Hey all. Right now, I am going through a phase where I have some ideas - maybe - but my brain is really not working out good ideas in terms of gameplay. I've researched some games on the app stores, played lots - and who knows, maybe that is the reason why I can't knuckle down an idea. Just curious how you folks cope when you run out of ideas, or search for new ideas to make a new game - or even a game with a twist.
Lol funny you should say this, I tweeted out yesterday this game dev tip: If you ever run out of game ideas just go up to a non game dev and tell them you are a game developer. They will give you 10 of "THE BEST" game ideas.
lol @thatguyminib For me, to keep myself fresh, i bounce between games. At any point during a single day, ill work on 3-5 different games. My favorite thing to do is hunt games down on stores and play them. Then think about ways i can achieve this style of game within BB. Figure out a trick or "hack" to make a certain function work etc.
I'm the same as @OneHitGamer 5 to 6 games on the go at once, back and forward. One game i have been working on for over a year, LOL I do a couple of scenes get brain jammed, move on to next game and go from there. But finally I'm focused on my, over a year game, completed 5 worlds, all UI's, and now working on an endless mode. Hopefully should be done in the next few weeks..or months hahahahah.
Buildbox Game Jam 3 days time limit would be sweet. Set rules......Game MUST have x feature....be about x. Winner gets like....3 months free. Or some assets. Or some help from trey an crew etc. @TreySmith @Buildbox @ZackGriset
Haha I love this guys. We are definitely doing a game jam soon. I said before that it would be towards the end of February, but it might be a bit later. We are working on a few other projects and then I'm jumping on it.
I think having a game jam for BB3 beta would be perfect to build hype for BB3 release. You could even make a YouTube video showing highlights of all the games made. I know when BB3 beta is available I'll make some YouTube videos on it and about learning JavaScript with it
