Ok so the game is about my OC character that's meets other totally cute and quirky OC characters.
They go on an adventure but there is some big twist at the end and the player has been manipulated the whole time and it's really deep and shit.
I'm the ideas guy, all I need now is $150.000 on Kickstarter, a graphic artist, a music composer and a programmer.

Burning Rangers HD.
I actually normally hate "idea guys" but came up with an idea recently that I'm wondering if it already exists.
Kind of like a grand strategy game, but takes place in medieval/feudal times. You play as a chief physician, who is trying to manage the spread diseases/plagues across the country. You have to make strategic decisions about where to invest resources like herbs, doctors, nurses, etc.
And even micro-manage aspects like what type of water you use, where you harvest your plants and medicine from, how many man-hours you put into training your staff, and stuff like that. If the disease reaches the kingdom, and infects the royal family, then you've gotten a game over.
An RPG that takes place inside a prison. You play as a new inmate. You can choose what crimes you committed as part of your backstory, and the opening of the game has you committing those crimes. No crime is off-limits (though it has to be something prison worthy obviously). Depending on your crimes (among other things), the other prisoners will treat you differently and may or may not want you dead.

>>333819495
Lego FTL
>>333815937
>>333815937
A multiplayer shooter where everyone plays as children running around their backyards. The weapons are all things children would use in their imagination. E.g.
- Holding your finger/thumb out like a pistol
- Broom handle for a rifle
- Vacuum for flamethrower
- Tennis balls for grenades
etc.
All the weapon sounds would be people making the noise like PEW PEW, KABOOM! etc.
You could also add cardboard boxes that were cut out as vehicles. The maps would all be things like houses, parks, backyards, school yards and stuff.
FUND IT.
>>333819495
It's like ftl but in ancient rome
worms but top-down and realtime
And FPS where you can only kill by freezing people and goomba stomping them
>>333815937
Reposting my idea from previous threads:
A third-person medieval fantasy game, which starts off light and cliched but goes full Drakengard by the end. You find out as the game goes along that the game is set after a post-apocalyptic future where the world has slowly rebuilt itself, and much of the game is spent exploring forgotten futuristic ruins and discovering hi-tech equipment to mix with your own.
Combat starts slow-paced but builds as the game goes on to a Bayonetta level, and magic can be completely customized in terms of size, shape, design, effects, etc. Being too violent and cruel will also affect the characters' sanity, which can cause Eternal Darkness-esque tricks and hallucinations on the player.
If it got turned into a series, I'd also want to introduce what I call 'retroactive storytelling', where save data from the sequels would unlock new cutscenes in previous games about plot revelations, etc..
>>333819778
>where save data from the sequels would unlock new cutscenes in previous games about plot revelations
The fuck would be the point of this?
Porn game where you try to get away with rape.
Most of the game is figuring out how to keep the girl quiet/unsuspecting/unbelievable.
You can do simple things like drug her, with varying degrees of covering it up ranging from psychological trauma to murder. The trick is that with your first reported rape, an investigator has taken an interest and he follows you around, so doing too much of the same thing increases your chances of being caught.
Rape victims are chosen like Hitman: Contracts. You just walk around and try to follow an AI'S pattern so you can rape her. Raping a certain amount of women in an area unlocks a new area.
You get points the more creative your rape is.
It's about an all American Fighter Jet named Byakaru...
>>333819845
Product wise, it would encourage people to replay the games and not sell them off after they're finished. Story-wise, it could expand on plot points.
For example, Character A betrays you in game III, and after finishing the game you unlock scenes or playable sections with Character A that expands on how and why, which might also give hints on plot developments in Game IV.
>>333816298

