Ideas

[Zoo]

I have epic ideas some times. I put them in the chat box to discuss in real time, but I want a better way of storing them. have fun!

: the arm programmy future spacey first person shooty game, best idea all day. So I'm thinking: Online play, custom codes sharable via the internet, fun gamemode, deep and intense story mode with emphasis on plot and epic gameplay with an open world,

[2012-08-23 09:20:45] Zoo: sweet boss battles

[2012-08-23 09:21:08] Connors: lemons

[2012-08-23 09:21:22] Zoo: maybe online stadium for watching top players battle to the deat

[2012-08-23 09:21:23] Zoo: h

[2012-08-23 09:21:44] Connors: DEATH BATTLE STADIUM

[2012-08-23 09:21:59] Zoo: or maybe a mloveive war where everyone logs on, and then thousands of players on two sides battle at once

[2012-08-23 09:22:08] Zoo: how come games never do that?

[2012-08-23 09:22:20] Connors: yeah why not!!!

[2012-08-23 09:22:34] Connors: like tf2 but everyone on the same server lol

[2012-08-23 09:22:38] Zoo: Ooh, death battle arena has a thing where you can place in game money bets

[2012-08-23 09:22:39] Connors: jkjk

[2012-08-23 09:22:59] Connors: GAMBLING. That's always great to put in games.

[2012-08-23 09:23:01] Zoo: and you'd need to purchase binoculars and stuff

[2012-08-23 09:23:06] Connors: haha

[2012-08-23 09:23:35] Connors: and if youre really really good at the game you can figure out how to rig the contests

[2012-08-23 09:23:55] Connors: no actually rigging contests is easy isnt it

[2012-08-23 09:24:12] Connors: HMMM

[2012-08-23 09:24:31] Zoo: but the story mode is where it's at. It'd have it all. sweet bosses, epic cutscenes, great story and cinematics, maybe a level with giant mechs, high speed action platformy bits, and of course, good AI that makes the game feel fresh and interesting,

[2012-08-23 09:24:42] Zoo: unlike every other FPS cranked out every year

[2012-08-23 09:24:52] Zoo: Really, the AI in some games bugs me

[2012-08-23 09:25:07] Zoo: I think there should be stealth and puzzle elements too

[2012-08-23 09:25:20] Zoo: like if Zelda were a futuristic shooter

[2012-08-23 09:25:41] Connors: he's an ambitious one

[2012-08-23 09:25:49] Zoo: Emphasis on upgrades and progressive difficulty increase, making it challenging, but not frustrating

[2012-08-23 09:25:59] Zoo: Sweet music, too of course

[2012-08-23 09:26:08] Zoo: every genre, to fit the mood

[2012-08-23 09:26:14] Zoo: so it pleases everyone

[2012-08-23 09:26:31] Zoo: and works into the story as much as the cinematics and script

[2012-08-23 09:27:01] Zoo: man... I should really sell this to someone. or at least copy it into a more safe section of the internet.

tl;dr: A massive 2 sided war game. People join sides, then the sides spawn at their ends of the battle field and the battle initiates! People can spectate. Wars can be anywhere from thousands of players to just a few.
Also storyline modes and awesome characters/abilities/items/ect...

[EDIT] better question:
Are there two pre determined sides, and you choose a side of the war when you start a character? And does this affect the story mode at all?

Battles could range from hundreds of players marching on a battlefield to a few players from opposing teams meeting by chance.

Maybe story mode involves war related missions.

Maybe. I was thinking story mode would be completely seperate from online mode. Except maybe your character. I think it'd have a class system like an RPG maybe. Or maybe different missions as different characters. What if the story mode was in real time? I dunno. Would the main character be a human amputee or a robot like megaman. We know he's got a robot arm....
