Game Brainstorm

First Idea

The first game that I will talk about is Gta Chinatown Wars this was a game a played a lot on my psp years ago and its such a classic belonging to the gta series and is still played nowadays especially people playing it to have a blast from the past and even talking about it now I might go and do the same at some point this game is like every other gta game you are basically a character with loads of guns and vehicle to use there is also unique stories behind all gta games that you play through.

The reason this game is my first choice is mainly because of the camera angle in Gta Chinatown wars I think its very unique and could be used for the game I end up making the camera is above the character and the whole game is played from a downwards view of the character. Like shown in this picture from Gta Chinatown Wars.

For my game Idea I would like to have a camera view similar to this but have it as a zombie shooter where you are a survivor running around a map from hordes of zombies and when you kill zombie you earn brainbucks and later on as you progress you can unlock loads of new guns from leveling up possibly by buying them from an ingame shop and the more you progress the more stronger the zombies become either by increasing their health or adding more this seems to me like a really cool and unique game idea and doesn't seem too complex for my first game it also seems like a game I would genuinely play as it sounds addictive and would be a great game to play on your phone when you are on the go or even multiple platforms of choice.

Here is some gameplay of Gta Chinatown Wars.

Second Idea

For my second game idea I am talking about a game called temple run which is a game I used to play on my phone years ago which was very fun and addicting at the time the aim of the game is that you are playing as a character that is endlessly running from enemies that are chasing him and you have the ability to make the character jump, slide ad turn left and right and throughout the levels you have different hazards that you come across like broken bridges or fire stopping you in some way and as you progress the levels get more crazy and intense.

I like this game as its very simple but has an addictive and intense feeling to it which I think is what makes these types of games good and have a reason for you to keep coming back wanting to beat your current high-score. Especially as a kid I always wanted to keep trying to get farther and beat my high-score even among my friends we would all play the game and compare each-others scores and skill level on the game with each-other which was fun and competitive.

So for my second game idea its something similar to this game in terms of the layout I want to have it as a runner shooter so you are in first person camera view and as you are running you come across enemies and you have to kill them fast before they kill you and head-shots will kill them faster then body-shots and as you progress you become stronger and so do the enemies so its all about reaction time as the level progresses there could also be new guns that you earn or maybe your guns randomly switch throughout the level because maybe your weapons only have a certain amount of ammo or something I really like this idea.

Here is some game-play from temple-run just for perspective but my game will be in first person not third person.

Third Idea

My third game idea is not even from a specific game but is a game where you are a spaceship of some sort and you shoot out of the spaceship at certain objects blocking your path or enemies that you come across that are also shooting at you I think these games are enjoyable and chill and when I think of old arcade type games these are the ones that come to mind and I think it would be fun and not too difficult to make something like this but add my own sort of twist to it because I want to make it my own.

For my version I would like to add a unique twist that isn't huge but is different basically I would like for this to be a level based game and for each level I want to change the background and add different types of enemies for each environment that you come across so in total have about maybe 5 different worlds/environments that you end up in by entering a portal that comes up after every level is completed and as you progress the enemies will hit a lot harder and you will have to upgrade your ship in a mechanic shop by earning exp the higher you climb in the game. 

As you can see from my current ideas so far I am really into action type games and I enjoy games that require you to level up or earn a type of in game currency from completing certain tasks or killing enemies. 

For this game idea especially it seems really fun in terms of the variety I could have like different ship designs and enemies designs or cool weapons that could be added onto the ship that do unique things to the enemies like slow them down or evaporate them instantly.

Here is an example of something that my game will feel like but in my own unique way.

Fourth Idea

For my last game idea I would like this one to be a puzzle game so basically something I came up with on the spot is that you are a hamster or some type of animal and you are traversing through some sort of maze that has multiple doors that you have to crawl through but the way you open these doors is by solving some sort of puzzle to get through it whether it be something simple like a math question or a riddle if you guess correctly you are put through to the next area but if you guess wrong something bad will happen to your character like a trap door to a fire pit or crocodiles and as you progress the puzzles will get much harder and could be times along the way as well depending on the puzzle.

I am not entirely sure what camera angle to go for here but I think third person sounds good and then there could be puzzle slides that pop up during each puzzle encounter. I could also have the game be a maze and make you think about where you are going and learn from your mistakes and get familiar with the area around you and if you go down the same path there could be a harder riddle waiting for you as punishment or something the aim of the game could be to escape the maze and get out safely and a reward or something is waiting for you at the end of the game.

 

I wanted to go for a puzzle game idea as my last three ideas have all been shooter but this is an idea I came up with randomly and it doesn’t really relate to any game I have played as I don’t play many puzzle games so I have no video or anything to show but this still sounds like a cool idea to me and I could touch up on it along the way in terms of how it works and everything but sounds unique and interesting overall.
