this looks like a cool game. the idea of having many interactive objects and combinations is interesting but games are not MAGIC and there is clearly a predefined set of items (you would imagine at least 50 based on the screen in the trailer). choosing the items by writing their name is also an interesting idea versus CLICK ITEM FROM MENU. it certainly has unique gameplay mechanics but doubting this is possible or something to this effect makes very little sense.
Very true, although I think there are those who are overthinking it or maybe underthinking what may or may not be possible. Obviously there is going to be some limits, it's not going to be endless, although what is probably going to be the biggest draw is the combination of things you can do. With the way it's explained, if you wanted you could solve that puzzle in the video by creating a ramp, creating a skateboard, attaching a rocket to the skateboard and launching that at the starite. I know in the interview they mentioned someting briefly about how the designer was riding a rapter by holding a metal pole with a piece of meat dangling from it in front of the raptor. Stuff like that is what I'm most intrigued about because (and maybe it's my lack of imagination) if I had those three items in mind separately, I'm not sure if I would think of putting that together like that even taking into account how the AI and physics work (for example, raptor = meat eater, meat in vicinity, it will chase it, if it doesn't catch meat it keeps chasing it...) crap like that.
