My video game idea.
Plot:
Johnny Wolfcastle is a giant, vicous looking wolf that is very soft and has a heart of gold who lives in the World of Darkness, a strange world inhabited by monsters. But, he finds out why the world is so dark and it's because a evil eagle has stole the source of light, the Golden Chicken Wings. Johnny wants to safe the World of Darkness from the evil eagle and get the Golden Chicken Wings.
Gameplay:
There are five sections of the World of Darkness which have atleast twenty golden Chicken Wings that you must collect in order to complete the game. The gameplay is usally slow paced, but is action packed when you play as Johnny. Sometimes, Johnny has to skate in caves or ice to get past. Johnny's abilites include breathing fire, bouncing on his small tail and breathing underwater just like a fish for as long as he wants. There are also a boss for each of the five sections.
Here's a picture of Evil Eagle:

I'm not gonna make it's just a idea I will show to some developers when I'm older.

How the hell does Johnny look like Crash Bandicoot? Anyway, I don't care I like my idea and I don't care what anyone else thinks.
Then why did you post it here?

The games industry does not work like that. Even if your idea was mind-blowingly fantastic and original (it’s not), there is no developer that would accept a random game suggestion and then make the game. And you can’t just ‘show’ them the idea; unsolicited ideas become the intellectual property of the party they’re shown to in some circumstances. And they’d need to pay you quite a bit for your idea, or else it would be possible for you to sue them if they ever did make a profit from the game. Also, your idea is nowhere near detailed enough to serve as a full game-design document. It needs a lot more work.
Every games studio already has plenty of ideas for great games that they would like to make.
The only way this game will ever get made is if you do it by yourself.

No, the publisher is the one who pays the developers and funds the game. If you read my post a little more closely, you will see that what I actually told you is that the publishers would be required to pay YOU for your idea lest you sue them for not paying you a fair wage. But it doesn’t matter, because no publisher would be at all likely to buy this idea anyway.

I meant that you should learn to programme and make the game entirely by yourself. That is the only way this game is even remotely likely to get made.

Well thanks for hating my idea and maybe if you read my post a little closer, I said if you don't like my idea, just don't post.

If you can't accept constructive criticism then you might as well have not created this topic in the first place, and frankly, your meagre designs are open to a large amount of criticism.

Yeah, I can see what you mean now. Sorry for wasting your time. I should prepared myself for criticism. So there, I grew up.

Well this is open for criticism, but noone has given any advice except pick on the idea of "show it to some publishers when he's older".

Hey, it's just idea. I'm not saying that the idea will be created if I do show it to a developer, but I am improving everyday, but it's a very recent idea, so it's not very detailed or good. This idea is a lot more detailed.
http://bangpedia2.wikia.com/ I like this idea a lot more.
