[Tri-oblivion XII]

I am a self proclaimed aspiring video game designer. Ive been developing idea since I played video games but one thing has became a tree in the gears (was a branch but it grew) I never thought of a title. Ive been think for years and i never thought of a freaking title. so I come to you the smart people of the KHI forums to come to my aid*. Please have a heart and help and guide me to an awesome title


* one condition I won't give incredibly vital details and ideas or they might be stolen and then I'd be shooting myself in the foot

Seeing as how vital details breed titles, I don't think I can help you. But I feel jolly today. I'll help

Every gamer when they're 13 thinks they're going to grow up and be a great video game designer, but in all honesty you should see the likeliness of what the field is like: long, boring, tedious hours in front of a computer screen typing code. Not influencing great decisions, not playing around with a controller in your hand, not simply selecting "lol press X buttan and suddenly SUPAHFLASHYCOMB HAPPENS" into the computer and then that's programmed into the game, you spend long 60 hour weeks in front of a computer screen

Are you going to be working on the latest and greatest breakthrough title? Chances are: no. What most people going into Video Gaming end up doing? They make Disney games, and Barbie's Horse Adventures, and the latest Movie tie-in game developed by EA. You don't do anything significant, chances are you'll end up making the very games you hate to play right now; the trashy shovelware games that get popped out by by EA like "super backyard baseball '09", etc.

How do you know? I could make the greatest videogame you've never seen. And people who talk as you make the things you say come to reality. So I will make a game Practically beyond comprehesion with greatness

Or, you'll make Barbie's Grand Adventure in Swan Castle

TMM's right, most people who consider entering game design don't know that they start small. Thinking you'll wake up one day and say, "I'm gonna create the best video game ever!" will not happen. If you DO get into game design, you WILL start off developing mediocre titles.

as for a good video game title, just add "Final" at the beginning and watch the money roll in..
