Video Game Ideas
« on: March 02, 2010, 08:19:56 AM »
As some of you may know, I am also working on a degree in game design.  My major project is next year and I have to start planning the team and what we're going to actually build soon.  I know a lot of you are gamers and probably have some concepts for games in mind.  Here's your opportunity ;)

I do have one constraint though; I have to do an extra CS-portion of the project so the game has to have something kind of "next-level" about it.  The three things I had in mind are either 1) a large and scalable multiplayer architecture with linked servers, 2) some sort of sick physics engine with gameplay based around that or 3) a novel way of interacting with the game.  Examples for #3 are like in the game Overlord you can control your avatar with the left joystick and your minions with the right one simultaneously.  I had also given thoughts to an RTS/FPS combo where it's kind of like C&C but slightly smaller scope so it's a little more like Ghost Recon.

Preferably though, I'd want to do a large multiplayer game :).  Thoughts?

Need for speed MMO... PvP is racing cars for their pink slips and it can have a separate game mode like Twisted Metal where u can attach guns/rockets to cars and go on a killing spree. Throw some GTA Gang shit in their for "Guilds/Clans". Yes I realize this may sound retarded but I am high as shit and this is all I can think of

Twister metal is and will remain to be one of my favorite games. I wish they would come out with a twister metal ps3 version.

I was thinking about using Irrlicht.  We have a license for C4 but that thing killed two of my motherboards.  We were also talking about Unity.  Who knows though, some projects get tens of thousands of dollars of funding...so we could probably buy a license for a commercial engine if the game was worth it.

something like gta, but also have the surrounding area be destroyed and not just the cars. Like make everything destroyable.
