I want to get my first game out there but the lack of ideas are holding me back or the ideas i do have are out of my ablity to do but half arse to learn. I want to make a game that would motivate me to create it and learn for it. Something origanal and interesting.

Input needed!
Answear the following questions and you will have an idea for a game...

What is your favorite genre?
What common traits have you seen in the genre (gameplay)?
What could you do to give a unique spin on the genre?
Will you be able to find ways to code the parts you want?

also...try coming up with some fun ways to write the code...

don't be too rushed in ideas...it takes a long time for even the professionals to come up with ideas.


But I would reccomend you think of unique things thouroghly

I disagree; ideas are a dime a dozen.

Great ideas are more valuable; but the only way to come up with 1 great idea is to come up with 20 bad/mediocre ones in the meantime. (Or just get lucky, but you can't rely on that.)

I meant good ideas, I thought that was implied...
