Prohibition on Submissions of Game Ideas
No External Game Ideas Accepted
Bizarre Creations does not accept any external game idea submissions made by any third party including you. Please do not send us game ideas, scripts, or level ideas.
Why We Don't Accept Ideas
Bizarre Creations has its own design process which creates many viable game ideas and therefore does not have the time or bandwidth to develop ideas from external sources. We advise budding game designers to apply as level designers first - a pure games design role is very hard to come by nowadays!
For Independent Developers
If you are determined to see your original idea as a game by selling it rather than joining a company, here are some suggestions:
- Get yourself a lawyer and/or agent and protect the idea legally
- Detail your game thoroughly - storyline, levels, characters, gameplay, weapons
- Work out all logistics - team size, timescales, platforms, costings
- Research equipment and external resources like motion capture
