Brain Storm


So this is the first post for this protect. As said in the description the project has to center around the keyword "virus". So what could i do
  • Computer viruses
  • Biological viruses
  • Zombies
  • Hacking 
  • Information security
  • Containment
  • Hazmat suit
All of the things listed have some link to the word virus, So hears an idea for a game premise that could allow for some cool game mechanics. What if a military had  bipedal walking tank that was controlled by a AI, this AI could link to other machines and transfer its self to other units, and what if it could propagate itself amongst enemy units like a virus as well.From this you could get many game mechanics that could work well in a 2D environment such as
  • The ability to change player control to other units in the field 
  • The mixture of game play elements from platformers like Mario to shoot-em ups like R-Type due to the nature of the player character being a giant robot 
  • Have a variety of friendly and enemy units that the player could play as on the field Have an upgradeable Main unit that the player would use ate the start of every mission
Even though there are only a few ideas that have been listed there  are more that i won't go in to detail with just yet.
