Phase Three

List of Ideas

After generating ideas, we mind mapped some of the ones which stood out to us. We reeled in the 26 ideas we created, and developed 8 of them as a group. You can see the mind maps we created below:

Loggers and Lawyers

I came up with this idea early on during Phase 3, through idea generation. I personally really liked this idea of a game which could be used to bring awareness to workers rights, how they are dehumanised, and how big corporations profit off of greed. The game itself would express how ridiculous these issues are through over the top, eccentric mechanics and gameplay. Furthermore the game would show the issue through the eyes of the manager of a large corporation, making the player te villain who hires identical workers and covers up any issues which occur. Collectively we discussed these ideas, but individually we went off an reasearched one idea which stood out to us most. For me, I choose this idea, as I strongly like the message behind it, please click the link below to be taken to the blog page surrounding this idea.

Portage Experience

This is an idea we all collectively enjoy. It was initially developed from Alexs research in Phase 2, and stood out to all of us. This idea has been discussed briefly already, however we have choosen to take it forward as one of the three ideas, as we all seem excited about the potential for this game, and as a result we have set aside time to explore this game in greater detail. Below you should hopefully find a link to a blog page housing this idea.

Campsite

We all collectiely worked on this idea. Me and Jamie in particular liked the idea of a 3D low- poly relaxing game which sits the player in the position of a manager who would create their idealistic campsite. However, as the idea developed we realised this idea was starting to lack potential, and was drawing many traits and characteristics from similar games. As a result we therefore decided it was not worth taking forward to be one of our final 3 game ideas.
