Day 19 of
National Game Writing Month! These game concepts are silly one-offs that
will never be considered for production. If you’re inspired by one,
feel free to use it, but it would be nice if you told me!
Taking the concept of an average person in ridiculous circumstances that I started yesterday, Minimum Wage has you play as a fry cook at a fast food restaurant in a universe populated with superheros and villains.
Playing out similar to a game of Diner Dash, the real hook of Minimum Wage is humor that comes from juxtaposing such grandiose characters with the mundane very day. Can you still do your job while the fastest man alive is marking back-handing comments about the service? Will you be able to keep the raging beast monster happy and well fed so it doesn’t eat your costumers? Is your boss a megalomaniac evil genius or is he just a jerk? These are the riveting questions at the heart of Minimum Wag.
Want to do your own NaGaWriMo? It’s fine if you start late. It’s a made-up challenge. Write a good one and include the hash-tag!
