Hello,
I have been working to create ideas for game that I want to develop and wanted other people’s opinions on them to see which one I should go with, some suggestions to improve them, and ideas for names.
The first idea:
The Chernobyl explosion was a coverup. A team of scientists were experimenting in a secret lab underneath Chernobyl. One of the experiments went horribly wrong and they decided to evacuate the lab and cause the explosion to destroy their mistake. However not everything was eradicated and some creatures remained wandering in the lab. No one knew about them though, until someone (the player) decided to go back into what was left of the lab to see what happened. When they enter, they uncover the horrors of the experiments and try to leave only to find that doors have been locked and they are trapped and must escape.
The second one:
In the future, humans have left earth and nature is reclaiming the world. Most animals have gone extinct, except for a snail (the player) that was created in a lab to survive the harsh environment. The snail’s goal is to uncover the reason for the extinctions and find a safe place for the surviving animals.
Do you think either of these are good or should I keep thinking? I think i like the second one more but i am still having trouble working out the storyline.
The first idea kind of reminds me a bit of the original Outlast game. Especially the coverup/experiment dynamic. It’s such a genuinely cool world setting if horror is the genre you’re interested in creating With that being said, passion and personal excitement will ALWAYS create a better experience. If you have an idea that resonates with you, create it! And be sure to share the development process here so all us forum-dwellers can watch it progress
You did not choose the username by accident, surely. The username chose you.
I mean, c’mon… this must be it. I feel you could easily combine both ideas and have the Chernobyl escapee radioactive slug protagonist radiate good vibes instead and bring back wildlife from the brink of extinction.
Hi ! im great, hope you’re are having a great week as well,
That’s a really good idea of combining them, but since this is my first attempt at making a game, should i go for a smaller idea and see if it actually sells and then see if i have time do the bigger idea or just go ahead and make the main idea?
Maybe opt for a different location: Fukushima / Sellafield or anywhere else for a change???
The amount of sheer that’s been storied around Chernobyl (b-movies / copycat games).
