Entry 3: The Chosen Idea - KEV-4 and Dom’s Whimsically Great Escape, a puzzle arcade co-op game with character-based controllers inc. Leap Motion and Joysticks (9 June 2018)

I've chosen KEV-4 and Dom’s Whimsically Great Escape, a puzzle arcade co-op game with character-based controllers inc. Leap Motion and Joysticks, because I see potential in it as much as how portfolio worthy it'll be. I'll explain why so:

-Idea requires 3D modelling and animation.
-Posses a very interesting experience with the controllers and co-op experience.
-Idea needs a very strong UI and feedback to have a better UX.
-Idea uses Leap Motion and custom-made controller.
-Feasibility wise, I'm confident that I can build this game. I think.
-THIS IDEA IS REALLY RISKY IN THE MARKET BUT IT'LL BE QUITE IMPRESSIVE.

My goal for choosing this idea is to have a better chance of getting an internship into the game industry instead of design/content creating industries.

The reasons of not choosing the 2.5D side-scroller or the Vitamin D Tracker are :-

-Cinematic 2.5D side-scroller:-
  -It's a plan B, too safe and generic.
  -Only visuals is new. Not the gameplay experience.
  -"Just another indie side-scroller.
  -Not impressive enough.
  -Doesn't quite stand out from the game ideas by classmates.
  -Feasibility wise, I'm confident that I can build this game. No doubt.
  -NOT ATTRACTIVE ENOUGH ACCORDING TO MY OPINION

-Vitamin D Tracker:-
  -Not actually interest with this idea but I do interest for its functionality.
  -Important but doesn't meet my goal.
  -Idea requires a specific hardware that I'm not familiar with.
