First Ideas!!!

I first and foremost wanted to decide what type of mechanic I would like to use. Since I have already done a lot of research discovering what mechanics are already out there and other things.

Here is a link to that research

Game Interaction Mapping

I decided I would like to stick with the mechanic I was working with during my spring semester at parsons which was drawing. Still I feel there are not enough games with a drawing mechanic and the ones that are available are too similar and not fun in my opinion.

Some themes I was thinking about are:

1.Paparazzi
2.Music
3.Dancing
4.Fireworks
6.Racing
7.Light

I did more research on the paparazzi theme because I found it the most interesting, and the most appropriate for the target audience.

Paparazzi is derived from an Italian word for mosquito. So already you can summarize this works as means an annoying pest.

Paparazzi is a name for photographers who run behind celebrities to get pics of them for money. They can shoot from afar and are often unseen. Again they receive large sums of money for their pics.

Precedent would be:

Paparazzi the game
