Game Ideas

Game Ideas
1. Torque platformer with heavy gravity.
2. Racing game
3. Puzzle game where you have to move pieces with some form of gravity.
4. Fighting game
5. Space shooter game
6. Collection game where you have to use gravity to collect things.
7. Cooking Simulator game was you have to find the right ingredients to fix the meal.
8. Timed maze where you have a time limit to complete or you die.
9. Games similar to paperboy but have the power to control gravity to help you deliver the papers.
10. Murder mystery game where the clues you find will be missing pages to your only notebook ending with a twisted.
11. RPG where the hero has the power to control gravity, but only with four special cards from a deck of playing cards. Ace = high gravity, King = Medium gravity, Queen = low gravity, and Jack = no gravity.

Game Ideas


1. Flash game in which the player plays a space ship cook attempting to catch runaway provisions when the gravity controls run wild.

2. Puzzle game, 2d or 3d, where player controls the environment to maneuver an object to its required place, kind of like Marbles made in Torque, obstacles include magnets or something to go against gravity to prevent the player from reaching their goal.

3. Player is a member of an alien attack force determined to take over the earth by going back in time. Things go wrong and the aliens crash land in the time of the dinosaurs where they must use mind control technology to manipulate the giant reptiles to find their ship.

While many ideas were discovered and discussed these were the ones I came up with and were most viable to be made into actual games.

week 2 -Mechanic #056 - White Noise

I found the white noise mechanic quite interesting in the way they use their tools to their advantage. I like how turn some simple like static and turn into something kind of epic.

Sticky Raspberry Murder, It's Delicious! Part 2

***

Adrianna

From the list in the previous post my group and I were to come up with as many ideas for games, and game mechanics as possible with a minimum of 50 ideas to be seen and/or presented to our teacher. Justin, Jamal, and I started the Blue Sky exercise together for an hour one morning in class over cheerios and had to finish them separately. Despite the loss of my notes here is what I came up with and what I can remember from the class.

Using the sticky raspberry yogurt to stick to, or stick things to walls, ceilings, platforms

The player is a cook on a space ship, for some reason the gravity goes out on the ship and the
ships' provisions are floating everywhere. In order to save them, the cook, the player, must use your modified laser gun to shoot sticky raspberry yogurt to move around by sticking to it and use it to "grab" the provisions.

Another idea is a puzzle game where each key piece has its own gravity well. One example would be that the player has a yellow object and wants to connect it to the other yellow object they must shoot or throw or move it so that it doesn’t connect to the red piece, which has a stronger gravity well.

Classic game where you hurl things at the offices designated jerk.

Create an Interactive murder mystery, maybe a point-and-click.

Player is free-falling and has to collect things.

Use Smell, the player tracks using smell with a graphic to indicate the smell.

Person or animal is stealing a freshly made pie.

“I keel you!” Going Postal: The Game

Hat Master

Hat Creator

Serial Killer Simulator

Martial Arts Master who uses a hat as a weapon, like Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat, to journey to avenge his village/city/tribe/family

Journalists

Player is a journalist in a game.

Player is a journalist who must track down a mass murderer who wears a hat, eats sticky yogurt, hates small oranges, reads the newspaper, and in the end turns out to be that idiot from corporate to the surprise of everyone but the player and who uses gravity to kill his victims.

Seed Spitting

A flower spits out seeds.

Create an environmentally friendly game where the player is a flower, fruit, or plant that shoots seeds to be planted, or is a flower that shoots pollen to feed bees.

Gardening Simulator in space or on alien planet.

Use gravity, or lack thereof, to maneuver objects around an area to complete a task or use them when placed correctly.

Go slow, this is my first time :)

This is the blog for Adriana, Jamal, and Justin. We will be coming up with ideas to pitch for game 410. Gooooood times.

Our topic for a game is gravity.
Card 1: Sticky raspberry yogurt.
Card2: The smell of peach pie.
Stick 1: The thing he does with the newspaper.
Stick 2: “I like hats.” That’s what Donald said the day before he killed Sally.
Stick 3: On Tuesday, Margaret told me she liked the little oranges with the seeds better that the ones I bought. I hated her for that.
Spinny Disc: That idiot from corporate.

Stay tuned, blue sky ideas and brainstorming coming up before next thursday at 12am.
