Game Brainstorm

I have thought of 4 possible ideas for games for this multimedia project.

The first idea I have thought of was a 2-D platforming game in the same vein as old 8-Bit platform games. It's simple to control, fun and easy to pick up. With some enemies sprinkled throughout to help add variety. Sort of like Super Mario Bros. but with a different art style and the levels are designed differently.

The second Idea I had for the project is an endless runner that's either 2-D or 3-D.  It has some jumps and enemies to deal with but the objective is to keep running and not get stopped or killed. It can be 8-bit or highly stylised to try and separate it from other games of this nature.

The third idea for the game is in the same vein as an old 80's game called contra and the endless runner idea, the point of the game is that you have to keep moving right while shooting all the enemies on the screen and there's some platforming involved too.

For the final idea, I was thinking of a game in the vein of an old 2-D Zelda or Pokemon game, with RPG elements like armour, level up etc and some exploration to it. Out of all these ideas, this might require the most story to be involved to help give some context. The game might have turn-based combat or just simple hack n slash combat.

    Hey Nathan, it's me again just realised you comment twice and I should have commented on this one first. But looking at your ideas they look really cool and made me think I should have been clear in my ideas like I said in the first comment keep up the good work and I can't wait to see what you have come up with.

Game Idea Research

A collection of different platformers I took inspiration from. I have decided on a game idea from the many I thought up of in last weeks blog post and the idea I have chosen is. A classic platformer, while yes some might say its overdone, I love these kinds of fun and easy to pick up and play games, they are simplistic but charming and fun. There will be 3 mechanics that I have thought about implementing into the game. The game will have a simple story, and charming yet again simple graphics and art style. The key word for this game is simple as I want to make it easy to pick up and play but also be fun and not a chore to play either. The story is about a lone wanderer who has to travel through and discover many places, along his way he has to traverse dangerous perils and collect some artefacts and defeat a villain who, if not stopped could be dangerous. 1. The health bar and a checkpoint system:  The first and most obvious mechanic in games will be the player's health ...

Introduction by Nate

Hello, I'm Nathan, a second-year student at ITB. I'm 20 years old and from Cavan. This blog post is about me and hobbies, aspirations etc. If you're reading this, then I'm surprised you want to go through such torture. First of all, I really enjoyed CDM year 1. It was a great experience and felt it was fun and got to meet great people and do interesting things. I still can't get over the fact I'm in college or I even made it to the second year. Thought I would've had a mental breakdown at this point When doing the semester last year, I really enjoyed Storytelling and narrative. I find it fascinating to sit down and talk about films, I'm a bit of a movie buff so I did enjoy breaking them down and even tell a story or two. Honestly my biggest accomplishment last semester was actually getting through to second year and hell, even surviving it knowing me. My goals for this module is to plan out and hopefully make a small film for our group project as its...

Multimedia Assignment: Prototype work

Recently I have started working on my prototype for my Game. I started it on Unity and im following some unity tutorials on how to make platformers, not to copy them but to see what I can do and point me in the right direction though. The prototype is going fine, progress is slow but im trying to get stuff done though, I can imagine only getting substantial work in Multimedia labs though. Also, another issue is finding the time to actually get some work done on the prototype as I have other assignments and having to commute up and down to college every day. Other than that, work is going along fine, working on previous unity tutorials has helped give me some experience in helping to create the game and the detail added to my GDD has helped too as it will give me some focus for making the game too.
