If you made a game...

[thatstheguy]

Right now I'm working on an old-school RPG, like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy VI. If anyone knows of a program that can do that easily but extensively, let me know.

Game Maker if you just want to make the game. If you want to go all out, you can get a few C++ editors/compilers for free online. Of course, you'd have to learn code so if you don't want to take the time then Game Maker for sure.

I would make a console western rpg set in Middle Earth. It would be similar to Oblivion, but with a LoTR setting. Entirely new storyline which would have references to what took place in Tolkien's classic, but a completely original story.

 

[quiet_samurai]

A spy RPG that dealt more heavily with dialogue and decision making to give it a more spy like feel, with less action and "shooter" elements. You would have to set up assests and gain trust from various entities varying from street level urchins to rich and influential people. It would have some stealth elements, more like Assassins Creed style... blending in with the crowd and less Splinter Cell type. So more of an espionage type of game then an action game. There would be gun play, but using violence would cause the people you use as assets to trust you less and will make you more infamous then anything else. Using your gun would be a rare occurance and only for a last resort is you chose to do so or if it was absolutely necessary to complete the mission. I'd make it full of betrayal and make the player choose between one hard decision or the next.

It would be in space with a massive trade system to make money with and incredible battle mechanics.

It would never happen as... well...

I'm pretty sure they still sell it at best buy.

Looks like my cup of tea but we don't have any best buy's in my neighborhood, at least I think not... *checks google* It isn't open yet but one is coming here. Hopefully it'll be in stock but I may have to look elsewhere as it will be a brand new store with brand new products.

I've always wanted to make a game where you use physics engine based around the rules of electromagnetism. You could deflect plasma beams with magnetic fields, shoot lightning by storing up charge, and deflect or attract metal objects. Once I learned some of the basic laws of EM in physics, I always dreamed of expanding actual physics engines to more than just mechanics. I'd mostly think it would be along the lines of a platform/action/puzzle type game like Prince of Persia.

 

[Zetsubou-Sama]

Sandbox action game.

It would be called 27 and it would involve the main character a former assassin that has to deal with his former associates (the other 26 all masters of a certain type of weapon),and a larger scheme involving government or something.

Quests would go from oddjobs to assassination with entailments on the main storyline, the setting would be a noir-type city with suburbs and a long outdoors.

No instant health regenerator but small vaccines that give you some health that constantly goes down (think pills or adrenaline from L4D).

Gun would use a lock-on system l1, l2, change functions ala RE4 inventory or quick change with square, reloading with triangle, x action button, r1, r2 shooting and sub-type.

Main character would use handguns which get power-up functions that are changed in the menu before a battle (Fire bullets, quick trigger shooting, electric bullets that are affected by environment, curvedangle bullets, ricochet bullets), could use enemy weapons but just until they ran out of bullets.

Handguns go like this (example):

Electic type chains to

burst fire mode, chaining enemies in a stream of elecrticity, charged up railway shot or quick successive spraying shots.

And an acrobatics system like KH II's QTE with the use of analog sticks.

Yeah... i want to play it.

I actually have a bunch of ideas to turn super hero into an actual genre. Not that I'm going to share them here.

Basically it'd be a super hero game, with controls specified for a super hero game, and gameplay specifically for a super hero game.

That actually sounds pretty good. You could turn on your magnet shoes and walk over peoples heads without being seen, then you could drop down, silently electrocute them, and vaporize their bodies. Afterward you could rambo their entire fortress apart with dark matter powder.

 

[TRU7H OF A LIAR]

i've been thinking for a while that there aren't enough games where you play as a bear. not a wimpy bear like kung fu panda, i'm talking a MASSIVE grizzly with teeth the size of Uzbekistan and a disposition to match. i reckon you could make it work if you had a campaign where you're a grizzly and you have to rescue your cubs by mauling every human in the developed world to death. in the multiplayer you could have different types of bears, each with its own specialties.

I just remembered the box is mostly orange now, but I hope for you they have it. Stupid Best Buy stopped carrying ME for the pc, I have ME2 sitting on my desk crying because I can't play it yet... My google-fu tells me there is a demo if you're interested.

ME? I haven't heard of it. Must be small town syndrome striking again in full force.

Mass Effect. I hope small town syndrome isn't THAT bad ;p

 

[xXManslaugtherXx]

i'd have something likea sandbox game with prototype stlye gamplay (if you take away morping, devouring people, ect) along with GTA stlye and you would do what ever you want whenever you want. (there'd be some kind of storyline thougth.....i hope XD)

I would play a game like that.

Who wouldn't. It would be rad, like imagine if you had to break ties with someone because they have become comprimised? Do you let them get nabbed and possibly ID you? DO you try and get them out of the country? Or do you kill them?

 

[Requx]

It would be a rpg/fps like borderlands but it really excelled in an moba setting like dota , or demigod,or LoL, or HoN.

...*starts to cry*... I need to move to a bigger locale. One that actually keeps in touch with the world.

 

[Jfswift]

It would be a third person shooter/space combat sim/RTS. It would be all levels of awesome.

I was thinking that too. I guess i'm not alone (I would love to see more games from this genre).

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

It would be a game about cats... cats with lazors.

Cookie For EXTREMELY OBVIOUS R.

LAAAAAAAAAAZZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRR CAAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

(im sorry thats how they said it).

my game idea (s):
Doomsday Odd.

plot... well actually ive been writing it for several weeks now and do, infact, plan on getting it out there one day. so NONE FOR YOU.

FPS. albeit a slow paced one with enemies who you SHOULDnt attack if you to live.
also other enemies, like ghosts that rip you to pieces upon touch and are extra creepy.

Shadows.

its extremely dark. you have a flashlight. evil is after you. however: evil doesnt exist if you can see it. so you shine your flashlight in the direction of the noise (oh yeah, evil is a kluts and is knocking everything over.) to make it stop existing for a while. so yeah, this COULD result in spastic flashlight flailing to stop the evil whatevers after you, but you have a limited flashlight battery, and have to focus on finding the recharge stations before that levels charge runs out. 2D

basically its meant to be frantic.

Cyborg.

pick ten traits for your cyborg out of, say, 300 (err... too much maybe...) and then go kill crazy villain dudes or something. I dunno. plays like metal slug.

Utopia Down.

plot: your character wakes up. all he remembers is that he lived in a utopia. looks outside and sees an oceon of zombies. grabs SMG...

GAMEPLAY: like galaga or some other SHoot'eM UP game only its in FIRST PERSON.


Of all of these, Doomsday Odd is the one I would like to make. especially since the full plot/premise/characters have taken weeks to fully flesh out.

also that reminds me: I should start writing my ideas down...

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

I would make a streamlined ultra violent medieval RTS. If not a medieval setting, me and my buddy had an idea to have an RTS in which Heaven and Hell are at war. Demons and angels battling it out with heroes like The Angel Gabriel or Charon.
