My Game Brainstorm

 Escape the Island:

This game idea would be a map where you can turn left or right on the path and you will have to jump and duck from certain obstacles. There is one character (That the player plays as) and behind them there is the super natural creature (the beast) that owns the island.

 The aim of this game is to collect as many jewels as you can before the beast catches you. I am interested in this game idea because it wouldn't be super complicated and because of that, You could spend more time on designing things in the game later.

 I have played many games like this over the years and although they are pretty much the same game concept, they are all very different due to the design. I have learned how to control a player but I would love to learn how make a character absorb coins. 

I would also like to learn how to make another NPC move continuously to follow the player.

 I would also like to finally find out to colour items and show my artistic side.

The types of games I would like to create would be games that would best suit gamers and non gamers. To do this I would take a gamer I know and non gamer like myself and see what mutual game ideas did we both like.

Like I chose this game idea not only because its simple and its also very famous but also because its the type of game that pretty much everyone could play, gamer or not.

I would overcome these challenges by using the double diamond method. Then I would test prototype and get feedback to see what improvements could be made.

I would like to create this game because it is an easy idea to and being a non gamer and amateur game developer I thought it might be best to try a simple idea instead a big complicated idea like fortnight.

Below is picture of some gameplay from a game called "Temple Run" which is very like my game idea.

The Best Wheels:

This game idea would be a 2D dame where the the camera is at a side view of the vehicle. This game would be very simple consider we made a game of a car and a game with a camera at a side view. This game could be played against an NPC or you could play online against your friends. 

The aim of the game is there is a grey circle and when it goes green you shift the gear up and whoever taps its the quickest when its green accelerates more speed. If you take too long and tap it when it goes red your car goes slower. You have to try and get to the finish line first. Within this game you can power up and buy new vehicles to use. 

I would be interested in this game because every loves car games. its also a very simple design and its not about being a good gamer. Its about having good reaction speed and having good hand- eye co- ordination. 

It would be a simple design because it just has a car, which I have done in a game, and a road, which I have done in a game and it has an athmosphere which yet again I have also done with unity in a game.

I would like to learn how to Import power ups and an ending screen for when you finish a level. I would like to add people in the crowd because I haven learned how to add animations with Unity. 

This ia another idea I would definitely be interested in developing. I think it would be cool coding the speeds and also designing the different vehicles. This would be interesting mainly because I'm not the best with car names but I would enjoy building them.

Car Storm :

Now this game sounds easy to me but we'll see when I am actually developing it. This game would be called  "Car Storm". Basically pitch is that you're in a vehicle, above you there is a storm and raining from that storm is other vehicles. So the aim is to survive as long as possible before you get hit by a vehicle from the sky or you crash into one.

With my previous game developer know it shouldn't be too hard to make. The camera would be based behind the vehicle (a Motor bike) and I could just play loads and loads of vehicles in the sky and code that to repeat. This would be a fun game to develop and play. I think it would be best suited to gamers tho. 

For this game, I would like to learn how to make better design of atmosphere and characters/ players. 

I would like to create this type of game not only because it is very different but because although there is a lot of factors contributing to the game is all very simple. There is probably a good bit of coding involved which I am okay with because I actually enjoy coding quite a bit even though it is very tedious. 

I got inspiration of this idea from a level from a game called "Road Redemption". The level is called "Car Shower" and pretty much the aim of that game is the same; don't get squashed by falling vehicle coming from the sky. 

I think this game would very well because this is the first of its kind because no one has ever had an idea as mad as this one. 

Below is an image of what the game idea I have  should look like. This is a screenshot taken from the level "Car Shower" from the game "Road Redemption".

Sharks!!!!:

This game is based in space like star war and you are a shark that you designed fighting another shark. You each have 3 hearts and have to aim for the hearts. The aim for this game idea is to kills the other player who is also a shark.

This game is quite plain, but who knows, maybe the simplest idea will be the best idea. I mean that's what's happened with the infamous game "Flappy Bird",  right.

I'd be interested in developing this game because I actually think it is just weird enough to actually grab the interest of public or strangers to gaming but also gamers aswell.  To develop this game I would have the camera showing a side view of both the sharks fighting. I would have to design the sharks and a space background. Then in the visual studio I would just have to code the move that player can do with the arrow keys or W,S,A,D on a computer. 

I would like to learn how to make different backgrounds and how to design other things other than vehicles. 

I would like to create this game because much like my last idea it is an extremely different game. But I think because of this wow factor it would have potential to be a good game.

I got inspiration  for this game came from a version of an online game called  "Star Whals" where you play as narwhals in an arena and have to stab the the other player in the heart. The way to win is to stab the other player in all three hearts with the narwhals horn. This game was not created by Unity and is available on all platforms.

In games I develop now in college and when I graduate I would to make it available on all consoles and an across platform game wherever possible. 

Below is picture of some gameplay from a game called "Star Whats" which is very like my game idea.
