My game is in early access and I'm really listening carefully to what players want in the game. One player said that my game is boring and that it needs to be more fun. This is a fair comment.
My game 'Boot Camp Fitness' is a non-VR workout game. If it was VR I could think of many ideas to make it more fun. Making a non-VR workout game really fun is a challenge.
So far I have 18 unlock-able locations (the more time put into the game the more locations unlock) and fun military ranks to unlock, such as Sergeant Sixpack or Major Motivation etc. There is also a kind of military 'Congratulations' at the end of workouts where the sprite animation salutes. These are kind of fun . . . but I'm stuck for ideas on how to make it even more fun.
Here's a video of a short 10 min workout, since then I've released an update with improvements, but it gives an idea of what the game is about:
Maybe I could include a configurable option for a kind of crazy mode? Where perhaps an army drill instructor could shout encouragement at the player in a funny way?
Another idea is that more things could be unlocked as more workout time is put in - such as extra exercises or info about various aspects of nutrition (with a nutritionist advising what that content might be?). But then again, is that really fun?
The one thing I can't do is change the sprite's appearance, such as giving her unlock-able workout gear etc as I'm using pseudo 3D.
I'd really appreciate some help with ideas to make this game more fun.
