Game Idea
The document provides guidance for developing a game idea, including sources of inspiration, describing the idea, and details for "Mission #3" where students will present and pitch original game ideas. Students are instructed to draw from dreams, other media, existing games, and idea generation tools when developing their concepts. The game idea should be described in 1-3 sentences or a short paragraph covering the goal, main player activities, and what makes the game unique. For the mission, each student will have 3 minutes to pitch a new game idea to the class, with the best ideas voted on and teams formed to develop them further.

- #6 Ten Finnish Game Industry Success stories - Jussi 1) Innovative design - e.g. crayon physics ( + marketing also blog to describe the developments) - e.g. Minecraft (sweden) + edv 2) Redefine genre - new game. (why your game is better then others? How is it different?) - e.g. Remedy: Max Payne - shooter game with story, slow motion bullet hitting (bullet time) - cinematic stile of game, - e.g. Alan Wake - listen feedback but don't believe it. e.g. game is to easy (it does not feel powerful enough) 3) Portfolio on new platform - e.g. Sumea (focused on color mobile phones on 2000) - focus on new platforms before they get popular. - where nobody else is making games e.g. smart TV, Google Classes, Oculus rift, Smart watch - they presented them bigger then they were (they got attention from clients) ??? 4) Try to be the very best in your genre - e.g. Bugbear - only racing games (to me - focus on business simulations) 5) Refine the tried and true - e.g. Rovio - Angry Birds (they made 51 games before success) - they changed company strategy and focused on successful game (did not started new game). 6) Nostalgia but new - good for advertising, snow ball effect e.g. Mountain Sheep - dungeon master (1987), Legend of Grimrock e.g. Kukouri - Cannon Fodder (90), Tiny Troopers e.g. Almost Human - Hat trick (80), Ice Rage 7) Tried and true on new platform - Supercell (7 million for start) - FarmVille on tablet - Hay day - Mafia war online game (2000) for tablets – Clash of Clans - Gun Shine (core game to Facebook - bad) - Free to play (game is free, but you pay for small things inside the word) 8) Clare understanding of target audience - Best game to specific audience - e.g. Colossal Order - Cities in Motion - Transport Tycoon 9) Building up your user base - advertise to your contacts - reach to the players of your previous games e.g. Fingersoft e.g. hill climb racing 10) Original attitude stair dismount - create as much as pain as possible zen bound - wrap the item with rope
