• What is this?

[b]The Video Games Ideas thread is the place where we post and discuss facepunchers game concepts, storylines or
random thoughts about games we would like to see, but that they do not exist (yet)[/b].

Let me start

[quote][i]i have been thinking about this game some days ago, its simple but its a start. I would love to play a military based game that could successfully combine both first person shooter and strategy genres in one
well packed game, where the player acts like commander, deciding the approach to different situations, like infiltraiting, straight up attacking and taking care about diplomatics with other factions, and anytime when he feels like
joining the fun he'll be able to use units, squads, vehicles, spies or buildings in order to accomplish specific actions.

The big goal would be making it multiplayer, with players joining certain commander('s?), where he assigns tasks that give certain benefits to the ones who take them. Making the battlefield super hard, dangerous and giving
the commander the option to assign squads should at least help to reach some sort of team playing between players. Also, some sort of vehicle/buildings co-op. Also, the abilities of the commander like seeing incoming attacks or
mined fields should make the players ask for orders very frequently. (to avoid dictatorship, the commander should be cycled every certain amount of time).

Sounds like an idea in diapers, but if you picture it, it might actually work.[/i][/quote]

what are your ideas, facepunch? (sorry for any errors i made while writing this up)

[QUOTE=extremejon;12054552]I may have no experience, willpower, or intelligence but one day I am going to make this game. I've been thinking about this game for years now, and It will be made no matter what

I want a game called "Fuck shit up"

You play as a viking teleported into a modern city. It will be like Grand Theft Auto in the sense that you can roam around freely, but there are no missions, there is no currency, and the only goal is to fuck everything up. You go around breaking shit around the city, you can hijack shit and crash it into shit. I want there to be realistic debris flying everywhere like in Burnout. One of your weapons should be screaming. If you scream at someone hard enough, they become a viking too and assist you in fucking shit up. You can either be elaborate in fucking shit up, or you can do it the simple way. For example, you hear about a business meeting in the 20th floor of an office building. You can take the elevator up to the floor and burst in with your posse and fuck shit up, or construct a giant ramp of dead bodies and burst through the window on your motorcycle

You win when the entire city is rubble, you fucked all the shit up, or if everyone is a viking.[/QUOTE]

I had this idea for a while:

"It's hard to be a videogame bad guy" (I am bad at naming ok) is a turn based puzzle game where you play as a generic enemy npc in a generic modern military shooter
To win in a level you have to approach the "player" between a certain time period (getting there too fast will result in a "too easy" level failure and getting there too slow would result in a "this game is too hard" failure)
Basically it's a labyrinth kind of game where you have to get into the line of sight of a moving exit
So yeah it's nothing like a labyrinth game but I hope you get the idea

Another idea I had was a turn based platformer but it [URL="http://robotacid.com/flash/7drl/bump.swf"]has already been done[/URL] in the current 7drl contest

I had one.
I'd call the game 'Contingency.'
It'd be like a city building game, less like Sim City, more like Anno, but the main focus would be on preparing for disasters.
It'd be near future, so there'd be room for currently unavailable technologies to use in the game.
A campaign would be about the survivors of a cataclysmic event trying to survive in a world trying to kill them, while each level brings them closer to the fabled safe zone. Eave level would have different or a combo of disasters and you'd have to use new tech to overcome them.
Multiplayer would work with as many players as possible, and they all have to survive the random disasters that happen at intervals while helping or screwing over each other.
An example might be a flood coming, so you have to built barrier walls and drainage system, and move the people into safe zones. But another player might come along, and damage the barrier, or disable the drain, messing up your plan.
You might have a zombie plague come in in another game, so you'd have to build armories and mass produce military and law enforcement to arm the people and overcome them while building safe zones where infected people could go to, to be saved.
Not the most serious, but would be a lot of fun with friends.
