The Duke of Edinburgh's Gold Blog (Skills)

The game that i would like to try out is a top down shooter, so im going to try find some nice pictures that will give me somthing to think about,

I want to make my game Sci-Fi i think but this is just me thinking about it at the moment.

Even the more basic looking games can give out some good game play

I want my game to look retro as well to make it easy for me to do the art for the game and it would look nice for people who liked the 8-bit era

Space invaders is not really a top down shooter but it was still a great game and I look like to give my game that feel of space invaders.

I love seeing Da Vinci's work in 8-bit most people might not like it but i love it

There are so many spaceship designs that anyone can make one feel life-like even if it look strange to many others. Like that picture just then.

Maybe later down the line I could have each level as a planet?

Maybe I could have "power-ups" in the game? this is much later down the line, im just thinking about this kinda thing at the moment

I will not be using real guns within my game, the only guns you will see is the one firing from the spaceships

I like the looks of these "power-ups" there are simple and easy to understand no matter who you are and how use to these symbols you are.

A "bullet hell" game just means a game where trying to evade COUNTLESS bullets while trying to get ahead in the game, i dont want to make one of these because of how hard these games are, I do like hard games but more "fair"hard games. Reminds me more of a light show then a game to be honest but this is good for my resceach.

You can kinda call the game i would like to make a "on rails shooter" as well because of the fact that your are always going up one path.

I feel like that I have done some good reasceach so what im going to do for the last 15-10 mins is start making a 8-bit space-ship. I might carry this over to next week as well.

I will have to do more with the flames at some point.
