First Game ideas.

My last 2 months of work I've decided in a sudden turn of events to start a 2 month game idea project.

Pooling my love for Lovecraft mythos, History and Horror I've come up with a rough game idea.

This idea will replicate a game idea portfolio in which i would submit to producers and developers.



So far I've been researching into what I'm going to be doing. this is what I've come up with so far:

• Bosses are Old Gods/ Deep ones.
• minions will be deep ones/ bone horrors etc to depict period.
• Necronomicon throws the character back n forth through time.
• Bosses have back up human hosts which you need to find and show to the public. humanish/ different levels to tell if human or not

Working primarily on:

• characters - bosses - minions.
• weapons
• game scenes - settlings - buildings
• costume.
