Any minigame suggestions? | Charity App (Cancer)

JamieOneil

Well, there is an 11 year old girl who lives in my town, she has a very rare cancer that only 100 people a year have (in the UK)
I went to the same primary school as her, when i was at primary school.

Im planning on making an app for her, which i'll most likely just make as a facebook app, not for apple.

So, im planning on making one or more minigames and putting her face as the character!
If anyone has any minigame idea's, or a project file for a minigame, that would really help!

If anyone wants more info on her, i found this video -
They are trying to raise £500,000 Pounds.
If you have any projects you wish to share, email me - jamieoneil97@hotmail.com

More videos are popping up about her..



Thank you.

EDIT: Seems someone else also has plans to help children with cancer, http://gamesalad.com/blog/11-year-old-uses-gamesalad-to-help-kids-with-cancer

there's a song by the flaming lips called yoshimi battles the pink robots. basically it's about a japanese girl who was fighting cancer and past away, and they wrote a song for her. perhaps you would be able to get usage right for your cause. doesn't hurt to ask if you think the song fits your game or even inspires your game. the story is like a samurai girl of some sort battling.

it could be a cancer evil boss killing type of game. side scrolling. with germs or needles and what not flying towards main character.

@tshirtbooth That would help very much:) Thank you.

JamieOneil

@ultima I will be sure to look at it! Thank you for your input!

JamieOneil

okay, just to let you know.
I will most likely be starting on the mini games tomorrow, as i have the basic menu done. Its got a 'Doodle' theme to it, just seems the most appropriate.

JamieOneil

Got someone working on music! Thank you Arson (Cardinal)
I think i'll add in a doodle jump kind of game as a minigame, everyone likes a bit of Doodle Jump!

Still need suggestions!
Email me if you have any suggestions or project files - jamieoneil97@hotmail.com
I probably should have bought the GS project merger..

@JamieOneil ,

what you are trying to do is amazing and i would really like to help , maybe with graphics , mail me : ii.sharkawy@gmail.com

just wanna highlight something for you cause i was planning to do such a thing before, if you are planning to sell the game on the Appstore ; Apple won't accept it , as its mentioned in the AppStore terms and conditions . see below :

“21.1 Apps that include the ability to make donations to recognized charitable organizations must be free

"21.2 The collection of donations must be done via a web site in Safari or an SMS”

Cheers

I have a minigame template id love to share! Just shoot me an email at: thermoapps@gmail.com
EDIT: for free obviously!

JamieOneil

@a.sharkawy It is going to be a free app, just with ways you can donate (Through the internet or SMS)

JamieOneil

Okay, best to ask now rather than later.
I have permission to use their photo's of Vanessa, but, will i need to contact apple and let them know about this?

SharkawyDev

@jamieoneil , apple won't mind anything untill somebody claim or contact them to make a case, so if u have a permission and ur sure now one will complain go ahead

That's awesome! So generous.

I'm not a religious man, but i've been told there's more to life then life itself. Maybe get her in touch with God or something to.
I lost someone who was like a Little brother to me, and it made me think, someone who had heart failure and a brain tumour... a Higher power our there wanted him for something more.

I suck at art because I take so long. But I can do it... If you want a hand designing her cartoon character I can help with that!
I will do a free video review when the game is done also!

JamieOneil

Sorry, i don't know any good screen recorders!
Got a bad recording of the story in the app, and a screenshot of the menu.
