i wonder where human get ideas for games from? i mean it's a silly question. but if you really think about it from a Martian's point of view.. what a heck.. someone makes rules and others follow with joy.

I think... the answer to your question is. you don't need an "idea" to make an addictive game... what you need is an interesting challenge that other's willing to partake.

Great ideas are like gems, nobody is going to give their ideas. If you don't have ideas maybe game development isn't your thing. This is why we make games to get our ideas out there. Too many people think their gonna make money with apps, kinda reminds me of the gold rush...95% of those who thought they were going to be rich went home broke. The guys who made money were the shovel makers..lol

@ FryingBaconStudios - Probably some of the shovel makers also went broke.
In the end, I think the inventors of "jeans" came out ahead of everyone else

@ MarvinAlberto - start with what you know, the kinds of games you like to play, reduce them to their simplest forms and learn how to make them first.

@MarvinAlberto , here's one I've been kicking around for a while.


How about a game where you are riding a dragon, soaring through the clouds, then you eat angels, and can shoot out one brass halo per angel. Then after you get struck by lightning the riders armor melts onto the dragon transforming it into a Ferarri!
Then you fall down into the middle of New York City, but you are going so hard and fast you land in the sewer system and team up with the ninja turtles. After crusing around on your Ferrari-gon you meet up with April, she proposes marriage(in a bikini while washing your car) but you know donnetello likes her and you don't want to lose a friend.

Not knowing what to do you travel to Greenland, your home, to get advice from your parents. Only to discover your village has been BURNED!
Turns out it was captain planet! Not knowing why you seek revenge!
You hop in your Ferrari-gon April on your arm, defeating the "Earth, Water, Wind, Fire" kids from the cartoon series before finally getting to captain planet himself!

Turns out this whole time he's been fighting pollution he's been actually processing the nuclear waste himself, to get the fluoride by-product. He then greased the wheels of the FDA to suggest that we should fluride our water to help our teeth stay strong, and every treatment plant in the United States is PAYING HIM to put fluride in drinking water(true story).

When he tried to do the same in Greenland, your parents called him out, and that's why he burned their village. You start fighting captain planet, turns out mother earth has sided with you in this struggle and a white stallion stands behind you. Soon as you mount it you relaize it's a PEGASUS WHOA!

You circle captain planet as you are soaring through the air giving him one last chance to surrender, but at the worse possible timing you find out the horse has been trained for drassage, and while he starts prancing about in the air Captain planet takes off with your wife April,(who's now freezing because she's been in a bikini this whole time and Greenland is super cold, you could easily to a shiver behavior by doing a timer every 5 secs> timer for 3 secs> change attribute self position x to self position x + (random -3, 6).

So then you start running around Greenland jumping on turtles and punching bricks in your state of rage when at last you come to Captain planets castle, jump over several pits of lava, only to find out there's only a weirdo with a mushroom hat on telling you Aprils in another castle.

Castle hmmm.. of COURSE. Cut to, you arriving to Buckingham Palace, you know who's been behind this all along! The Queen of England. After getting past the guards with the big hats you steal some jewels until you feel a silk glove smack you across the face... it's her. Turns out she's quite the boxer too! So you're dodging and weaving and you get a few good shots in and then things really get out of hand when she shows you her fangs. She's going for the bite and you think it's all over. Until BANG she falls over dead, shot by a silver bullet... you turn around and it's Donatello, after seeing your dedication to April he has forgiven you for stealing her from him. You finally get her back, in the same bikini looking great, and the three of you get pizza together.

THE END

Ever heard of the Ames family. Those brothers made so much money it still lives on in their family...they made shovels. Plus the railroad was going on too and the little casino car and whore house made more money than the railroad company..lol

There's lots kind of game that makes people addict, it's just depend on different people.
One very useful tips for you :
Think of 1 game that really really get you addicted, and use that game as a benchmark, try to create a game that is even more interesting, even more addicting!

@andrewm2211 I love your post. Don't ever stop doing what you're doing. With that said, I'm closing this thread because "give me an idea for a game" is just not something that's ever going to happen around here.

Come up with you own idea, start to design and build it, and THEN ask for help...
