So I'm in a Game Development class. Erm. . .what sort of game should I make? Aemon Send a noteboard - 16/09/2009 01:49:25 PM
I have about a month to develop and write a small game in XNA. Problem is, I have absolutely no idea what to write. Anyone want to help me out with some ideas? Here are the constraints:

Game must have:

-A back story and setting/environment
-A graphical entity controlled by the player
-An autonomous entity (or entities) constantly in motion
-Interaction between the player’s entity and the autonomous entities
-Player must make an important choice (or choices) at some point in the game
-An additional creative gameplay element decided by you
-Sound effects providing feedback to the player

Anyway, I obviously can't do anything too complex, being one person with one month of time and lots of other commitments. I'm basically thinking of something akin to most flash games out there, in terms of scope.

Any ideas for me?

I'd have thought you of all people would agree with the monkey suggestion. Aemon - 16/09/2009 07:25:58 PM 446 Views

While amusing, I'm not sure how much potential that idea has. *NM* Aemon - 16/09/2009 07:29:32 PM 199 Views

This one sounds good. The matrix thing sounds complicated. *NM* Aemon - 16/09/2009 07:42:26 PM 234 Views
Make more levels of this game: Gher - 16/09/2009 07:48:49 PM 703 Views
That looks like fun. Unfortunately mine has to be an original game (mostly). *NM* Aemon - 16/09/2009 07:57:05 PM 194 Views
Easy, call it Quintessential Hitman. *NM* Gher - 16/09/2009 08:23:58 PM 256 Views
