Game Vision Statement

Introduction: My game will be called 'Monkey goes Bananas' and it will be based on a a hungry monkey that is going around the forest trying to collect bananas.
Monkey goes Bananas

My original game idea was to have a open world roaming game, where an element of the game would be to collect gems throughout the game, but I felt like this wasn't a strong enough idea as there wasn't much purpose behind it, so I feel by creating a character that has to collect an item that is more relevant to it, that it would make for a more interesting game and it would add more purpose.

Description: My game idea is based around a hungry monkey, so the objective of the game will be to  collect as many bananas as possible before he loses all his energy.
I plan to have a bar at the top of the screen which will represent how much energy the monkey has, I will have this on a timer so it decreases with time if there are no bananas collected.

Key Features: I plan to include features such as different coloured bananas, yellow being ordinary and this will increase the monkeys energy levels,  red will be a super banana which will double the monkeys energy levels, which will result in you having more time to find more bananas, and blue will be the deathly banana, one which you will have to make sure to stay clear of as it is poisonous and will kill the monkey!

Genre: The genre of my game will be based within a forest, trying to find food for a monkey.

Concept Art: I want my game to look bright and fun, there will be a lot of greenery as it will be based in a forest as this is a monkeys natural habitat.

I also looked up some  more Jimmy Vegas tutorials to see how I can bring this game idea to life;

  1. Hey Eva, I love the idea of the hungry monkey, I think it makes the game way more engaging for the player when there's a story behind it. I like the idea of the bar representing how much energy the monkey has left, I think this is a really nice detail. Will there be other monkey's in the game or will there just be one main character? You could even have different levels in the game. The monkey's energy may decrease each level making the game more challenging. I think I'd really like playing this game. I think it has the correct amount of balance between fun and challenge. I think this game will be really engaging and suitable for all ages! I can imagine myself enjoying this game and my little cousins. I think the simplicity of your game will make it really popular. I look forward to seeing what it comes out like:)

  2. Hi Eva, I like your game idea it sounds really fun. It clear that you put some thought in your game. I like the idea of showing how much energy the monkey has and the different colour of bananas. I wonder if there will be a timer or a warning sound when the monkey's energy is going low and you are about to lose? I am looking forward to see what your game will look like and good luck.

  4. Hi Eva! I think that your game vision statement is very well done and I can see that you are putting a lot of effort into this. The idea of showing your energy levels is going to work very well with your game. I can not wait to try the final product.
