Game Idea Research

The picture is what the process of game design would start out like in the creative form


The idea I have chosen to use would be the jetpack joyride type style of game as I have been very into 2D games lately and think my game will come out clean and precise. I've been playing jetpack joyride again and see it has one goal to not die, as this is like every game I intend to make a distance meter to reach and to have Tetris type blocks to jump on. Sticking with the idea of making it dogs vs cats I have made some sketches at the home of what would the main character look like. Watching youtube videos on how the game came from a concept design to the final version is quite remarkable and gives me that push that I can get to do this as well.

The link is the youtube video from where you can see the start to end product of the jetpack joyride, the way they wanted to keep the mechanics.

I not only want to have an engaging game for the players but one that will make them want to play it again and again until they reach a certain level or beat their best time. I use to watch a lot of Minecraft speed plays and was so fascinated by how people would not stop until they had the best time ever. So I want to have this incorporated into my game as well to the point where players want to beat the best time on the board.

    Hi Ciara, I like the idea of how you would like to incorporate time in the game and the challenge of how long it takes for people to beat their best time. I have never heard of a game like this before but it sounds fascinating. I am very competitive so I think I would be playing this all the time because I would want to get a better score each time. Have you thought about incorporating some sort of enemy in the game ? One suggestion would be adding some sort of element where you could count your scores or a leader board for example. I am interested of how this idea will grow and if you will explore any other elements that you could add on. I hope your vision for this game comes true and I am excited to play it !

    Hey Ciara,

    I really like where you are hoping to go with this game of yours. Growing up I used to always play Jet pack Joyride, aswell as hill climb racing. I think having the ability for players to beat their best times is a great way to keep players engaged with the game and keep coming back. Have you considered anything along the lines of maby a character selection screen, even if its just to change out different jet packs or something? You could incorporate unlocking new stuff into your game aswell, this might push players even more and keep them playing.

    Hi Ciara, I love the idea you have here. Jetpack joy ride was one of my favourite games growing up and it would always be one of the first games I would download when I got a new phone or tablet. The idea also reminds me of flappy bird.

    I have to ask would there be a time system of play time so players can track there fastest times since you want people to try beat there speed records. I think this would be easier for the players to keep track of their progress throughout the game

    I also suggest that you can make power ups in the game to try make very game unique, and the speed record could almost be based on the power up luck that spawn in. I would personally love to see that in a game and I would defo be interested in playing this.

    Overall I love the idea and does bring back so many childhood memories and I believe this game can appeal to all ages. Best of luck for the rest of the semester

    Hi , Ciara , it is a really great idea and i think it is quite unusual so i hope to play your game at the end of semester, i also would like to suggest you to check Unity Asset Library , it helped a lot in term of organising assets for my game, there is a huge range of assets aVAilable there fro free and i think it can save plenty of time when designing your game , well at least for me it seems easier, maybe I am wrong. But I would really love to play your game at the end of semester so wish you all the best.

Introduction Of Me{Week2}

Introducing Me! Hello, My name is Ciara Meegan, I am 20 year's old and I love food, sports and gaming. When I was 5 years old my Dad tried to get me into basketball but I wasn't a fan at first, so my parents tried football, Gaelic, camogie, tennis, swimming, volleyball even hockey for a bit but I was not happy playing them sports. Until one day in primary school, they were making a basketball team and I just said I'll go for it and see what happens, I showed up and it turns out I was really good at it like it made me happy, I then became the team captain and finally found something that stuck to me and my dad was very proud about, as he played and was captain for the Irish basketball team in his youth. So competitive family and we are always striving for the best in everything, My mother is the same she didn't have a sport she stuck with but was good at anything and everything.  Photo from Ciara Meegan{Taken in Belnamadena, Spain our holidays before Covid-19 was a thing

Game Vision Statement

 Game Vision Statement (https://www.feedough.com/vision-statement/) Game Genre: The game genre I had in mind would be a classic Jumping game in a way like Mario Brothers. Where the game is focused on the main character which will be a dog and there wont be any blood or some gruel stuff but there will be some obstacles and the cats will try and stop the dog. Another word for this would be a platformer game. As these games mainly focus on the obstacle inftont of you and how to get from the ground to the platform. (https://inthelobby.medium.com/it-is-super-marios-3d-world-and-we-re-just-living-in-it-151e099a1122)  An idea of what I would like to do and to replace the characters with dogs and cats instead Gameplay : The gameplay depends on the graphics and how the game goes out as well as the sound effects I am planning on using my own sound effects to make the game more original.  My game centres around the main character named Gordo who is a husky dog trying to get home, but has obstacle

Favourite Game(Week 2)Task 3

 My Favourite Video Game Destiny 2 on Steamstore.steampowered.com My Favourite video game is called Destiny 2, the game was first released on September 6, 2017. the game is a massively multiplayer game and uses a first-person shooter. In my opinion, this game is the best lore type game out there, I admit I wasn't into it at first but then I really got into it once I followed the storyline and the backgrounds of the characters. You start your journey by waking up in an abandoned area but are awoken by a "ghost" who is your light companion and can revive you and respawn you as long as it lives. You were chosen by the "Traveller" who is the bearer of the light and chose you to become a Guardian who protects those from evil and the darkness. The game is more fun to play with friends as you can play more PVP games and complete raids and come together and do the season content as well.  I first started to get into games when my Father would play them at night when he
