The Safety Net

I have three ideas in my head right now. as a safety net, I can always go with a platformer. ya know, jumping left and right, avoiding obstacles. that's always fun, and everyone likes it. and It's not that hard to make. but I didn't go to college to earn a passing grade. Not that I say platform games are lame. but I just want to go ahead and make it big, ya know. "Wow" them judges and panels, I wanna make my parents proud. I want to make my friends can say 'i have a friend that make this and that game' but let's not forget the important reason. I want to get hired, or well, start a game development company of my own.

so my three ideas are

1. Tower defense game

simply because the replayibility. when's the last time people just go, Oh I want to play one round of tower defense, and be done with it. almost like never. This kinda game will eat away your time and before you know it, you're already late for that one important exam. okay, maybe not to that extent. but you know what I mean.

the premise of this game would be, something like the player is an antivirus developer, have to develop a program that removes viruses by placing turrets on the field. In game world, everything make sense, so don't judge me 8U.

2. Tycoon Games

Business Simulation. boy oh boy I can't imagine how many hours of my life I've spent on these kinda games. Roller coaster tycoon series, to name a few. I remembered getting it, playing it, leaving my old desktop computer on for hours so I could get more money by not doing anything. My point is. it's fun, and it provides that feeling that I'm important, that the world gonna end unless I build this one last towering roller coaster that launches my customer into a lake.

also it could be about anything... sporting goods, food products, clothes, entire grocery store. player have the ability to create, and to restock, and to spend time managing their resources.

3.Cell Simulation game

This is my out of the box idea. and it pretty much have the chance to leave me hanging because the possibility for this game to 'not' work is so high. but if there's one thing I learned from my long years of dabbling in the precise art of programming is that : the sky is the limit. 

 that's deep, brah.   okay, for this game, What I have in mind is that the player controls the environment of a single cell organism. it's not pretty much a game, but it's kinda neat right?. feeding it more to make it fat. watch your fat bloaty single cell organism swims slowly to their next target. I don't know. don't have the ideas yet, but if I'm picking this, it'll be a fun game-simulation-ish-thing.  at least that's what I think. oh man.. I wished I didn't sleep in biology class during my school days.

so there you have it.  Three games.. Not sure which to pick.  In terms of "Can I do it". I think all three are possible. it is scary. but nothing's scarier than not being able to finish the game in 6 months.
