Game Ideas

This is a collection of game ideas I came up with myself, developed with others or just gathered together on twitter and other websites. I do not claim any rights to them; in return I will keep them vague as possible so even if two people use the same idea, they may end up with a different interpretation regardless.

The list is relatively unsorted for now. I may change this in the future.

Here goes:

General game ideas:

• Spider Simulator
• "Plant a Tree"-game
• Bee Colony Manager
• Cell growth & evolution game (decide whether and what organs are evolving in an organism!)
• Puzzle game with gears/clockworks
• Universe Creator
• Civilization Creator
• Creature Creator
• A combination of all of the 3 above
• "Save the Asteroids" (from destruction by planets etc)
• "Ballistic Constructor" sandbox game: create ballistic weapons (crossbows? catapults? modern guns?), test them in the shooting range and play against or with your friends
• "Hide the Aliens" - Don't let humanity find out about reptile aliens in the government
• "Shadow Demon Game": fight against your inner demons!
• Design a game where the use of violence is optional. If the player makes use of violence, make him fix the mess he's caused. (Interesting in combination with FPS/team play games)
• "Stranded on Planet" Survival Game; research the unique terrain, fauna and flora of the planet in a Kerbal Space Program-like fashion and come back home safely. 

VR Game Ideas:

• First Person Open-World Horror Survival Game with focus on teaching real life skills (i.e. for engineering, survival)
• First Person Stealth Game a la SplinterCell
• First Person Racing/Flight/Space Simulation

Other Game Ideas:

• Realistic Flight Simulation paired up with VR, using real life toy helicopters/drones or similar
• "Robotic Colony Game" (tiny robots on a large area serving as play field, in real life)