Transforming hero third-person action game.
Rather than it being a straight-up beat'em'up, it involves you building the justice meter by using your powers to dodge monsters' mechanics, saving people and beating them up. No conventional HP system. Form changes are encouraged through high risk-high reward exchange where you have to deplete some of your justice meter to retransform, but correct usage of other powers will let you build it back up faster. When hero meter is full, you can execute a finisher and win the fight.
Involves civilian-mode crime investigation tasks and straight-up action fights when using giant robots to spice things up.
Justice is not optional.
>>333819973
Needless convolutions like that are just going to annoy your players and have everyone just watch the story on youtube
Just play it straight and make it count, thats exactly what made Drakengard so effective, it didnt bullshit around.
>>333820090
If the game gets enough praise for gameplay, could release DLC where you're a woman and rape men.
Sequal could create a character and rape indiscriminately.
>>333819606
Also, forgot to mention:
There would be a perk system that would have stuff like:
Nuh-uh! -- Once per match you can yell Nuh-uh! and get up again after being killed.
And a special hidden kill-streak metre where after 20 kills, you get to go and unlock your dad's gunsafe and actually kill the other kids for real.
Game in which you play as a serial killer. You stalk your pray in a semi-open environment (think Hitman levels), find out how to get into their home, who else lives with them, what "trophy" of theirs you'll take and also how to not get caught by police.
>>333819495
Just add 3D graphics and maybe real-time, everything else follows.
You basically mix FTL and Star Trek: Bridge Commander. Meaning you do all the maneuver and combat stuff from the bridge, but you (and your NPC crew members) also have to repair hull breaches and equipment in other parts of the ship. Which should be fully rendered and explorable.
REPOST from last thread.
Please rate.
aRPG placed in a fantasy setting (how orginal, anon!)
Player would create young character, part of group of friends from village nearby that decided to sneak into ruins that were abandoned for ages and now order of paladins decided to lock the place.
As it would turn out, they were trying to destroy source of energy called The Corruption, but player would fuck up, drop through celling and instead of destroying it, they would free it and it would merge with player.
From that point, player would fight with both paladins trying to destroy Corruption and Corruption itself, trying to take control of his body.
Game would have standard 3D graphics, changing between FPP and TPP. I would try to base fighting system on a bit of souls game, but also add something from Severance: Blade of Darkness (awesome combat system).
There would be corruption system that would affect player appperance and power of his abilities. More corrupted - more powerful abilities but also bigger chance to lost control and for final bad ending.
I would make character affection system, based on player way of playing - some characters would never work with cold blooded murder, while some would be. There would be also non lethal ways to kill both Human and corruption enemies and way to either corrupt or purge them of it.
Bosses would be various heads of paladin orders and some would be possible to skip by right corruption value (low usually), companions in party or right dialogue options (there wouldn't be much dialogue skills as most of it would be based on picking right arguments and options. But one or two corruption skills would be OK.
Possible party members - some paladins, friends and few of mercs that get into Dungeon during game. Yeah, whole game would be placed in one dungeon.
Cont...
>>333820464
Continuation of first post.
Class system - there would be no class system, but skill trees instead for magic, thievery skills and fighting. There would be two types of those: human for standard exp and corrupted for corruption points.
There would be more then few endings. Outcome of entire game would depend on your party and their opinion of you (if some paladins companions would think you are too dangerous and can't control corruption, they would aid final boss during last battle), corruption scale and your decisions. I would also add few secret endings (like for defeating entire paladin order during prolouge, instead of escaping like in normal game route or for finding out some secret routes. You know - some games have secret endings or special game overs for defeating "unwinnable" boss battles)
Well, that is all, for now. Questions?

Normies who go crazy for Game of Thrones don't have the autistic dedication it takes to play an MMO. I think that would fail hard.
pirate open-sea adventure with the biggest overworld in the history of gaming.
ocean mechanics similar to wind waker but mixed with souls-like combat aboard deck + ship weaponry.
global exploration across islands, temples in the sky and even underwater kingdoms.
start out as a down-on-your-luck pirate doing it for the money, slowly realize through your adventures that you eventually clash with gods!
the potential is limitless!
An RPG where you start out as a weak as fuck and poor, and born in a broke village. You start out with like 2 skills, both of which are weak and require some effort to take out monsters. The first area would have 3 varieties of monsters, like slimes/wolves/crows to let you get used to battle but the area is otherwise barren, with little to no materials in it. After you leave the first area, the second one is basically where you now have to deal with 7 more varieties of monsters, 2 of which can KO you in 2 moves, and the next town over is like miles away. After you manage to crawl your broken body to the get, you're refused entry unless you become a slave of that city. So you would have the choice of leaving that city and living it up outdoors style since the second area actually has materials for you to survive, or become a slave and work your way up the city.
Slap on a hunger mechanic, perma death unless you have a specific magic/item and voila, a game.

i want to play a really weighted but fast 2d platformer so image something like this:
it's a game where you play a super strong guy who is tethered to a princess who has been turned to stone by an evil wizard
you can pick her up and use her to attack enemies, lodge her into cliff sides to climb, smash her into the ground to bunny hop on spikes, and swing her around to double jump
eventually she gets new transformations like a ball and chain, a treasure chest, or a huge sword that let you move, attack and perform actions in new ways
in the end the super strong guy manages to restore the princess but turns himself to stone in the process, and the princess has to fight the true final boss instead
skyrim but with souls like combat made by platinum.

