We will sell!
As the creative director and marketing guy, let me boost some encouragement... our game will sell!
Let's look at some of the things we done right so far:
1. An attempt to break away from all survival genre: Just too many games want to outdo Resident Evil in terms of scariness and fear factor. Didn't they realise the resident evil games characters used to move like tanks?
Our group made used of the ghost and supernatural theme to create a refreshing genre of herding. Score one for innovation!
2. Scalability: I WILL EMPHASIZE THIS PART over and over.... our game must be scalable. Look at our dear old Mr Mario. 20 over years and still going strong! Mario is very much a scalable product as his character has been used in many genre of games, be it platform, puzzle, sports or RPG, you see him.
Our lil' lantern guy can appear in many other games that we create in future. I am thinking of putting down expansion plans like going into xbox360 once we hit it big. For our current game the first move would probably be hitting on MSN games. Let users download for a trial 60 min and pay afterwards. Multiplayer option would have to be in future releases but I guess the right way to go now is to make single player as fun as possible eh!
3. Characterization: I believe besides puzzle games, most games need a certain character for gamers to relate to. This is related to point number 2, where you can bring your character into various platform after it becomes popular. At the very least our character is not a BALL or some other unidentified objects. :P
So there we have it... good reasons where our product is innovative and can sell.
Oh, some titles I come up with:
Illumighost (think illuminati)
Lantasia (fantasia with a lantern)
Lanspectre (lantern spectre!)
Candles/lantern in the dark (alone in the dark anyone?)
Super Ghost Lantern (hahaha so super nes title!)
Lanser (our lantern is called a lanser since it's something like a lantern and laser beam combined!)
