Evil Corporation RTS

Hoping this is the most apt subforum.

I'm re-watching Resident Evil the first movie and watching the computer watching the people... It's got me really wanting to see what it would be like to actualy PLAY one of the games from the perspective of the computer.
I know it's rather difficult to think about how it would be organised... but maybe if your 'enemy' was the good guy (or team of them) and you follow them as they progress through everything. The closest way I can think of how to say "the player wins this level" and not the 'good guys' would be that at different check points theres X amount of switches, the deeper in the lower X is, and each of them have to be pressed at the exact same time. If there is atleast that many of the good guys alive by that point then the security system gets shut off and it's game over. However that sounds slightly "defend the castle" but yeah, do alot of other things to try and hinder the 'good guys' progression through things.

I admit this sounds like crap, so I'm wondering, would you guys want to play as the evil-corporations security system trying to stop the good guys? and if so how do you picture it to go like?

You mean like a future tech version of Dungeon Keeper? Because that is what it sounds like.

This, although anything thats anything like Dungeon Keeper is how do the kids say "da bomb"?

You might try looking up the game Evil Genius; it's from a few years ago, I think.

Evil Genius was kind of a little bit like that.

Not quite what you're looking for, but the best thing I can think of.

Yeah either Evil genius or dungeon keepr.

Btw I will never forgive them for DK3 being shelved.

Yeah either Evil genius or dungeon keepr.

I can, although I would have really liked to see DK3 and my anger was almost palpable, I have to say they met their end and justice had been dealt

You want to play either Zombie master (which actually has a map based on the first resident evil movie, called redqueen_b3) or evil Genius.

... Zombie master...

Yes! Something like this, only the zombies are at preset locations (so you lead the survivors into traps) and all you have control over is mechanised things like elevators and lights.
