I'd like some comment on an idea for a game.

[Gemmalah]

My game isn't properly thought through just a basis at the moment. Just want to see if it may be worth actually making.

The aim of the game to to get enough money to buy a ticket to a concert or to go to a theme park (or something simiolar) may be given a gangish theme to cause enough trouble for your gang to take over.

its made of photos of a town you can visit places like the nightclub or seedy back alleys. (may be lincoln or peterborough uk)

its in first person you play as yourself

There are lots of mini games to play in which you can earn money or items. Such as in the nightclub you can get peoples phone numbers by chatting them up, then selling the numbers to mr desperate in the corner. A big mission will include graffiti tagging certain areas, but solving puzzles first to get everyone out of the area so they don't call the police. Then you gat paid for graffiti areas by a gang leader.

I was thinking some kind of pizza delivery mini game.

and a game in which you have to answer questions in a pub quiz getting questions wrong means your charactor has to take a drink, too many and they pass out, you have to start again.

ok now looking at it i know it needs alot of work and there will be other puzzles in persuit of money or mischief for example cover a small remote control car in a mouse costume to scare away a door guard who happens to be afraid of mice.

anyway constuctive critism please. thanks for reading

Sounds pretty cool. Alot of games like this don't wirk out too well due to lack of planning, but if done right this could be really interesting.

Yeah. Usually first person, actual photo games don't become popular. It'd make a good game, just not to sure about the first person thing.

I'm not sure how to make it not in first person as your supposed to be playing yourself in the game, and the charactor would have to be a photograph as well to make it fit in...

Thats alot of photos for a walking anination!

i was thinking of getting a still photo for non player charactors and animating them like monty python did.

would it work in the normal view?

You can always capture a video of somebody walkng on a treadmill, and then spilt that down into individual frames for a walking animation. I think this sounds interesting, but the first person thing puts me off.
