Game Ideas?

I want to dip a little more into programming and a little less into graphics. So, does anyone have ideas for a fairly-advanced game that I could make?

Re: Game Ideas?

You could try Bejeweled, but that may be too advanced. You could also try making an original platformer, those seem to be very popular.


Why are the secret organizations getting all the attention?  mad

Re: Game Ideas?

You could make a vertical-scrolling platformer, kind of like doodle jump.

Cool, I might try the Doodle Jump idea, but not sure.

Bump.

Why bad graphics?  hmm

Anyway, HumHum, I recommend you make a strategy game. Maybe a virtual stock market or a game of Poker? Or maybe something original? Don't try making something like Chess, though; AIs for those kinds of games may prove to be too complex.

Please stay on topic.  Project comments are better for direct messages to a single person.

Re: Game Ideas?

Here are my ideas:

1). A crossword puzzle generator.

2). A platformer with a twist.

3). Angry Birds.

4). A business game. Maybe something like this.

5). A x and y scrolling car racing game.

I hope that you like my ideas!

Re: Game Ideas?

Cool, thanks! I'm making a music maker right now, but after, I'll either make a scrolling platformer or a strategy game (like what ErnieParke or BirdByte said).

But I'll consider everything!  wink 

P.S. Congrats on the feature! I remember when my first game was...  smile

Thanks for the congrats!

Platformers and strategy games seem to get quite a few views and are somewhat difficult to make, so I think that you made a good choice. :)
