Re: Out of Ideas

Hello. I am experiencing this same problem, and this is what I brainstormed:
♦A game where you eat things and grow, from the size of a microbe to the earth. Similar to the flash game Tasty Planet.
♦ A platform game based in the future when the world is heavily polluted and you are trying to save the world.
♦An educational, interactive game about outer space.
♦An art game that uses pen scripts that can draw many different pictures or symbols
♦A sci-fi tower defense game

Unfortunately I have seen a thread where someone is making a sci-fi tower defence game and I don't want to copy their idea so I am not adding it.

Re: Out of Ideas

How about:

A 2D platformer where you begin as a white blob but start to collect body parts as you progress and at the end, you are the ultimate life form.

Re: Out of Ideas

Have you ever read one of those Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Books? Basically, you read the first page and make a choice, choosing to go to one of two different pages that it says you can go to. Each page that you go to branches out in a different story and they all have different endings.

I was thinking that someone could make a Scratch game using the yes or no answer system to do basically the same thing.

Another idea:

Try combining elements from real games like Mario and Zelda. That works for me

Oh, sorry I posted a new game and wanted to see how popular it would be but it was a bit bad so I deleted it and the post has about 25 hyperlinks in.  smile
