Beer = Brain food

This week's brain storm was 10x better then last weeks and the secret ingredient? BEER (or in my case southern comfort and coke)! We got down an extra 4 ideas as well as the original idea from last week equalling 5 in total. Two of the ideas really stood out these were:

i) A Tamagotchi/Pokemon/Spore type game, which sees you with a creature that you look after from being an egg, and train it, breed it, personalize it etc, and go questing with it. It's a lot more detailed then that but I'll leave the rest for the presentation on Tuesday.

ii) A point and click type game, were the protagonist is a death-trainee. After killing to many humans you've been demoted to a fish-death, sort of like a grim fandango approach using comedy as a key point.

After reading the brief some more we found out it HAS to support on-line gameplay and other stuff so we decided to go for the first idea as it has a LOT of potential. We had ideas such as making the game single player for the main story, but then you connect online via a city (hub) and you can do quests and other stuff with other people, showing off your new gear/pet/abilities that you've got in the single player. It also gave us the option of putting the main game on a PC or Console and then giving the player the ability of downloading there pet onto a phone/hand held and looking after it whilst there away from there computer. They can also have battles, trade items, examine and even breed with other people pets whilst they are at school for example.

More will be revealed on Wednesday.
