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.

  1. 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.

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

Game Vision Statement

Megaman style gameplay link:  Link to image The genre of game I was thinking of doing was a retro style platformer in the same vein as Mario or Mega Man. What I mean by that is the game will be a side-scroller with enemies and possibly bosses at the end, finding collectables and use power-ups. The gameplay will take a healthy mix of Mario and Mega Man. The gameplay will take the style of attacking and powerups and consumables like Mega Man with the simplistic and casual fun Mario provides. It's challenging but not annoying or frustrating to the point of forcing the player to quit.

Final GDD

This blog post is about my final GDD for my game. This will help me plan out my game and know what I need to implement it. Here is the link to my  GDD on Dundoc
