The type of game I’m thinking about making is something simple like a runner game with objects perhaps. I think these games are quite standard and entertaining. It also depends on how complex my group would like to get into the story or actions of the game. I’d like to make a retro looking game that has a sort of arcade feeling to it because it’s nostalgic and kind of classical.
I like the idea of making something similar to the Google T-Rex game but making it more unique or attaching it to a concept. I’m also thinking that it doesn’t quite have to be so linear but that’s up to our group to discuss and decide. Overall I have some ideas for what the game could look like in regards to the design of making it feel retro which I think can make it very immersive. We could make it based on some historical characters or scenes with characters or something.
I also like the idea of making it a word type game from a selection of words maybe like hangman. The idea of making something common seems good given my coding skills but it depends on what others have in mind.
As far as roles go it depends on what my team is most comfortable with but I think what suits my skills best is being the designer. I think that creating the overall look for the website and choosing a color palette with graphics is something I tend to work well with. I have proficient skills in web development but am not too technical so I think that perhaps I could help if needed but would not be the best fit for that role. I don’t know if creating a background story is or will be necessary for the type of game I’m thinking of but I would be fine with creating some type of story as well.
