I was just wondering if there were people with story ideas they want to turn into a game but don't have the means to do so. Lacking manpower, time, etc. Would love to hear your thoughts! |

I'm sure there are such people with ideas but couldn't make the game themselves. Though I don't know where they are. |

I mean, I am currently in the middle of outlining game concepts, characters, etc. And have absolutely 0 experience in programming. Just a passion for games, and a decent bombastic world builder and story teller. |

I have a story idea too. But it may be quite long. Do you have some time to listen to my story?☺ The story begins with [player], a spirited young girl/boy living in a rural area who aspires to become the champion of the World Bird Race. Her/his journey commences with the establishment of a birding club at her school, enabling her to join the local teen birding league. However, it's a challenging task to find club members, as her/his friends don't share her passion (- a feeling reminiscent of someone expressing a desire to excel in obscure sports like Sepak Takraw or Yoyo). Fate takes an unexpected turn when she stumbles upon a skilled aggressive VR FPS gamer with his observing skill and inevitable shots, determined to attain fame and recognition, and a calm music club member with a talent for sound, categorization, and remembering skills. Persuading them to join her birding team, the gamer seeks fame, while the music girl aims to use the contest prize money to cure her mother's illness. Thus, the unlikely misfit trio embarks on an adventurous journey into the world of bird-watching competitions, where they are destined to face formidable adversaries from their past. The story's tone mirrors that of Shonen sports manga or anime series like Gundam Build Fighters, Inazuma Eleven, Digimon, or Crush Gear. In each stage of the game, players engage in an exciting form of bird shooting through photography. Each bird and wildlife species presents unique challenges, whether they are fast, elusive, or aggressive. Gathering more bird photos results in increased earnings that can be used to upgrade equipment, including cameras, bug-repellent hats, and camouflage gear. The rarity of birds will give different earnings and experiences. Collecting watched bird/wildlife lists in the bird guidebook could be one of the fun elements in this game. Edited by: PatMozaic |

Wow I enjoyed reading your game idea. PatMozaic. I like how it shows the spirit of photography and environmentalism. I think the different motivations for joining the birdwatching despite their shared interesting will make an interesting character dynamic. I wonder about the nature of the competition and who are the rival teams that will provide some conflict for the player? You said “the world faces a pressing environmental crisis” so the major conflict could be a race against time before the planet succumbs to whatever dust storm that we humans kicked up, I’m thinking about interstellar here. What do you think about my story idea? It’s almost finalized and currently in development for my game in Unity. Here is a short synopsis. In the bustling metropolis of Good City, veteran detective Sam finds his principles tested when he's forced into a dangerous deal with the cunning business mogul Jorge. Sam and his sassy partner Wanda chase Maryann, Jorge's fiery ex-wife who launches vengeful attacks against his powerful company TEK Motors. But they soon realize Maryann is motivated by tragedy - Jorge's reckless actions led to an accident that killed her beloved pet. To uncover the truth, Sam makes a risky bargain with Jorge, immersing himself in TEK's rivalry with ECO Motors. As tensions explode into chaos, with daring heists and blazing car chases, Sam plays both sides. Yet his loyalty to the force competes with his growing sympathy for Maryann's crusade. When the devious Jorge frames him for a crime, a vengeful Sam must contemplate breaching the law to enact justice. But by choosing retribution over morality, will he endanger everything he holds dear? Edited by: noircityfun |

Thank you for your feedback, Noircityfun. 2. I think your main story idea is OK for the game. Will it be polished further in the future? |

We're currently working on a Skies of Arcadia-style JRPG but my game development background is DEFINITELY limited. We're still going to try to make an attempt because I do have a background in IT / Programming, so we're tackling problems (while slowly) in chunks.
Once we have some key elements moving forward, in the meantime, I'm spending my evenings learning the engines (and spending every other night on forums, haha). Shooting for a "playable" level by the end of 12 months that gets the idea / story beginnings across. Definitely a marathon versus a race. Reading people's experiences and thoughts on their projects is EXTREMELY inspiring. Love posts like these. |
