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.
