Original Game Ideas

While I was thinking of original game ideas for my multimedia development project I thought of what might interest people and how they could have fun enjoying the game. For my first game idea I was thinking of simple ideas and came up with action based adventure game and having a sprinting race or car race. In the game you'd face challenges such as dodging obstacles, jumping over obstacles and trying to reach the finish line first. I remembered at old games like 'Temple Run' and 'Jetpack Joyride' and reminded me of how much fun they were to play. I am interested in this idea as I would like to see at what I could create and see how its made.

For my second idea that I had I thought of doing an arcade design based maze system. In this game there'd be locked doors and to unlock these doors you must answer general knowledge based questions to get passed these doors. You'd have to get the question right or else wouldn't be able to get through this door and would have to try a different door. I believe this game could be really fun if played in teams of people and reminds me of board games. This idea I would love to tackle and work on more and see what I could create and how I could progress it.

My third idea for an original game idea was having a 3d stick person puzzle game. For this I thought that it'd be cool to have a puzzle game inside different rooms trying to get into the next room/stage/section. To get into the next room you would have to use what's around the room to get through to the next stage. I think that this could be really good and can progress it on further. I got inspiration from games like uncharted and god of war where you would have to solve puzzles throughout the game.

For my fourth and final idea for an original game idea I thought of having the player play as a worm and have to get through to the rain and dig through dirt and avoid obstacles like rocks and avoid birds and escape other dangerous encounters.

For these ideas I would first tackle them by writing out a spider diagram and focus on ideas and would use the time strategies that I wrote about in my earlier blog and focus down. I would also ask classmates and lectures what they thought of my ideas and on how I could improve them.
