Short of ideas.

Hello everybody. I'm interested in developing a game based on the movie The Addams Family. but I am short of ideas. I have super abilities for modeling, animation, design, programming, but I'm short of ideas of how to develop the concept of which will be the final game, "the story". Please appreciate any idea about that.

Soon I'll post some photos of the characters. They seem like 3D animated cartoon.

What do you mean short of ideas, do you mean things such as what to do in the game, like mini-games etc.?

Something like where to start (I planning to began in one of the rooms with an atmosphere a bit scary but at the same time funny).
But what I really mean is the content of the game, the story that I'm want to create.

So you would like us to make the whole game story for you based on the adams family?

First off try thinking of your own ideas, dont expect other people to do it for you, just try to think of something unique , maybe even a bit crazy/experimental (its your game, do what you like)

And here is one idea, start off outside the house, and the first bit can just be a tutorial where they run around the inside and outside (soom rooms locked untill later on), and they can just do some crazy things and see some crazy things, and they may have to approach someone (from the family) to get there first kinda quest...

Hmmm, interesting theme for a game. This could be a lot of fun. My Grand daughters would probably love something like this.

How about an opening scene where you're playing baseball, hit a high fly, and it drops in the attic window, of "that creepy old house" that every second block seems to have. Your game centers around trying to get your ball back.

In order to get your ball back, you have to go into first, the creepy yard full of strange plants and creatures, then enter the scary, victorian style house through the back door. the path to the backyard is rife with man-eating plants and cast-off experiments from Uncle Fester.

Once you enter the house, you meet the creepy but kooky inhabitants, and have to do odd chores for them, find keys, bring them stuff, and generally, do some of the whacky things that have been done in their movies, TV series and cartoons.

You start on the main floor, hit the dark and cobweb infested basement, go up to the 2nd floor, third floor, and finally the attic, to get the ball. Each floor could contain 1 or 2 levels, characters and quests.

There ya go. Basic game idea. This one, no charge... LOL
Watch out for copyright on this, and make sure that you don't get your butt sued.

Here's another idea.

The player is a detective sent to investigate a crime committed at the family's home. You would need to engage the family members to find out what happened and what clues they can provide to you to solve the crime. Searching through the house looking for things that are out of place, unusual, and strange until you uncover the crime that has occurred - something that would be unnoticed by the rest of society, but completely frustrating to the family members.

Thanks for all the great ideas, really fantastic. Blade thanks for the ideas and the advice, I'll would take it. Thanks MadMark very good suggestions and great ideas, there are amazing, about the Copyright, don't worry because everything is properly organized and I'm just missing a few tips for the game, and you guys are brilliant and did a great job.

Thanks a lot again.

One guy of the Addams Family is coming home, wants to open the main door, but accidentially drops the key.
suddenly the hand jumps out of a broken window (just a small hole) right next to the main door and quickly grabs the key and then hides.

Now get back the key to get into the house.

Maybe something to build on. I don't know the Addams Family too well, so it might also be off.

Thanks again guys.I'm start to modeling the characters.I'll post
a few pictures very soon.Thanks again

i think madmarks ideas rock! i wanna play his version already
