An FPS game based on swatting/capturing a fly

Hey everyone!

ABOUT THE GAME:

 I am making a game based on swatting a fly (Name to be determined).  The game will be an FPS and tactical game where the player's job will be to capture the fly with weapons, such as a swatter, electric racquet, fly-capturing tape, light, food, bug spray, etc.  Additionally, I will be adding two bars, the first is the noisiness meter and the second one is the messiness meter. So basically you have to be as sneaky as possible or you will lose the game.  If you create a lot of mess you will lose the game.  

The game will be level based. 

STORY:

You are (name to be determined) a 12-year-old boy with a lot of homework and your mother is very strict.  So if you don't do your homework you will get a scolding from your mother. Now, you are trying to focus but you would want to do anything but that, and then your day becomes worse or maybe a lot more interesting, a fly enters your room and you want to swat it at any cost. So what would a good boy do? That's right, do their homework but we all know you are not a good boy. You just have to swat the fly.  Just don't make any noise or create a mess otherwise mom will scold you. 

CONCEPT:

So far I have just drawn a rough concept of how I want my game to look.

What do you guys think?

Hey everyone! A little update.

ENEMY:

 The Fly



A simple-looking fly, seemingly impossible to catch, perhaps a weapon should help.

WEAPON NO. 1:

The Swatter



Although this weapon won't affect the fly much, it might be possible with the right strategy and a little determination.

I'm still working on the other weapons and will soon add a video on the gameplay mechanics. So stay tuned!

Cool idea for a game. I assume you will need quick reflexes and precise mouse movement like in an FPS. I see an interesting mechanic as well in the messiness meter where I imagine if the room gets too messy then mom will be angry and you lose the game or something like that. Either way, I'm subscribing.

Thanks a lot for subscribing! and yes you got that right.  What I was thinking was that when both or one of the meters reaches 50% there will be a knock from the mother, it will be like a warning to be quiet and tidier.  Anyway this will be a challenging game to make but I won't give up and thanks again for subscribing!

It's a bit apples to oranges, but your game idea reminds me of a Playstation game I played  . . . a long time ago . . . called Mister Mosquito. Except in that one you were the mosquito and not the human. Anyways, looking forward to seeing how your project works out! 

Thanks for the subscription! I have not played that  game but I will check it out.

Hey everyone! a little more update


Setting up the lair or you could say a potential trap for the fly.

Not as easy as it looks!

The fly just won't slow down.

Don't worry the actual fly is coming soon.



This is just a simple prototype of the flight mechanic of the fly as it will look for places to sit on (Hopefully on the trap you set up :p). 

Hang on tight! a lot more great stuff to come.

Very cool! Looking forward for more.

Much appreciated buddy! Thanks for the support!

Hey Everyone!

Sorry for the late update but I have something cool for you

I made a prototype in the form of a micro game called Just A Bug!

This game will test the core mechanics such as the reflex mechanic, the noisiness and messiness meters.

Hey Everyone! Sorry for the late update again. I have no good reasons except that I will try to be quick with my updates.

Anyway, here's what I have got for you -

WEAPON NO. 2:

The Electric Racquet


When the swatter fails, the electric racquet comes to the rescue.

This looks like an ordinary racquet but don't be fooled, it can be very dangerous as it can zap you as well, not just the fly.

Witness this powerful weapon in action

WEAPON NO. 3:

The Flashlight

Now you might be wondering what a flashlight can do in case of swatting the fly. Don't worry I'll tell you.

This weapon can be used as a secondary weapon to the swatter to disorient the fly making it susceptible to swat your target.

Flies are attracted to light, but too much of it will not be good for them.


More content to come soon, stay tuned!

Hey Everyone! A little update.

WEAPON NO. 4:

The Fly Spray

This is a lethal weapon against your little enemy but has its cost. 

It will be smelly and messy. So use it with caution!

WEAPON NO. 5:

The Tape Ball


This little weapon is basically a crazy ball wrapped with fly tape. 

A sticky ball in short used for aim and throw like a grenade and this will definitely create a mess so again use with caution!

Hey everyone! a little update!

Interactable Object 1

Steel Glass

Need some water/juice/cold drink? Here you can have it but be sure you don't let the fly drink it and definitely make sure to not drop the glass while swatting as it will make a lot of noise.

You have been warned.


Interactable Object 2

A Piece of Cake


We all love cake right? but guess what so does the fly. Make sure you eat the cake before the fly contaminates it and also be careful while swatting as you don't want to create a mess.

Hey guys! a little update

Action Time!

If you thought swatting a fly in 2D was hard then wait till you try to swat in 3D. You will get stressed for sure.

This is just the beginning, don't rage quit just yet.

Hope you like it!

Looking good! Coming along nicely.

The tag on your post says "Just started". Would you say that is still the case? (Just wondered.)
