Idea 2: Survivor on Island

Just like the game name "Survivor on Island", you will become to the island.

You are an island on the far sea, a group of people was shipwrecked and end up landed on you. You will need to control all kinds of resources and environments around you to keep that group of people stay alive.

The number of people who lives on the island will increase over time, people will create tools and buildings to gather items and foods to stay alive.

Island(the player):

• The player will gain ability points every day, it is used to spawn resources inside and around the island, which include summoning trees, animals or other natural items for AI survivors to collect and survive.
  • Make fruit grow again on bushes
  • Make trees grow up
  • Spawn animals
  • Spawn rocks, ores
  • Spawn rain(water) on some fixed area
  • Random barrel float to the beach
  • Add the possibility of specific action on AI survivors side

• Drop the possibility of specific action on AI survivors side
• ...

Game goal:

• The game won when AI survivors gathered enough material from the island to build a boat to escape.
• The game loses when all AI survivors have died.

To be determined：

• Volcanic eruptions will happen after the game start n days to make the mission fail if this action happened.
  • Volcanic eruptions can be delayed by spending a lot of instant points.

General

With the theme of Unexpectedly Opposite, both ideas are about switching player perspectives(opposite perspective) with common game concepts on the market.

Different from other common game concept play processes, while preserving the development direction of the story of common game types, change the player’s position to an uncommon position. For example, an often seen story is that the player needs to defeat a final boss to finish the level or game, but now if you are asked to play as the final boss and needs to defeat the hero of the game world to conquer the world, this will give players a strong sense of freshness to this game.

The game is targeting the audience that is already interested in the original theme of this game, also it is interesting enough to attract new audiences to try this game generated from the existed concept.
