Alternate Solutions

Alternate Solutions (Let’s Try This Again)

Solution 01: “High School”

In this game, the player must take on the role of a student entering his (or her…) senior year of high school. Will you choose to follow the straight and narrow path to a prosperous future, or slack off and spend the rest of your life pumping gas? The choice is yours.

Pros:
ü Non-linear gameplay
ü Original interpretation of traditional gaming concepts
ü Many titles from which to draw inspiration

Cons:
ü Will take considerable planning and time to execute
ü Game design may be too complex to be practical

Solution 02: “Street Racer”

Choosing from an assortment of classic and modern cars, you must pit your driving skills against fellow motorists in this high-octane battle to rule the midnight streets.

Pros:
ü Simple to design
ü Highly-engaging, action-packed gameplay

Cons:
ü Vehicle physics will be difficult to simulate realistically
ü Many racing games on the market
ü Use of automotive trademarks

Solution 3: “Invaders”

Similar to “Galaxia”, you must save the planet from an alien invasion.

Pros:
ü Simple to design
ü Easy user interface

Cons:
ü Trite Concept
