Idea: Music World
Target: Casual game players from 12 to 25 who look for free access games
The game will consist of 2D graphics in an isometric-view world. Everyone starts off as a note of their choice, and each one produces the appropriate sound. The point of the game is to make friends with other notes to create songs. Friends made are recorded on friends lists, where their sounds are accessed. The more friends you make, the more variations become available on the notes you've collected (i.e. sharps, flats, notes made with different instruments). Every note that becomes a user's friend generates a random variation of that note (you will never have the exact same sound from multiple users with the same note). Songs created have no time limit, they can be as short or long as the user wants. You can share songs created in-game for all other users to listen, and there will be a message board for help topics and users to chat. Social events will consist of periodic song contests, where users submit songs that match each event's theme (i.e. Rock Battle, Country Battle, etc.).
List of Challenges:
-How to make avatars capable of interacting with each other
-Creating entire environments on Flash
-Creating a way of collecting sounds
-Creating a music composer that will save songs and allow for sharing with other users
-Making loading time fast and smooth for players

Just an idea, but I was thinking back to Toontown where even though its a cartoon utopia, there is still the threat of an enemy. Toontown had the Cogs which you defeat with cartoon pranks, maybe in Music World, there are monsters that can only be dispatched with certain rhythms or harmonies.
ReplyDeleteThis would draw in gamers, probably the biggest group you can catch for virtual worlds.
