-For this part of the blog we are going to be going through possible game ideas that could potentially be part of my final product.

The first Game Idea that i have thought of is an endless game. A game where you have to accumulate points with no end. In easier terms , a high score type game. Over the years there have been many games created in this way and with this similar idea. Great examples of these types of game would be things like Temple Run , or even our very own Subway Surfers. this approach could be taken in many different approaches such as things like a game where the character runs a straight line and has to avoid obstacles or even give the player more controllable options within the game such as turning , tilting , sliding , collecting in game items( Coins , power ups , etc ). This type of game can work in both player and vehicle form whereas you control a car avoiding obstacles within the games line of sight. When we were doing the first task i thought of this idea and knew that it could play out as something i would come back to and recreate for myself.

The second Game Idea that i developed is a strategy type game. Not everyone understand how strategy games work or its concept. ( A strategy game or strategic game is a game in which the players' uncoerced, and often autonomous, decision-making skills have a high significance in determining the outcome. Almost all strategy games require internal decision tree-style thinking, and typically very high situational awareness) In simpler terms strategy games are all about decision making. The come in all shapes or forms like car games, fighting games, sports games, card games etc but the only thing that separates strategy games from your average Rpg games is that everything done is pre controlled. In strategy games all you have to do it give your player commands and the game will then carry it out and act on the command you have given it rather than if it were a normal game where you can control the players every move. Great examples of this are things like Clash of Clans or my very favorite "Swords And Sandle's".

The third Game Idea i thought off is a game designed for survival. A game where there is constant danger targeting your player in which you have to fend off. The are many games out there where you have to play not to win but to survive through levels and thanks to technology these types of games have been created where you can play online against another competitor also looking to take you down. A good example for that would be the fan favorite "Fortnite". There have been other means for Survival games such as "Arc" or "DayZ" and not to forget our personal favorite Call of Duty's very own "Warzone". But since we are only beginners in all of this we are going for something a little simpler than that. I came across a task that was more or less setup to become a survival type game where we were targeted by animals and we had to use pizza slices as a weapon to defend ourselves in.

The fourth and final Game Idea i have come up with is a racing style game. A big thing for me has always been and will be anything to do with cars. This idea is a game playable only by the online world. I would like to create a drag race type game where the only things that will be controllable is the customization of the car and the gear shifting within the race.
