something simple and doable for a first timer, like a one screen game that people can keep playing. if you're going to design a video game, go back and examine what makes stuff like Donkey Kong and Pacman fun

I still have not finished making a game yet so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. It's not a very good idea to shoot for something huge right from the beginning

I was thinking of creating a custom pokemon rpg

It's a racing game where you can rewind time like in GRID. Halfway through the championship a few ours into the game our daughter is killed and the rest of the game you use your time rewind powers to solve her murder instead of racing. She was actually killed by yourself from the future so that he could win the big race. At the end of the game you have to race him and beat him to send him back to the future and get your daughter back.

sounds like quite the task

you should strive for something original that way you can profit from it and show people you're capable of shit. The reason I suggested a small game is because everyone wants to finish something. Think of an idea you know you can finish.

Flappy bird and candy crush beg to differ

You are a highly intelligent, skilled and witty technocrat who was captured by a rival company and tossed inside an abandoned weapons research facility that is still being patrolled by security droids. Stealth is cruicial and you begin the game with no tools or items. Instead of weapons, the player must scavenge together parts during each level in order to construct tools that will aid the player in suppressing droids and advancing the players' escape from the facility. As the player progresses it becomes more and more apparent that the facility belongs to the player's company. But the entire facility was built unbeknownst to the player. It is later discovered that a rogue chairman of your committee was embezzling funds from your company and used them to construct the facility and develop unmanned weapons and soldiers for the government despite your company's philanthropic ideals.

Modern day mercenary band. Commitin' crimes against the Geneva convention and not give a flying fuck all day every day. Gotta worry about your foes being legally able to torture the shit out of your captured men, though it works both ways.

>puzzle platformer (the easiest ones to make)
>about a person on a quest to save the world (most appealing) make the ending about either saving the world and letting yourself die (or vice versa)
