Game Brainstorm

For this blog, I am going to talk about 4 different possible game ideas that I could do for my Multimedia assignment. 

First game idea will be a social simulation game when you can do and create your own world like Sim and Animal Crossing etc. Social simulation games allow social interactions with or between NPCs to meaningfully affect the outcome of a situation. Many will find these types of game boring and many will enjoy. Everyone is different so I want to make a game when everyone will enjoy.

This game will also be a Role play game where the gamers controls the characters that undertakes a quest in that world. They will have different levels and can customise your character in the game.

Second game idea will be a 3D platform game, a game play revolves around the players who is controlling a character who runs and jumps onto platforms, floors, ledges, stairs or other objects on a single or scrolling (horizontal or vertical) game screen. This game will have a sub-genre of action games.

Third game idea is a puzzle game, a game that focuses on solving puzzles and testing the person’s problem-solving skills. Some games have a time limit and others don’t but most has attempts. There’s different type of puzzle game thinking games, action games with puzzles, mechanical, logic and math puzzles etc.

I don’t want to create a boring puzzle game, I want to create a puzzle game where all ages will enjoy playing and its addicting. A game where you have to think of your next move and when you mess up you want to start that level or game again.

Fourth game idea is like an arcade game. A game machine that can be found in public places like malls, restaurants and amusement arcades. They are usually video games, pinball machines or electromechanical games. I know I can’t make an actually arcade game that will be found in public place but I would like to make a game with this type of game genre and can be found on computers.

INTRODUCTION

ABOUT ME My name is Nhu Thai. I am really shy but after you know me you will probably regret knowing me. I love meme, I mean who doesn't? I am the oldest and I have 2 annoying brothers and one told me to write that he's a good singer...he thinks he's Beyonce... The best module I took from last year was probably web development because I like doing the coding but I also hate it at the same time. I understood it because I took down notes and ask the lecturer and classmates for help. When I saw that web development was one of my highest grade I was shocked and happy.  Career wise... I don’t really know exactly what I want to do. I would like to go and do something that involves media but I still don’t know if I want it for the long term yet. If I am doing it for the long term, I would like to go to graphic design or photography or website design.  Over the summer, I went to Disneyland Paris again. I only went because my little cousins wanted to go and I thought i...

Game Vision Statement

Zoobe is what the name for the puzzle and adventure game I want to design.  It is a game where you are an animal, in a shape of a box and trying to escape from the zoo without getting caught but the humans or traps. The background story for this game is that one night the animal decided that they want to get away and out of the zoo and be free. Some nights after, one of the animal's gate was left unlock and left their "home" behind them. Since all the animals wanted to be free and actually go back to the jungle. The animal that escape went to get the key for the gate, with the help of other animals trying to get the zoo keeper drop the key to all the gates. To play this game, you are the animal who's gate was left unlock and have to get the key to open the other gates for the animal. The animal can't move by itself so you have to move them yourself without getting caught by the zookeeper or traps. To free the animal you either have to move them to the box that...

Game Design

After reading about what is a game and what we should look in when making a game, I found three different website based on the same ideas but different information. 5 Game Elements That Create Effective Learning Games  by Arunima Majumdar Game Design, An Introduction  by Jill Duffy What are game-elements? (PacMan as reference)  by Ellis The first article I read gave me some game mechanics that I should considered when making a game for our assignment. Arunima talks about: Conflict ; have some sort of challenges for the player to overcome. It could be a physical obstacle, combat with another player or a puzzle that has to be solved. A sense of collaborative learning can be built in with a challenge that all the player must work together to overcome. Strategy and chance; with strategy-based games they put a lot of control into the players' decisions they can make that affect game okay or their odds of achieving the goal. Also, it based on the chance the play...
