Research

Above is a mindmap looking at the types of gaming out there from table top to console games


Above is a mindap looking at the various genres of console games. This helped me to determine what sort of game I want to create.


First of all I researched problem solving gaming. I thought about a game where the characters need to get home but they find obstacles along the way which prevent them from getting home. I took inspiration from a game called 'ben there, dan that' by zombie cow studios.

I then thought about a maths game which would primarily be aimed at children.

This was another idea for problem solving. I though about doing a hidden object game where a diffrent member of the family are looking for certain objects in certain rooms, but this has already been done before and would be hard to make original.

I then jotted down some ideas for an adventure game. From this I looked at characters I could use for a game.


After doing my research I have decided that I want to use the theme of under the sea for my game. I would like the game to be for children. The next stage of my ideas is to look into game ideas using this theme.
