Video Game Ideas

Sounds like MadWorld but not as fun, when MadWorld was pretty repetitive in the first place.

Official games, or game projects?

For those with basic program knowledge, use your inspiration to make that game idea of yours real.

I've had many game ideas in the past.
Z2 style game, GemsOfMystery, Zelda Miner, Ganon's Revenge, Dark Link's Revenge, etc
I've already started all of these ideas with Open Zelda. I sware I get a new game idea every month.


I had one game idea about a dog who has to rescue his master.
You collect bones, fight postmen, and try to avoid being caught by the dog catcher. A side scrolling type of game.

Feel free to steal it.

This thread is mainly for sharing ideas for proffesional games, but thanks.

Did I not mention the program that punishes you for repeating stunts?

And my game is more than just killing people. You can blow up buildings, do stunts, or basically anything, as long as it's awesome.

Haha. You're telling a guy with games that you can actually play and are pretty fun that "this is a thread for professional games that will never be made, but thanks".

Sounds annoying.

Well, this is mainly for sharing ideas of possible bigger games, though I congladurate him for making his own.

I, for one, think it's very possible.

No, I was talking more about the sheer number of weapons, items, party members, and gameplay elements. Especially the gameplay elements. Also the fact that the player character in this game is supposed to have complex relationships with nine nameless party members sounds like a bit of a stretch.

And no, I didn't read your post about the network thing, but I understood your general point that "it would be possible".

Well, the relationships wouldn't be that complex. One thing that may be hard would be a journal the player has, using iformation he or she has collected. When you first see an enemy, a crude sketch would appear in its entry, along with a short description. As you meet the enemy again, the drawing gets ore detailed, as does the description. The journal also shows what you have done with NPC's in the game, and your relationship with them. For example, if a man tries to pick a fight for staring at his wife, you'd write an entry saying how he's an *******, and such.

One last thing- the game would have a mixture of real-time and pre-rendered cutscenes. They would be almost ideantical at first, but a pre-rendered cutscene would be used to show something graphically taxing, like a realitic explosion, or a flash flood engulfing a forest.

I've always wanted to see a fighting game on the DS because then one could create a "custom" controller on the touch screen by drawing buttons, dragging them around, and choosing their functionality.

I can't really see too many uses for the touch screen for a traditional 2-D fighter at the moment, but being able to make your own controls would be absolutely appealing.

A fighting game on the DS that would best be able to make use of such a feature would probably be Super Smash Brothers.

I've also been coming up with two Super Smash Brothers games. One is my "ultimate" one that has some gameplay mechanic changes and movesets. I have a very large notepad document detailing movesets and mechanic changes. The other one is a Super Smash Brothers 64 remake adding Bowser, Ganondorf, King Dedede, Mewtwo, and Mr. Game and Watch, and overall just a list of rebalances.

WHY MUST IT ALWAYS COME TO THIS

So, is anyone interested in learning how to pitch a game?

Erm, how?

Also, the game, there would be different races of beings.

There would be Vampyres. (Not vampires. Bram Stoker, though an awesome writer, anglicized the word, which annoys me.) The vampires would be proud, mostly rich, and pimp-tastic. Most of them would have hats and canes, and expensive suits.

There would be demons: They would be like normal people, but would have silver pupils and no irises, along with the larger addition of red skin, and in some cases wings or horns. There would be fiends, who are like humans, but with red skin, archdemons, which have horns, succubi, who wear little clothing and vests that reveal the breasts, but with their nipples covered, and with wings. There would be half-demons, too, mostly half succubus or archdemon, that look like normal people, but with silver pupils and no irises. Many of them are persecuted, and some have fallen into poverty or prostitution. They wear normal or sort of provocative clothing, and mostly live in group homes in large towns or cities.

There would be ghosts and spirits, too. Some would be just classic 'orbs', while others would be the classic ghost, chains and all in some cases. There would be different types of evil spirits, will o' the wisps damage your eyesight and lead you to haunters, grueosome goblin-like creatures with small, slit-like eyes, large noses, and witch hats. They are thin and about five feet tall, with long and dangerous claws, and sometimes gloves retrofitted with syrenges loaded with narcotics, to give people hallucinations.

There would be other generic mostly hidden creatures, too, like mermaids that come out of a lake if you stay buy it enough. Werewolves would be very rare, but they could be found in the forests. They would be very tough, almost impossible to kill, as they're agile and very strong.

By the way, the succubbi would look very simila to the Castlevania succubus.

Google it, but be warned, the official pictures of it contain nudity.

...but seriously, I wouldn't doubt that that's the reality for many videogame developers, unfortunately.

That's pretty true. They say that the hardest part of getting a game made is getting a publisher. They say Ubisoft will take lots of new games, if they have potential, and it sometimes hires the developers. Also, EA is good like that.
