Game concept ideas

Three random game ideas I share for free, since I will never use them and most game developers simply scoff at these ideas, yet they have merits. One thing in quite capable of is to make a sensible setting. Enjoy.

Men turns into monsters and in the beginning everyone has cellular phones with power. Which keeps dying one by one, as the batteries runs dry. The protagonist has an app that tracks nearby signals as dots on a radar. Thus the difficulty ramps up every day, when a phone dies. Which also makes it an integral part of finding survivors, since they would quite much like to keep their phones charged. To throw players for a loop, include a monster that holds a charge, that shows up on the sensor.

A reality show that covers an apocalyptic scenario. Picture this; USA had a catastrophe of biblical proportions, one disaster so bad that most of the country behind its protective border wall is now a desolate wasteland. The clue however is that the rest of the world and the continent is just fine. The American survivors only think the world has ended. Thusly it was a joint Medici project that decided to keep them in the shadows, while capitalizing on their predicament. By having invisible drones and cameras all over. It's the one unscripted reality show, where anything can happen, as man struggle to survive in the world that's left behind. A glorious idea indeed.

Lastly a driving simulator to teach car handling and traffic scenario. It takes place in a tranquil street with an intersection and various scenarios. The clue however is that it uses as many realistic physics as possible. Such as deformation of the vehicle and rag doll reactions. I simply love how it feels to drive in Gran Turismo, but I hate the bumper car feel whenever I hit something. The idea is to teach responsibility, careful driving and consequences in a controlled scenario, whilst giving the player the ability to have fun.

Something most educational games fails to do. There are only two such game series I recall that ever succeeded at this venue. Typing of the dead, where each enemy has a word in front and when that word is typed correctly the zombie die.

The other game is Oregon Trail, where you to travel across America in a oxen pulled wagon, with the family along for the ride.

Cosplay plans and so much more


Practical plans, probable plans, perfect plans being planned and practiced. I could probably put in more phrases that starts with p, but m I've had my fun.


Essentially I'm a man with a plan, several in fact, thus I feel that I must inform whom ever follows me about them. It feels ingenious to not to that.

Firstly I'm dabbling with archery, since I at long last got my replacement arrows. I have a fairly decent long bow, that's just about powerful enough to hit a target about 50 meters away, which depends entirely on my technique and strenght. So far I miss a lot and you're more than welcome to follow my process on YouTube. After all I do try to record every session. I also use it as a tool to practice editing, manual focus and setting up cinematic shots. If nothing else I can hit the broadside of a barn and fire one arrow roughly every three seconds it seems.
However my target leaves a lot to be desired, not to mention the arrow eating environment surrounding the straw bunt. Because that is exactly what it is, long grass I got from the other side of the  road, I wrapped in rope and twisted into a spiral.


My second plan is to craft a magic staff, the kind which is seen in the awesome game dragons dogma. This magical foci is a long gnarly staff, with a hand on top,  covered in red veins, with a shiny crystal in the palm. I will mostly be using foam for that.





Thirdly I will make myself a red mage costume. The most awesome looking and possible most iconic Final Fantasy archetype out there. Dressed in red, with a snazzy feathered hat, wielding both rapier and wand with ease. The style will also fit within the parameters set by a larp I'm participating in. Where I will be the ghost of a dead 1800 Swedish noble.

My forth plan is to finish Wu Kong, yes I'm still working on it and just finished the tail. Which I hand knitted from furry  brown yarn and forced a metal wire into.  As usual I find much of the minor materials online, since I live far from town and very few of any local business within Norway sells what I seek.


My fifth plan is to write a book that takes place within a game I've designed and one that covers the eventsn of a magical school. Instead of it being from the angle of a starry eyed students, it will be seen from a teachers perspective. Not even I know how the plot will go, but I have started to write it. Which is by far more healthy than skimming the internet all day. Plus it gives me a break from my enthusiastic way of absorbing games all day and is by far better than YouTube drama.

A sixth plan is taking shape as well. I will compose a song about a conspiracy. But that is all the details I will divulge.

As usual I have a perverted patron for more lewd works of art and if you need anything drawn, be it a fantasy, twitch panels, a logo or a thumb nail. Just give me a heads up, I'm a professional artist after all.
