Make Unique Unity Games (Not another zombie shooter!)

While searching for some sample Unity projects to look at, I came across Muse Games, a really small game company that uses Unity 3D, my new favorite tool, to create 3D games. While I'm hardly a gamer myself, I really enjoyed the unique gameplay though one of their Unity games, Guns of Icarus. This Unity project is really a refreshing piece, as there are absolutely no zombies. Seriously, a game with no zombies!


Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, everywhere.

If you're interested in building a Unity 3D game, consider these questions:

1) What will the user get out of the game afterwards?

This is a rare question for coders to ask, as most projects involve the player mindlessly blasting wave after wave of zombies then looking up and realizing that its 8:00 PM on Sunday and they have exams on Monday. I plan of adding bits and pieces of fun info in future projects, even just using the word "microcontroller" is a robot game is a starting point.

2) Are there other games out their like yours?

Making something truly unique is the Indie developer's only chance to really compete with major game companies like Ubisoft.

3) Is there a component that actually makes the player think?

Think... What is this foreign word? Giving the player the chance to use their brain can really be a big plus to your game.
