Hi,
I am thinking about a game where you need to catch an evil magician and during the game you would see him do all the tricks that can be found here:
The game would not say how they are done though. Do you think this is a good idea?
The game woukd be a 3d platforming gsme like the lepz tutorial.
If you vote no please say why
Looks pretty innovative in my imagination ,… Yes!
@Kerters Thanks. If you haven’t checked out the site you should, the tricks are awesome, I really like the univeral levitation
Hey, nice grounds for a game idea. If I may I have a few crits!
You’re in for a nice start, I think your game is heading somewhere, but you should polish it a little, i think!
For example, what is the motivation for the player to follow the evil magician?
If you’re not going to reveal how the trick is actually done, for what purpose would you catch him doing real-life tricks?
Think about it! Wouldn’t it be a much better idea to reward the player by letting him know how each magic tricks is done after every stage?
If the magician is so evil, why does he only perform harmless table tricks? Shouldn’t he be slaughtering innocent chickens with his fire magic?
My two cents! Good luck!!!
dont get me wrong i love magic tricks but sleigh of hand is an real-time event between the magician and the observer, I think this would somehow disconnected the game, magician and the audience.
Training Game
For capturing the wizard or finding items such as wizards hat + wand + cape you receive a video of how certain tricks are done that might feel less disconnected.
Think of evil dark magic like baal from the diablo 2 expansion intro 
In my game I would not focus on sleight of hand but levitation and big appearances and disappearences
@dogzerx I geuss it would be nice to reward the player, so yes maybe the player will find out what the trick is. I will think about this
The game is pretty much good magician (gb) vs bad magician (bg). The bad magician has been selling the gb’s tricks. The gb wants revenge. The gb can use his own magic throughout the game and there would be some stages where you need to fight using your skills.
The magician isn’t doing the table magic for fights but throughout the game you will see him teaching these tricks to his minions/ followers
The game would take alot of art though and this means alot of work. So i better get cracking
What I have decided to do is. During the game you travel to different countries and with each new country you go to you unlock a magic trick that you can learn at home. In china you would learn the chinese linking rings.
Is this just a new way of you getting free magic tutorials? Pretend to make a game hoping people will click your referal link?
No I am quite serious
Remove your referal link from the original post then, otherwise you will end up with another locked and deleted thread
I can see where u are coming from V… But quite seriously I do want to make a game based on what I have been saying. The referal link is to refer. So I do not think it would be fair if they locked the thread
