Making a Video Game - Part 2 - How to Write a Creative Plot and Where Good Ideas Come From

By David

Believe it or not, we didn’t need cocaine to come up with creative stuff. All we needed was a giant jug of water.

Giant jug of creativity water.

Writing the plot for our new game made me realise why sitcoms need teams of writers, rock bands need a posse of misfits and Snow White needs seven dwarfs: sometimes going solo isn’t the best way to produce something cool. 

 

This video by Steven Johnson on where good ideas come from may explain what on earth I’m talking about:

So there you have it. Find some creative people. Bounce ideas off each other and add to them. Tap on each other's resources. Enhance each other's talents and tweak each other's dreams. Drink from a jug of water and build something brilliant.

Bye!

Praying for Japan

By David

I love Japan. Japan is the country where I experienced my first extreme drunkenness, the country with the tight cities and the great buildings and the flashing lights and the peaceful towns and the friendly customer service and Judo and Naruto, the country with the park with the small statues and the giant tower where I looked out towards the grey and orange horizon of the world. The pain it’s enduring right now is definitely a tragedy.

One thing to expect out of life is that death and suffering will come at you from everywhere. Muggers, dictators, terrorists, murders, accidents, natural disasters, all that other nonsense. We live in a world where we can die from speaking back to someone; we live in a world where we can die from eating food – we can even die from sleeping. There’s a giant invisible ball out there, and although we can’t see it, we can certainly feel its pressure.

Making a Video Game - Part 1

By David

Yup, that's right. We're making a game for the iPhone/iPad.

As a kid, I loved playing games. I loved eating mushrooms while riding Yoshi in Super Mario World. I loved perving with Leisure Suit Larry. I loved shooting my team members in Counter-Strike. Who the hell would've thought that Alvin and I might end up making a game one day? I wouldn't have.  

Right now, we are in heavy discussions on the plot.

SPOILER: It may or may not be about a diamond necklace and it may or may not involve a dead guy.

Here's my Microsoft Paint sketch of a diamond necklace (Alvin's illustration will be much better).

Stay tuned. Bye!
