Hey,

I've got a base idea for a game but I can't complete the idea.

What I got so far:

Genre: platform Shooter / terraria/minecraft type game
Story:(I got nothing yet.)
Concept: Player has the ability to run around, jump, (what any platform game would have) and can equip weapons, tools, items, aurmor, etc.

You can build things
You can customize character
It's multiplayer
It has ragdoll physics
It includes weapons, tools, items etc.

Please help!

Uh. You should first of all seek the genre and the scenario && concept of your game...

example:

Genre : RTS (Real-Time Strategy)
Story : Loli takes revenge on Juli, who destroyed her flowers, by zombifying Juli's family.
Concept : The player as the ability to create flowers and spawn bees. Bees can be used to zombify other players/AIs.

Now, this is very simple, but it does help to figure out what is the game you want to create.

If all of these works properly, just make 30 levels, a protagonist, intro and ending cutscenes, and WHAM!, the GMC will love it. Few noobos actually get to a working-engine-with-all-the-awesome-stuffz-i-want stage, and you say you have.


Anyway, you want a gameplay idea? A plot idea?

Thanks! I really needed that! Problem is, I don't like zombie games. They get boring and many people are starting to consider that. :/

You have two choices:

1) Change the zombies to skeletons and make the game set in a gothic castle. Tell people your game is "like Castlevania".

2) Change the zombies into demons and make them move twice as fast and shoot fireballs. Add lava and fleshy walls at places. Tell people your game is "like Devil May Cry".

Nobody will ever notice it was originally a zombie game.

Thanks again. You helped a lot!

Mommy, look! I know how to copy-paste!

No, seriously, Jobo says that

Spoiler

you're breaking a forum rule since you don't have any ideas to begin with.

Ok then. Sorry for breaking a rule. I never knew that rule and I will shut down the topic soon.

BTW... Do you have the engine? What sort of ideas do you need? If you still want them... ANSWER THOSE QUESTIONS!!!
Oh, and you get better help if you answer these in your opening post already.

Well, I guess this topic is against the rules. I don't really have an Idea YET. So I guess it's final. I'm shutting down the topic

Well, I guess this topic is against the rules.

Not if you explain what you already have good enough. Do so.


For instance, you could say...

Hey, I'm making a game about a fish with guns. I want to make pollution a big plot point. Any ideas on how I can develop this idea further? You can move around freely on the screen and shoot left/right independently of what direction you're moving. You can get an ally that moves around after you, too. This ally is another fish with guns.

Then we say something like "you totally gotta have a dolphin pirate boss that hurls boomerangs at you!" or stuff like that. And so on.



Or something like that. What do you have? Describe it as much as possible.
