How To Find New Ideas If You're A Game Developer


By: Cristian Stan Click author's name for more of his/her articles

Creating a game that thousands or millions of people get to enjoy is something that can be considered a form of art. Getting ideas on how to make those games isn't always easy though or when you get the ideas, you always think that they could be better and more engaging. Here are some tips on finding new ideas for your video games.
1. Use humor in your games. By using humor, you can transform even the most boring subjects into something that players will enjoy. Make the players laugh when they play your games and your success is insured. Use funny images, jokes, characters that are goofy, and the players will consider the game to be fun.
2. Think outside the box, don't go only on the beaten path. People learn to think in an associative manner, so this should be incorporated in your video game. One action and one train of thought should provoke the player to think at something else that can be the solution of the problem ahead of them. Be as creative as you want with your video games. Be unconventional, be wild and the game that will turn out will be a pleasure to play. Whenever appropriate, get the logic back into the game.
3. Put your own dreams into the game you're creating. Make game scenarios out of your own wishes. Or, if you had a nightmare recently, consider implementing it into the game, with as many gory details as possible. Had a dream that seemed stupid? Make it something fun in the game (or a bonus level). Taking a dream and making it as part of a game can produce great results as far as the gameplay is concerned. If you remember your dreams, write them down in a journal and you never know when you'll have the chance of using them.
4. Take examples from the nature. There are a lot of weird things in the nature, like insects and plants with weird designs or behaviors. Think of germs, such small things and yet so capable of provoking destruction or taking down herds of elephants. Incorporating some of this crazy stuff in your video games can take you on a wonderful path. Don't just copy nature though. Use your own imagination and twist those examples into something else.
5. Learn more about the history of the world and see if there is something you can use. Alternatively, use your own history and embarrassing moments and see what you can put inside your game. Go to blogs and search for bizarre stuff that happened. If you can use that stuff in your game to make it better, then that’s great.
6. Use plenty of metaphors in your game scenarios. They suggest similarities to players. By taking real world objects, you can modify them to look like other things but still suggest something of their origins.
