In-Depth Information
has nothing to do with the gameplay process itself, but it looks great, and the player
will love it and will try to repeat such a game situation in the future. Let's give this
variant of game a code name Magic sky.
The following are the advantages of the Magic sky game idea:
• Looks very atmospheric
• The game has a lot of space for different special effects and animation
The following are the disadvantages of the Magic sky game idea:
• It is mainly good for games with spells and for the lights mode
• The spells of elements require good-looking animations of different nature
conditions: rain, lighting, fire, and snow
Alternative ideas
• The figure gestures can be a great learning tool for kids. They can teach let-
ters and digits. The game shows a letter glyph, and a kid has to repeat it on
the screen. On a hard difficulty, the game can show short words such as one,
two, cup, cat, and dog.
• If you are qualified enough, you can convert a gesture game into an impro-
vised music tool; each gesture produces a specific sound or music tone. On
playing the game, the player plays some electronic music. It is good to use a
minimalistic graphic style with some abstract ornamentation for that game.
• Why not use flowers as a graphic representation of a gesture? Something
like a big chamomile or a sunflower. They can be animated.
• Another fun idea is to utilize an illustration of a pizza as a gesture symbol.
The style must be very cartoony. The pizza's ingredients will form the differ-
ent symbols.