My game is called 'Alex the African Axolotl' and it will play exactly like Crash Bandicoot
An open world survival game, but without crafting. Set in a city, you are a vampire. Can enter just about every building. Sunlight damages you at first, but later in the game you will gain some resistance to it to allow you to walk around during the day. Will still have to stick to shadows. You are on a timer, gotta drink blood to survive. Less blood in you, less power you have, like just before death you are no different than a mortal, 30% allows you to turn into bat, 50% you have super strength and reflexes, and so on.
If you are beaten in combat you eventually resurrect on the spot. Police will be investigating anything suspicious like murder and huge fights, so you might just wake up surrounded by officers. Good luck getting out of that, npcs will remember supernatural shit they saw.
You cannot go near churches, silver, crosses, garlic and priests. If you are sloppy and npcs realize there's a vampire in the city they will call police, SWAT, and vampire hunters. And if you stir enough shit angels will come after you as well.
Yes I stole a lot of it from VTMB.
A medieval multiplayer melee game (like Chivalry/Mordhau/Mount and Blade) with autistic amounts of realism and depth in the combat system.
I can't be fucked going into too much detail about the controls but they allow for a fucking ridiculous amount of versatility for combat.
You can attack and block at any angle, thrust, feint, parry, wrestle, dual wield. There would be stance changing and weapon grip adjustment for shit like half-swording and murderstrike.
The movement system would incorporate dodges, climbing, rolling and a whole bunch of other shit.
There would be a lot of customization for game modes and your own character.
Also big battles between armies and seiges.
It's kinda hard to sell it when I don't go into detail on how the controls actually work, but I don't want anyone to steal my idea (even though that's incredibly unlikely)

An arena PvP style combat game.
2 players choose size of arena, 2v2, 3v3, 5v5. 20 heroes to choose from, build a team from selection.
Develop pre-game strategy, when abilities will be used in sync, etc. You have 10-30 "points" to adjust combat stats of heroes. After each bout player will get currency to buy weapons and gear, 1 weapon, 1 set of gear per character.
Duke it out as AI fight eachother with your strategies. Fast paced, best out of 5 wins. 30 second pauses between each duel to adjust stats and weapons for counter-play.

-It's set immediately after the villain threatening to destroy the world is defeated. The hero chooses to live a normal life.
-There are 6-8 jobs the player can choose to work for. Every job is like a mini game. Every job has it's advantages and disadvantages, when it comes to the amount of money you make, and resources you attain, and relationships you cultivate.
-Working a job until it reaches it's goals, will help expand that industry. Which will unlock more NPCs, and other interesting new features and areas.

A game like the Dredd movie/The Raid
you're some form of cop trapped in a highrise building and have to fight your way to the top
each set of floors is one level
enemies have realistic AI so they both act their station (criminal bums aren't fearless killing machines, civilians might help you or sell you out, enforcers use tactics), show strategic-level coordination and adaptation (if you hide in vents a lot and they realize they start shooting holes in them etc) and so on
gunplay and fighting moves are combined to the fullest extent possible
decent amount of resource management elements
It's a stealth game where you sneak into other game developers offices and steal their ideas and make money off of them. Bonus points for destroying all data they have on other games in development so they're forced to cancel.
Something like War Thunder but with modern aircraft/tanks/navy

>>333819924
there's already a game based on this idea anon, in fact there's many.
A game that finds the sweet spot between MOBAs and RPGs. Set at a battle/magic/whatever academy, the game takes a few hundred people per game and gives them roughly a week to powerlevel, quest, train, trade, battle, etc and at the end of it faces them off in an epic final fight. Each player pays a dollar (or some other trivial amount of money) per game, and there's a prize pool spread over the top ten scoring players (whether just over the final fight, over all daily fights, or a combination of the two). The top matches get sponsorship from viewers, who as return for their investment, get to watch the whole thing unfold from a perspective they control, and with notifications of major upcoming duels/battles.
There would be an extraordinary range of classes, races, and crafts to choose from, and the aim in balancing would be to keep as many widely varied competitive strats viable.

Not really. It has potential though. Too vague to give a definitive answer to.
>>333833431
that makes no sense and would probably suck anyway.
>>333836041
I'm not too sure if that's e-sports or gambling at that point. Could be really cool if there was a different style of pvp challenge each day. Hard to balance though.
A FPS where your character is a simplistic ragdoll who can walk, run, and trip on things. Everyone else is also one, and your gun is an object attached to your actual arm. Guns would be blocky objects that are as a whole unaccurate, and if you get too close to someone you'd be likely to hit them with your gun and maybe knock them down. All the guns would have exaggerated recoil, just to throw off your aim.
If you want to go from very unaccurate to inaccurate, you have to actually aim the gun by lifting it up and aligning the sights. This would turn snipers from "point and click killstreaks" into actually high-skill high-reward players.
