I'm really curious what kind of game everyone would want to play. I'm starting to getting into game development and I don't want to make the mistake of creating something that I would want, rather I'd like to create something that I know others would like.
But just out of curiosity, how does a game like this sound (what I'm working on currently):
A single player horror game where you must 'fix code in a rogue AI experiment' before the time runs out, while also avoiding Fracture, an AI demon that took over said experiment.
I'm not too sure if this explanation of the game is enough to intrigue anyone (or even make sense of what the game is). Although I've already asked a few people and they said that it sounds cool, but any critiques would be great.
EDIT: Whoever that one person that just downvoted is, you can go ahead and step on a lego. Thanks for downvoting for no reason whatsoever with no explanation whatsoever. :D
EDIT 2: I know that there isn't a single game that EVERY person would want to play.. I didn't mean for the title to sound like that (even though it obviously does, lol).
Hey everyone! Wanted to share something I've been working on:
Café New York 9/11 is a serious narrative adventure game set in a vibrant New York City café on the week of September 11, 2001. Players explore the lives of immigrant patrons and staff as they navigate themes of racism, family, resilience, and community amidst an unfolding historical tragedy. Through branching narratives, meaningful choices, and intimate storytelling, the game highlights the strength of human connections during moments of crisis. With its unique focus on untold perspectives and a richly detailed setting, Café New York 9/11 offers an emotionally immersive experience that fosters empathy and understanding while honoring the stories of those who were affected 25 years ago.
