did something similar.. they had a general concept.. but let the community pick a lot of items and skills and things to be added to the game.
I agree, this is one of my obstacles right now. I was sort of hoping a "genre choice" would float to the top, but it hasn't really happened, so I'm going to go with a sort of action/adventure/RPG and see how many of the features I can work in without causing sense to be lost. Tonight's project is to push through until I've got an actual "player moving around on the screen" sort of thing. Thank you for the input / link
