PROJECT IDEAS:
Gun Range:
3d gun/tower defense:
2d/3d platform shooter:
Website:
2d platform runner:
Gun Range: A simplistic idea in itself, but you have x amount of guns, as to which you shoot targets at x distance and you get points, you have to rack up the most amount of points, and the longer a target is up for, the less points you get. Different weapons give different points and they all have different sounds etc. You can do simplistic things like reload etc. This is all time based, so you need to use the correct weapons at the right time to get the biggest bonus you can get, so that you may get a higher score. It’ll be a simple indoor/outdoor map, or a combination of the two, so that you may go between the two, or practice to get a feel of the guns.
Who is doing the project?
Myself. I’m doing this project as I want to learn C# and also use my animations ive been creating in Unity.
The target audience?
18 – 20 Year olds / Myself / FPS lovers (First person shooters)
Why: To be honest, this is to test all the skills i’ve cultivated over the half year i’ve been using unity and blender for. I want to give myself a game where I can utilise my animation skills and model making to see if I can create something worth good enough. I want to improve my skills and push myself and to see what I can do.
I have recognised that I do not have any C# coding experience, so there will be a lot of frustration and confusion, but that’s a part of growing and learning. To face the challenges and hardships head on and push forward.
Tower Defense: similar to Gun Range, but it’s a defense game instead (obviously). So in essence, you have your tower, which you have to defend from waves of mobs. The waves increase over time, becoming increasingly difficult to kill over time as they spawn. You’ll have a default weapon which will always have ammo, and it’ll upgrade over time.
Why am i not doing this project?
I didn’t choose this because there’s tutorials on how to create a game.
I lack knowledge in this field.
Too complex.
Platformer 2D/3D: Platforming! The idea here is that you play on a 2D plane, with 3D models. So the idea is to get from A to B using the weapons etc that you find/have on your avatar. This will also allow me to utilise the large amount of assets ive gathered over the months, allowing me to create something that both looks, and sounds cool when playing it.

I know i have no experience with gaming but, I want to do my best because gaming has been my hobby for years, and i want to create something to get a new found appreciation for those who do this for years to make one game.
This will be my plan B.
2D platform runner: Similar to the first idea, this idea encompasses the idea of a side scroller, with 2d models and animations, where you have to run from a never ending doom wall which is moving towards you. As you get further, the you and the wall become faster, to the point if you make a mistake, it becomes harder to recover from it, to the point you’re eventually taken down by the wall and it’s game over.
Why am I not doing this project?
To be honest, this is just a variation of my plan B, and whilst it does offer some positives, I’d prefer to stick to my original idea as i personally believe it’d be more fun and engaging in the long run.
Web Project: I must admit, this has been on the back burner for a while now, as i have some knowledge of creating websites as I put myself through the gruelling task of making something that functioned properly and that had a full back end and front end that worked. Sadly those times have passed, and so i’m not exactly up to par with creating a website, plus… its a bit boring if i have to be honest here. I’d do it but it just doesn’t give me the satisfaction I want.
Why am I not doing this project?
Overall, im uninterested in what it has to offer me throughout the year. I’ve already done this before as a project at home in my own time, which to be honest, was a bit frustrating. Some things went well, other things didn’t. Like i say, i’m just not prepared to do another project of this magnitude whilst i do it at work and for other projects at college.
