Theme suggestions - Garry's Mod

Math. I'd love to see fun math oriented gamemodes. Garry Ware and its math minigames were a good start, but I'd like to see something more interactive that really turns simple math into tons of fun.

How about RTS. Gmod needs more RTS gamemodes.

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;20766326]Last time we tried RTS as a theme it didn't work out. RTS games and gmod just don't seem to work well together.[/QUOTE] No, they just take too much work and artwork for your standard contest entry. :D

[QUOTE=Levybreak;20771884]No, they just take too much work and artwork for your standard contest entry. :D[/QUOTE] That too.

Some sort of, out of the ordinary simulations. IE: Ants, Get crubs ect IE: Post apoc happened at the start. -Evade fallout particles -Craft weapons/flares -Wait for evac

[QUOTE=Dlaor;20765629]How about RTS. Gmod needs more RTS gamemodes.[/QUOTE] I called dibs on that like a week ago :smile:

So why not have RTS with a long period of development?

Lol i think water would be a good idea. I was going to suggest that but it is already on the first page lol.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;20946054]So why not have RTS with a long period of development?[/QUOTE] Because I called dibs on it silly.

[QUOTE=Kopimi;20949232]Because I called dibs on it silly.[/QUOTE] Because it's already been done. You can't claim an entire genre of games. That's like suing valve for making Half-Life because you called the concept of FPS games.

Racing of some kind needs some death in it, Something that well make players want to come back.

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;20974629]A 3 month contest. Wonderful.[/QUOTE] Doesn't have to be perfect it could just be a short and simple gamemode, GMDM, or Witchcraft or something. :wink:

Modern Garryfare :D

I don't know a ton about scripting, but what about a random gamemode script? The creator would have mutliple different interchangable and slightly random lines of code. Every time the gamemode runs, the game would randomly use different fragments of code to create the gamemode. A success would be a script that can vary from a deathmatch, to RP, to an RP where everyone is props and you get money by killing designated people.

Also, only certain combinations of those fragments would work. Doable, but not in the way you want, really.

I've been bouncing the idea around in my head of a free-for-all contest. Everyone makes whatever they want. The only problem is that someone could take an old gamemode of theirs and build up from there for an extra 3 weeks. Next best thing would be psychedelic theme.

[QUOTE=grea$emonkey;20991800]I've been bouncing the idea around in my head of a free-for-all contest.[/QUOTE] Which is not challenging at all. How about abstract or abstract-strategy? Developers would either have to create entirely new sort of gameplay, or relatively simple gameplay that is more challenging. [QUOTE=grea$emonkey;20991800]Next best thing would be psychedelic theme. [i]Super-awesome ACIDTRIP gamemode![/i][/QUOTE] Also works. I haven't seen any gamemode that involves psychedelic elements.

What about, each month you take a dead or discontinued gamemode and you ask players to work on it.

[QUOTE=CrashLemon;21018754]What about, each month you take a dead or discontinued gamemode and you ask players to work on it.[/QUOTE] I kind of like this idea. Take old gmod 9 gamemodes or something and assign teams. Perhaps even take a few gamemode concepts, find out who wants to compete, and at the start date announce who is working on what with who. That way nobody could ever start early. Who likes that idea?

I adore it grease :3
