Yesterday we got the brief - definately unexpected, but after thinking it through we've come up with a few ideas.
The brief is to design a game for a record label for the fans of either Dizzie Rascel, The Killers or Lady Gaga. The game itself could be any genre but would have to avoid the 'rhythm action' format such as with "Rock Band" and "Dance Dance Revolution".
At first we didnt think the brief had much scope but after an hour of brainstorming for each of the artists, we had a few good concepts. While we havent yet finalised which artist to design for, we are all agreed that the current popular web based management games should be a key influence. Massively popular titles such as Mafia Wars (25 million users) and Farmville (45 million users) offer a relatively basic gameplay. If we could develop a detailed core mechanic we feel our Flash knowledge could create a more animated and much more varied gaming experience.
