Why? The most asked question ever. Well I have been thinking why make games that are the same and fit into the mainstream? I know what you are thinking. That is how you sell games and get popular. The thing is being different help you in the long run. Don’t make a game just to compete with one someone else so you can try and be better. Create your own, make it a piece of art that you may call your own.
You might be wondering why I am making this random post. Well I have been doing a lot of thinking. I go to school like everyone else my age but there is one thing different. Some people may not like me but I noticed that when you try not to act like others, more people will try to associate with you because they like that you don’t do the same thing. Now don’t get me wrong I am not telling you to be a weirdo or anything. Just try not to do something just because of someone else.
That is how I feel about game design. I tried to make a tower defense different and make it my own. It is hard though because it is such a small genre. People don’t like to stray from the norm. I have been thinking what if the game went with the way people lived there lives. They can still interact with others using the game as more of a social get together type thing.
Well if you bothered reading this I thank you. The main reason for this post was just to question why so many of the same things pop up. Someone does something a trend hits, and continues to grow until something new comes along. The same happens with games. I know everyone tries to come up with something whether it be a game or what to get your mom for her birthday but just make sure it is something that makes you stand out in a good way.
I know this has nothing to do with psp news but I just felt like posting this to get it out of my system.
