Game ideas
Idea #1:
"I was considering making an adventure-based (Western) card or board game but people in the chat were discussing management games, which I like...
I once made a list of character classes and I think that (the list) that would come in useful there."
Feedback:
I received feedback from one member of my class saying that management games in particular are quite mundane and unimaginative for the kinds of games that I normally like to produce. I can agree that they were not my first choice, and that they probably won't be my main choice either.
Other feedback: (from the interactive online tool)
Strategy game
A game where you build towns or communities using law and order to set difficulty
An 'expanding borders' game as befits the American frontier, having a small space and attempting to increase this
A house building game
Resource management system
Papers Please-type game searching for criminals on wanted posters
A game where you play as a Western doctor to showcase the healthcare and medicine of the time
A town building/tycoon game
Focus on the strategy elements of the subject you have studied
Management game where you control and maintain a town or a small group of people
Consider the Space Western subgenre
A game countering the misconceptions about the American frontier
A game focusing on the 'Manifest Destiny' style of expansion
A game that puts out the truth about the time and make a community-based game which shows the actual struggle of the townsfolk
Management game where you try to find water or manage a town as a sheriff
Crime mystery

Game ideas
The whole reason why I got this sketchbook was to note down and visually explore my game ideas.
I started noting these down here, on this page, as it was overdue and needed to be laid out.
I have also put down the feedback from Friday's presentation.
