Finished two more concepts. One is an adult game called Discretion Advised. The other is a music making game called Rock Star. Chose the best one of the last two games which was Creative Director.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR

The player moves into an apartment in Hollywood and must buy some supplies to start making a movie. They can team up with other players who already have supplies to make a better movie in which they both get paid. The players have to juggle paying the bills with making movies and if their movies don’t make any money they could be ruined. Teaming up is always better because there is a greater chance of making money. The players can use stand in actors (NPCs) in their movies but they don’t get subsidised for them. They set up the cameras and direct how the action should pan out then sit back and watch it happen.

Finished the next two concepts and chose the best one from the previous two which was Armed Forces. One is a social real estate development game set in paradise called Paradise Resort; the other is a movie making game set in Hollywood called Creative Director.

ARMED FORCES

An armed forces squad is called out to a domestic violence incident that has turned ugly. They turn up and smash the door down, moving in and taking down the offender. They use the money they have earned to buy better weapons and armour. They can also use their experience learn new moves and practice them in the training room. The team moves on to the next callout which is some people robbing a petrol station. They take them down, earning more money and experience.

Finished the two new concepts and chose the best one from the last lot which was Death Cage. One is a social game set in the city called Livin' Large; the other is an action RPG set in modern times called Armed Forces. Started writing two more concepts.

DEATH CAGE

A group of young people with an enthusiasm for cars soup up some derelict vehicles and decide to run each other off the road. More people join in and it soon becomes a deadly sport. There is an entry fee for each round which goes into the pot. The contestants ram each other and shoot each other with mounted weapons to be the last one standing. Eventually the numbers of competitors drop as they run out of money. The final round is very expensive to enter so the winner will ruin their opponent.

Finished writing the next couple of concepts: one is a vehicle combat game set in a war torn city called Death Cage; the other is a Fighting Fantasy style game set in the North Pole called Quest For Truth. Chose the best design from the ones that were simmering which was Conquest. Started writing two new concepts. One of the next concepts I write should be a social movie making game. I want to start writing more social games where people can work on projects together.

CONQUEST

You ride up to the outskirts of a village and dismount your horse. You walk up to the gate and defeat the guards. More guards come out of their homes while villagers run away in a panic. You press on to the next village. This one does not have any guards; you must find the chief and force him to leave. You have forced the chief to leave and move on to the next village. Before you reach it, you meet a party of villagers in the forest and must fight them. You set their village on fire and head back victorious.

Finished writing up the new concepts and started two more. Of the new concepts one is an adventure game set at sea called The Island; the other is an action adventure game set in the Roman Empire called Conquest. Chose the best one out of the last two designs which was Super Octane. I now have five refined concepts which I am going to let sit until I have written five more. After that I will choose the best and the second best out of those and present them.

SUPER OCTANE

The annual jet bike race season is about to start and you don’t have a ride yet. You must go to the team managers and see if there are any seats available. You find a ride with a small team and an uncompetitive bike. The pre-season testing is underway so you get out there and put in as many laps as possible. You race all five rounds of the championship and come in seventh place. You have some good experience which you can leverage next time to get a better team.

Chose the best design from the fourth lot that I wrote. It was the social game called Life Unplugged. It seems like a strange idea but it would play out like an adventure game. The player has to perform certain tasks in order to win over a certain girl etc. Worked some more on the new concepts.

LIFE UNPLUGGED

A socially awkward teenager decides it's time to find love. He has to overcome his social anxiety and fear of talking to strangers in order to accomplish this. He goes out on the town and talks to a lot of people. He gets a few invites to different places and gets a few girls' phone numbers. He goes on several dates, some work out and some don’t. When he needs another date he goes out on the town again. Eventually he gets married and settles down.

Went over the previous two game designs that were simmering and chose the best one which was Drug Soaked Frenzy. Finished writing up the next two concepts: one is an FPS game set at the edge of the universe called Operation Falcon; the other is a jet bike racing game set on the moon called Super Octane. Started writing two more concepts.

DRUG SOAKED FRENZY

A seemingly normal bus driver one day takes his bus AWOL, grabs a machine gun out from under his seat and starts mowing down innocent bystanders. He races down the highway, blowing up cars as he passes and running others off the road. He takes the off ramp and drives through the middle of town, gunning down pedestrians and smashing through cars. Loads of police cars turn up and block him off, he runs the bus aground and is violently gunned down by police.
