Title: Fade, game Idea
Post by: saintrunner on November 21, 2011, 04:46:42 pm
so yes I know I am doing this backwards!
So I have a game idea!
So far I have the title, the menu, and the credits!
But I don't have the game!
I know this is weird but looking at the title 'FADE' and the menu, (below), what should the game be like?

How ever gives me the best idea, i will add to the credits with high honors!

? judging by the title it seems like you would have to do stuff while the screen is fading from dark to light and vice-versa.

You said you had a game idea; what's your game idea?

The idea is the title! and the menu, and the concept (which parser hit head on), but I don't know exactly what the game is yet.

the game itself shouldn't be hard, cause with the fading it'll be way hard. Maybe a puzzle game?

How about a platformer where you lose life by staying in the darkness, and you regain health by slivers of light within the level. And as time progresses the light starts fading away.

OHH! I do like puzzles! now I just need help figuring out how the puzzle should look, or what it should be for that matter!

maybe a puzzle like a maze, that is easy once you look at it for a while, but with the fading action it will be a lot harder :D

strobe mazes? hmmm :)

How about the screen invert in the maze? That would be challenging.

Post by: saintrunner on November 21, 2011, 05:17:55 pm
OH I like that! so when should it invert?
Title: Re: Fade, game Idea
Post by: mrmprog on November 21, 2011, 05:20:07 pm
Either randomly, or when a certain item is found/used. Even better, have  buttons, that invert certain sections, and others that invert the whole screen.

maybe at random times? or every 5 seconds?
EDIT: :ninja:

I like the idea of it doing it on its own! like on a timer! and when it inverts there is a new puzzle, but the goal it the same! so you got to go fast
Title: Re: Fade, game Idea

You could make an action mode, complete with gravity, and fast random inverts. That would be fun!

maybe! (keep in mind this post was for multiple ideas, so while this idea is awesome, we can build on it later! for now lets find more ideas! and weigh the options)

How about enemies and differing terrain? Also you could make some lights moving and others static.
