Advance Games Computing MSc(Masters) Project Ideas

[spm_uk]

Hey all,

Just completed my final year doing a degree in Games Computing and will be continuing on to-do the MSc that the university offers. I am currently in the planning stage for the project due September 2009, I know it's a bit early but I really want to create some portfolio worthy stuff. My 3rd year dissertation was not really game orientated in which I created an alcohol stock exchange with mobile phone stock purchasing for a local bar. I really want to raise the bar and create something employees will be looking for.

My current idea is a team based multiplayer XNA game large puzzle aspect. The game will also incorporate database technologies with persistent statistics for players such as XP, Weapons etc...My research will be into game cross-genres for exam COD4 implementing the XP system and Puzzle Quest with its unique battle system.

I'm not 100% on this idea at the moment and was just wondering what sort of ideas and projects have you done in the past for similar situations or if you have any cool ideas to add to the table

P.S. PSP Dev kits maybe also available

Cheers

you both raise very valid points suppose those kind of games have been done thousands of times and wont really stick out, mayb some sort of casual/serious game...time to put pen to paper
