Game Idea/Mechanic Generator-Game Idea Generator

Example

A developer working on a new puzzle game might use the generator to come up with a fresh mechanic. The generator could suggest the 'Match Liquid' mechanic, where players pour liquids between bottles to sort them by color.

Scenario

The developer inputs the type of game they are working on and the desired complexity of the mechanic. The generator provides the 'Match Liquid' concept, along with a step-by-step guide on how to implement it, including possible challenges and variations.

Example

An indie game developer wants to add a new layer of strategy to their tower defense game. The generator might suggest incorporating a 'Sun's Position' mechanic, where the growth of defensive structures is affected by the sun's position.

Scenario

The developer describes their current game mechanics and asks for enhancement ideas. The generator recommends the 'Sun's Position' mechanic, providing detailed instructions on how to integrate it and how it can add depth to gameplay.

Example

A team is developing a cooperative adventure game and wants to introduce a unique twist. The generator combines the 'Cooperative Exploration' and 'Traitor Phase' mechanics to create a game that starts cooperatively but shifts to a one-versus-all dynamic.

Scenario

The development team outlines their game concept and seeks a mechanic that can surprise and engage players. The generator combines relevant mechanics, explaining how the game can transition from a cooperative to a competitive phase, enhancing player engagement.
