If there’s any game development companies out there reading the video descriptions on my NBA highlight videos, I’ve got a brand-new video game idea to pitch to you: Tony Parker’s Pro Parkour. It’s like Tony Hawks’ Pro Skater but instead of Tony Hawk and skateboarding, it’s Tony Parker and parkour. I don’t know if Tony Parker is good at parkour or even knows what it is, but the name of the game rolls nicely off the tongue, and since it’s a video game it’s not like Parker has to even be able to do all the cool parkour stuff I’ve seen on YouTube.
Gamers love those sections of games where you jump off walls and jump across crevices and stuff. They love Prince of Persia. So they would absolutely love a game where they create their own character and complete in parkour tournaments (do those even exist in real life) and live out their parkour fantasies in an environment where there’s only like a 1% chance that they physically injure themselves.
I tried to start developing this game myself by downloading Unity3D, but the interface was really confusing so I gave up. Then I started trying to do the 3D modeling by using Blender, but that was really confusing too. That said, developing games is really easy. The hard part is coming up with the ideas and I already did the hard part, so I don’t see why a game dev company can’t pick up this idea and pay me 80% royalties for it.
