[bigredlyms]

An amalgamation of just about every game genre in history, starting off as a first person shooter you then find yourself having to race your car against other enemies to get to the abandoned city that is the site of a deadly horror environment where, upon getting to safety, you need to find a way to lead the remaining human colonies (after beating their toughest leaders in a beat-em-up tournament) to safety via a point & click adventure followed by an RTS, after which you fly your space shuttle back to HQ, avoiding space pirates along the way, and when you get to your destination your commanding officer threatens to have you arrested unless you can impress him on the guitar, and somewhere in the middle of this you'll get stuck on a desert island and have to beat the natives in a game of cricket.

Or alternatively, Zombie Tetris.

it should start as a text based adventure

that i would play (but why a girl?)

It's how I pictured it, but I suppose it would make just as much sense with either gender.

[sub]Alternate answer: why not?[/sub]

i think it will be better with a guy (since you already said that the last boss will be a friends boyfriend who is being a serios dick)
i was once in such a situation and i almost killed the guy (the dick) and you can add that the hero is in love with the dicks girlfriend and give him another motivation to face him...

Why not keep the protagonist a girl then? I say let there be lesbianism, either for fan service or seriousness.

or you can choose that way there will be more diversity idk (and what fan servise? you dont have fans its a new series)

[funguy2121]

lets get as many original ideas we can

post your game idea in one sentence

you can post more than one

be original

be awesome

"Be awesome." Love it. I wonder why the OP didn't post his own ideaR. 'kay. Here goes.

I want to see a modern multiengine game like the old Super Star Wars / Shadows of the Empire games where you get to have Jedi Battles (ala Jedi Outcast) but also standoffs with storm troopers, space battles and as many vehicle levels as possible, or possibly even a game with one engine which is so fluid that it flows seemlessly between vehicle and on-foot sections but is still far more complex in its mechanics than Battlefront or the third Rogue Squadron game was, specifically those lame-ass on-foot levels, and certainly a game that is actually challenging since, let's face it, The Force Unleashed is about as difficult as Connect4, but then again Star Wars has been done to death, so why not a series of games that gives the Lucasarts (back when they didn't suck - what what?) treatment to the Matrix movies, since there's such a wealth of NPCs (the Oracle, other ship captains), bad guys (Smith, Upgrades, the Merylvingian) and playable characters (Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Seraph) and also such great potential for level ideas, in and out of the Matrix, including: the fields where they "grow" people, the machine city, Zion, the tunnels, the freeway, the rooftops, the merylvingian's building...or, maybe just an RPG where you have to decide whether to be an honest person or dishonest person at work, then have to deal with the fallout from your other employees.

A game where you try to persuade the player-character to stop playing vidja games (he is also playing the same game).

Would induce a crushing awareness of your own procrastination as you try to motivate someone else to do work, you may just get up and do your own .

I'll name the game after my captcha, 'The Toldwit'.

[idodo35]
