DiNoA (rockford's Worklog)
Competition entry 
A new beginning
I would like to make a strategy game based on dinosaurs.
The game would be resource based, building up a dino preservation park, through DNA cloning/extraction/research.
Starting off with just an empty piece of land and a small loan, you would have to build a base, then stock it with buildings and materials to allow dinos to thrive. Visitors to the park would provide funding for building extras and new research etc.
Well that's the idea anyway (subject to change!)

Sounds more like Jurassic Park to me. I like strategy games and I wonder how this turns out. Will there be a dinosaur breakout?

I've never played Zoo Tycoon or the Jurassic Park games, so I can't say.
My basic idea is a cross between Jurassic Park (the movie) and Theme Park, only with a lot more to go wrong...
This will be an original game, not a remake (which I tend to specialise in), and coded in PlayBasic.

Surely that's the whole point of a dino game - to let them run rampant and eat the guests :p

I've changed my mind about this a bit - 4 months jusst isn't long enough for my original proposed idea, however I have two others that are both dino based and either could easily be completed in time. I've chosen the simplest (in concept) to do first. If there's time left I might start on the other.
