Making a computer game

[rebel28]

Well, title says most of it, i have to make a game for college. The breif that i got was to make a 3D interactive game that includes a timer and scoring. The game has to be like you are searching for something in a room and you can check all different places to look for it. It will be made using 3DsMax and Macromedia Director.

Im pretty low on ideas cos it is kind of a strange breif. I really want to make this something special as i am hoping to go into the games industry after college and want to use this as a portfolio piece. I was thinking something like a sci-fi fantasy interior, like maybe just one room of the interior of a space ship or something, nice techy lighting computer consoles etc?

Anyone got some suggestions? links to pictures or pictures posted would be great

think i might post this in the computer games section too just to reach a wider audience

thanks for any suggestions.

Best bet would be to play lots of games, especially custom levels, as they often have the most unique work. You should be able to draw out some inspiration, just make sure you don't rip any ideas too obviously, you may become very unpopular for that. (I had a 'freind' steal some of my work and pass it as his own)
