Video Game Ideas

Yes, another one of these threads.

Do you have an idea for a video game? Post it here. Say it's genre, title (if appliccable), and write a few pararaphs about its gameplay, atmosphere, and storyine. If you want, you could include a character or weapon list for your game.

Here's mine:


First-Person Shooter with Western RPG, Survival Horror, and Third-Person Adventure Elements.


Starting in he year 1898, the game is the story of a british pseudo monster hunter. He goes around preforming tricks to uneducated people across Europe, tricking them into excorcising ghosts, or killing werewolves that are just normal wolves. The protagonist one day recieves a telegram from a village in a fictional poince in Germany, claiming that their town is plagued byevil spirits. You take the train to the village, and go in the 'haunted' house, and find that the alleged ghost is just a hiding homeless orphan. As you leave the house, you see that the town truly is haunted. As you leave, shaken up, you tell the people that you've done the best you can, and demand pay. They claim that the last person to try to help them owes the money to you. You go to Brundst, a large town, to meet the other hunter and get your money. You meet him after searching through the large town of Brundst. He's a drunken homeless man, living in the gutter near a bordello. In the town of Brundst, lots can be done. You can visit all businesses, go to a tavern, meet people, and get into their personal lives. Sometime while you're in Brundst, you go to a large mansion of a local lord. While you're there, you briefly meet the eyes of an attractive maid, and the man's bodyguard.

That's all I'll say now about the story.

For gameplay, it would be in first person and third person. It may be easier for some people to walk around the town and fight enourmous enemies in third person, but in some places, the first-person viewpoint would make certain places scarier, and so on. There would be many, many weapons and armor in the game, and any weapon stolen from someoneis permanently yours. You can improvise with a certain button during combat, to use a random weapon. I you pick up a straight razor, for example, you could quickly take out an opponent easier than with a chair leg. By pressing the button, you will grab the weapon most effective on your opponent. If they are a small imp, anything would do, but, for an armored vampire, you'd pick up a bludgeon, like a frying pan or chair.
You will be able to fight dirty, and beat enemies to death. You can kill all people in the game, including yourself, in certain circumstances. Also, there would be an AI similar to Left 4 Dead's director for choosing certain enemies to attack you in the fields between towns.

The RPG eleents in the game would be a party system. The party members I have so far are these:

Aformentioned Maid. She is really a spy from France, trying to decifer her employer's codes. Her weapons are a bow, two throwing knives, and a large combat knife.
Age: 17

Aformentioned Butler: With an American 'trench gun' shotgun, he is an all around character, with a very powerful weapon.
Age: 23

Italian American Mafia Guy: An American, the man that owes you money. With a very heavy Iron Shotgun and baseball bat, a heavy character, similar to Team Fortress 2's Soldier.
Age: 28

British Sniper: A British man with a very advanced sniper rifle, with a shotgun attatchment, and a seperate blowgun. His blowgun is a medium range weapon, and he can use it to kill or incapacitate enemies for other party members to kill.
Age: 21

American Photographer: A woman with a camera and revolver. She is a 'scout' character, very fast. She can team up with the sniper to tell you if enemies are coming your way.
Age: 20

Inkeeper's Daughter: The stereotypical attractive barmaid, but only at first. She is a pre-feminist, and sort of a sufferagette. She can't fight very well, being a woman (Joke), but she can get you into walled town and fortresses, due to knowing lots of people in different towns.
Age: 18

Vampire Woman: A female vampire that is the sister of a major character in the game. She attacks ferally, using claws and short knives. She is hated by many other characters, because she's a vampire.
Age: 47, but physically in her twenties.

Witch Swordsman: A witch man. In the game, witches aren't the classical type, but their own ethnic group, similar to the Roma.
Age: 26

Witch woman: A woman of the witches that can use spells and such.
Age: 22

Please, post you ideas for games here! I will go into more detail later on the gameplay.
