Let's Make A Game

[Jack.EXE]

Before you ask:
No, we don't expect to make a AAA game, but we hope to make a pretty good indie.

 

 

The Project is closed for the school year, check back next summer!

[spoiler|Design concepts for Kat]Underlayer Fleece (toggle-able) Overlayer (armor)I bet you want me to make an under-underlayer, but I wont. You perverts.

I'll start with a few Ideas I have:

It's set in the future, we've moved away from bullet based weaponry and have instead adopted flechette style energy based weapons (basically mini-railguns), ditching traditional weapon layout for more compact bullpup style. These weapons can bypass most armor types, except for tank-like Titanium Carbide Plating.


What other things can you guys think of?

Here's a link to a google doc made by Kuzma.

Summary:

OpenCL physics,
TressFX skin & clothing
Tomb raider & Crysis influence

FPS & RTS All in one

No more bullets, RAILGUNS

A Girl is the main character, her name is Katt, her close friend is her sidekick, his name is Mason, He's a Medic, it is later revealed that Katt is adept in hacking and computer use.

Katt is severely injured in the beginning, mason discovers her and nurses her back to health. and is again injured in an explosion of a truck, though only minorly.

females have a high chest and head armor bonus, while non critical areas are near useless to armor

males have more health, but females have a smaller hitbox.

good guys is northern US, bad guys is southern terrorists and bandits, anyone sensible has moved north

everone is fighting over a new resource found on the moon, which was struck by a meteor and spreading the resource over the south USA.

HOVERTANKS

Hot Girls in Epic Armor

Linus, Slick, We need a forum section for this game to organize it right

Linux Support & Mods, lots of mods.


that covers the first 340 posts of this thread. hope it helped!

the flechette rounds are already armor piercing, and the titanium carbide can't stop them, it just increases survivability. (Kind of like kevlar with AR rounds)

Flechettes are tiny little darts or blades, not energy weapons. ;)

 

If it's actually energy weapons, maybe the vehicles could have some kind of highly reflective coating to try dumping as much of the heat back as possible?

[Jack.EXE]

well, the flechettes are fired off by strong electromagnetic rails, which consume energy, the flechettes are charged with energy in the process.

I've always wanted to see a somewhat star wars like sci-fi but its a fps/rts 

[Jack.EXE]

speaking of fps/rts, there could be a "commander mode" where you would play from an RTS perspective, and give commands and information to the squads below, which are real players playing an FPS.

tanks that fly .

[Chakshu]

EMI shield That stops all the bullets.

[Jack.EXE]

shields might work, but we want to keep them from being OP

[Jimbo]

Fair enough I guess. My interpretation of energy weapons would be something that doesn't fire any type of projectile, but rather a beam or burst of energy (be that electrical, thermal, whatever). Not saying that rail guns firing flechettes don't also sound cool. :)

[Jack.EXE]

ok, i have to create an image of what the weapons could look like

 

Edit: Nevermind, I'm bad At paint...

[Jack.EXE]

tanks that fly .

 

Like Hover Tanks?

[Emperor_Piehead]

Like Hover Tanks?

nah make the tanks VTOLs

[Jack.EXE]

nah make the tanks VTOLs

 why not have hover tanks AND VTOLs?

[Emperor_Piehead]

 why not have hover tanks AND VTOLs?

It would be fun to fly a tank with a jet engine besides hover is overused how many vtol tanks do you see?

[Jack.EXE]

i think a jet tank would be a bit cheesy...

[david cassar]

Like Hover Tanks?

Exactly huge fans blowing underneath the tank with enough thrust to lift it up :D . It might work.

[Jack.EXE]

so hovercrafts with tank cannons?

[squirrl]

Nope, a tank with wings!

[Emperor_Piehead]

so hovercrafts with tank cannons?

Ok I would go for that

[Emperor_Piehead]

If were going to "make a game" shouldn't we come up with a plot first?

[Jack.EXE]

hmmmm...... i've thought about this. but i'm thinking of establishing some core mechanics and some other stuff first, then we'll make the plot.

 

but i'll start thinking of some plot Ideas while we do.

[Emperor_Piehead]

Well if we do sci-fi

A- Rebellion

B- War of sorts

C- Alien invasion

D- infectious zombie like disease

E- Trying to colonize awaken ancient power

 

 

Other mechanics 

A- Vehicle support but that is me and love of big battles

B-  single player or multi player

C- 2 steps from hell orchestra music

D- Ground battles and space battles

E- If we wanted to do something slightly strategy there is the squad command style like republic commando or more like a real RTS like tom clancy end war

 

these are some ideas off the top of my head
