Barbershop Research

Today I researched traditional barbershop methods. The main aspect of this is using a small razor without a barrier to shave extremely close. My game should incorporate this idea. If the player is inaccurate with the blade, the customer should get cut and the player should be penalised. My research also gave me the idea of using shaving foam to obscure the player's accuracy.

Ideas

Today I was thinking about how lately video games often seem to feature character customisation. I have seen players spend long amounts of time perfecting their virtual characters. To me, it seems to be a form of vanity. This got me thinking about male gamer's vanity. I did a little research into this and feel it would be fun to make a game about male vanity. One major thing men are vain about is their hair. I thought it would be fun to reflect this by making a game about obscure facial hair styles. The best setting for this would be a salon or barbershop.
