Writing Prompt The First Game to Make

[Nolff]

You were transported into another world without your consent, and that's through a voicemail. How generic.

Anyways, you are a fully exhausted game developer who has about several titles nearing release conditions. But, since you're in another world now, you've lost all that progress you've made. You decided to visit an internet cafe, a popular place that this world's denizens loves to visit. Playing some PC games, you did, and you were disgusted by them. Gaming has gone down the drain, so much so that you prefer to pray to lord Gaben to come down and save you, but that's not gonna happen.

So instead, you've got an idea.

Why don't I make a game myself?

And you went back to your newly acquired apartment, eager to sit down in front of your PC and start to work. The question that leaves you confused in the chair is, what kind of game do you want to make?

 

[MC-Stories]

A fighting game that is easy to pick up and even easier to master, so the whole "Get Good" is not going to fly with me buddy!

 

[Tabula_Rasa]

Gaming has gone down the drain,

Please elaborate. What does gone down the drain in comparison to the current world?

I’d remake the entire history of gaming, starting with Pac-Man then Mario then Zelda then Minecraft and finally Fortnite. i will make them all have micro-transactions and become rich and live an easy life. ?

Have you read "Game Creator System"? It sucks, but the idea is there.

Was thinking about the same thing, but I said, "Nah, my MC is a respectful man." Instead of outright copying them, he'll only be imitate some games he have played in his life.

I already got the idea. That is to make a game that's like SCP:CB, but original. This is gonna be a hard one. So, if you have any ideas about how I should make this, do leave a comment!

Ehhhhhh~ I am not doing homework!

*Disappears even harder

 

[Nolff]

*Disappears even harder

I would but I do not know the game “SCP:CB” ?
Looked it up on google and it seems like a horror game; maybe have the protagonist make a horror game, but make it “meta” for the world he was transported in. Like, imagine they have cyborg-elfs in that world, you could have the main monster of the game be an even scarier cyborg-elf!

And if that doesn’t work out, you can always give him a villain arc and have him copy OG games anyway ?

SCP:CB Stands for SCP: Containment Breach. A game where the player is an ex-Level 3 Researcher now demoted to a D-Class, Disposable Class. In the game, the player was taken to a containment chamber by two Guards carrying military-grade weapons and armors. The player was to clean the containment chamber of SCP-173, a statue in the form of a peanut who has an obsession of snapping necks and can move very fast without the laws of physics carried within its movement. All went to hell eventually, and the player's objective changed to escape the Site-19 facility alive.

I won't spoil the fun for you, if you ever try to play it anytime soon. And yes, it is a horror game.

I was thinking about the same idea as yours. But, I don't think I want to take that path entirely.

The MC here is an idealist, sort of. He's like that art guy who might not seem to care much to anyone's art, but he's actually appreciating them and would probably go mad if the world's art's standard goes downward. I want him to make a game like SCP:CB and also initiate the beginning of the SCP Wikipedia on that world. Name's gonna be different though.

For now, this is what I conclude form my brainstorming:

E.R.I (Enormis Research Institute, they capture anomalous things, study them, and keep them away from going public)

E-371 (SCP-173, but loves breaking ankles instead of necks and also speed defies physics, which means it cannot crash onto walls)
E-061 (SCP-106, but instead of rotting things and be malicious, it's just a chill humanoid being that looks old and just wants to take people to the Realm of the Restless, where souls rests peacefully. But yeah, that's just means death in another portrayal, because in that realm, souls dissolve slowly. And instead of black goo, we have clouds of white smoke. And instead of black man, it's a blue-pale humanoid being.)
