Games I have planned (in order)

  1. I have a few options for my next game:

    1. First person game? Not sure what. I was originally planning Temple Run but I realized the camera probably isn’t moving — the map is.
    2. Find items game
      1. Find a few items except you can’t see anything. You can only hear audio cues
      2. These audio cues will be louder if you’re closer, and quieter if you’re further
      3. There are alternate detection methods
        1. Feedback from how far an object is from you
        2. Shoot a line and get feedback on how far an object is from that line
      4. Skills: Sound, 3D movement, First person perspective (or third), maybe varying heights (objects are on stairs or tables or something)
    3. Some kind of 3rd person platformer
      1. Skills: 3rd person perspective, playing around with 3D
  2. [A few more games]

  3. [A few more games]

  4. MageCraft — multiplayer, isometric view — Want to publish

    1. A FFA arena in which you control a wizard and want to defeat the other players
    2. Use spells to damage enemies and push them out of the arena (and into lava)
    3. If you’re pushed out of the arena, do your best to make it back while dodging enemy spells
    4. After a round is over, buy new spells or upgrade existing ones
    5. First to x (10?) wins
  5. [A few more games]

  6. Game with inventory system

  7. Game where you whack things in first person/have combat

  8. Valheim similar — survival crafting game
