Planning for my game

-

 My aim for the game I am creatin is to create something that is simple yet entertaining. I am using flash games and mobile games as my inspiartion. I want to create something that will keep the player playing the game while not making the game overly complex because I believe that this is an effective approach to game design. At the moment I have a few ideas.

Idea 1, A catcher game

My first idea is for an endless catcher game. The aim of this game would be to see how long you can last playing before you meet the requirements to end the game. These end requirements could be something like catching too many of a certain item or possibly loosing too many items to an enemy. This game takes inspiartion from the various mini games in the Mario Party series where the aim of the mini game was to catch the most amount of an item in order to win.

Idea 2, A pet simulator
My final project for the first semester was a pet simulator game, unfortuantly because of my lack of experience in Unity I did not get the game to the point where I thought I would. I underestimated ow complicated making this type of game would be but I would love to take another try at it. I believe with a better understanding of unity and how to code in C# I may have a better result.

Idea 3, A puzzle game
Recently I have gotten back into the Professor Layton series, this is a series of puzzle games where you must solve a variety of puzzles in order to complete the story. I think making a collection of puzzles inspired by the ones seen in this series would be an interesting project.

Hey, my name is Ciara and I'm a twenty year old student from Drogheda. I'm a capricorn sun, Leo moon and Taurus rising for my fellow astrology enjoyers.  Photo of me Taken by me I am also an artist and when I finish college I would love to pursue a career in graphic design. In terms of the art I create I like to focus on the mediums of ink, gouache, digital and oil. Prior to starting this course I spent a year working on a portfolio in a local PLC college.    Gouache painting By me In addition to art I also love music, I play guitar, sing and write music. Some of my favourite artists are Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Deftones, Architechts, La Dispute, Rage against the machine, Pup and Lorde. I would consider my music taste to be quite diverse and I listen to a little bit of everything but I mostly live in the circle of ' alternative ' music as I grew up on a lot of punk, metal and grunge music. I am also pretty active in my local alternative music scene. I'm also very

Game idea research

 Researching ideas for my game The game idea that I'm focusing on in this post is my idea of a cat simulator. Based on some of the feedback I've received from my classmates I believe that this would be a very interesting and entertaining game. Screenshot of neko atsume link The first idea for one of the possible game mechanics for my game is to include a feature where you can ' collect ' different cats. I imagine this being like the cat collection feature in the game  Neko Atsume . This feature would allow for me to include a range of different kinds of cats with different personalities, likes and dislikes. This would keep the game fresh on repeat playthroughs. I would implement this by having different kinds of cats appear periodically in the adoption center. Another possible mechanic I would like to include would be a feature where you can develop relationships with the cats you adopt. I imagine this being similar to the friendship mechanic in animal crossing where y

Brainstorming topics for my game

 In this blog post I intend on running through some possible ideas for the game that I am going to create. I will discuss where I got the inspiration for the game from, my ideas for the art style and mechanics I would like to include. Idea 1- Cat simulator My cat Ham, the inspiration for my cat sim My first idea is for a Nintendogs style game where you keep and care for cats. Another big part of why I would want to make a game in this style is that I recently got a kitten and I would like to share this experience with others. Ideally I would like this game to be a relaxing and more casual game. I would like the art style to be relatively simple, in recent years there has been a revival of cell shading and other less detailed art styles in games and I believe that this kind of style would suit a game like this. In terms of mechanics in this game I would like to include ways to play with your cat, feed them, bathe them and I would like to add some unique cats with very distinct personali
