Week 1: Proposal

Proposed thesis ideas:

1- Turn Based Strategy Game
Create a turn based strategy game which mimics many elements of a board game. The game's goal will be to develop a base while hindering your opponent's progress to gain advantages, and ultimately, destroy their base. This will be achieved by gathering resources, creating buildings, and raising an army to fight for you. The goal is to make a low cost of entry strategy game that can appeal to hardcore strategists and more casual players at the same time. With that in mind, games will be relatively short (around 30 minutes).

2- Music Visualizer
Build an Unreal Engine based program which creates visuals from musical tones. This program will identify specific note frequencies and create a corresponding visual.

3- Escape the Room Game
Create an escape the room style game in which players explore a closed environment and attempt to escape.

As you can clearly see, I have no bias towards any of these ideas whatsoever, and each has received an equal amount of consideration. With that in mind, here's a screenshot of some brainstorming on the first idea.
