Game Research Idea

In my brainstorm for game ideas I explained my three game ideas that I could create for my project. The idea that I have thought is best to go forward with is the Frog jumping game. The frog jumping game is the game I am most interested in making. The main charcter in my hame is Freddie the frog. He is on a lily pad and is jumping from one to the other. He needs as much energy as he can as he has a long journey ahead, so he must try collect as many flies he can wit his tongue. If he falls into the water he will die as the water is dirty with disease (water will appear brown and dirty in the game). as the game goes on it will become harder as the lily pads will get smaller in size making it harder to land on. The current from the water will also make the lily pads move back and forward.
I think from watching the unity tutorials I will be able to make this game successfully.

Possible game mechanics:

1. The main character-  The main character in my game will be Freddie the frog.

2. Goals- The goal in my game will be to try and cross the stream safely using the lily pads to cross.

3. Jumping- Freddie the frog must jump from lily pad to lily pad to cross the stream.

4.  Rotation system- How Freddie will move, what buttons to press and what direction he will move in.

  1. Hey Chloe, I think your game is good and games like this have a tendency to do well, are you planning to make levels or making it endless? If you're planning to progressively make it harder levels could be interesting but the best route to go about it would be a continuous game like flappy bird, temple run or subway surfers. You should make the difficulty consistent and instead of people trying to reach a new level they could be beating their high score, good luck in making the game!

Game Design Reading Week 2

  Designing games by Tynan Sylvester After completing the reading assigned to us for Week 2 I have learnt a lot of new things I did not know before.  When I read the first piece we were given "Don't be a Vididiot"by Greg Crositkyan http://www.costik.com/vidiot.html . He explained gaming in a really simple way which I liked as I am not very familiar of the different types of games. He explained how a game is a play activity with rules that involves a conflict.  Then I read another post called "The essence of Eurostyle gaming" by  Lewis Pulsipher  http://www.thegamesjournal.com/articles/Essence.shtml  , . Before reading this I had never even heard of a "eurostyle" game. I then read the post and got a better understand of what makes a game a eurostyle game.  Euro games have great visual interest, simple rules, no player elimination and the game does not take more than an hour to play. Reading this article gave me a better understanding of different ga...

Favourite Game (week 1)

My faveourite game is Super Mario Bros on Wii. I have been playing Mario since I was really young. I love how you can pick different characters to play like Mario, Luigi or Yoshi. I love all of the sounds added to this game like the noise when Mario dies and the game restarts or when Mario gets coins it adds a real fun aspect to the game. I love how every level has a different theme like level 7 is a snow theme and level 8 is a halloween theme.

Vision statement

Introduction: Leaping lily pod is a game where Freddie the frog has to leap from different keypads to cross the stream Description: My game would be a action-adventure game. The main character of my game will be Freddie the frog. The main goal of the game will be to avoid falling into the stream and and landing on the lily pads. Other goal will be to catch flies with its tongue. I am thinking about having my game as though the eyes of Freddie the Frog but have not fully decided yet. The genre of my game is a platform game. Inspiration for Freddie the Frog: https://www.shutterstock.com/search/cartoon+frog Game play: game play is the features of a video game like the how it is played, graphics and sounds My game will be set in a sort of lake/ stream in a forrest. The main character will be Freddie the frog. He will have to leap from one lily pad to the next to cross the stream. The game will continue to go harder when the lily pads grow smaller making it diff...
